Daox,
It's a year later. What did you end up doing with the rest of the concrete? Jack hammer, sledge, put it on the back burner?
I had to take out a 20 x 15 footing a previous owner had poured in the back yard. The local tool place wanted 150.00 a day to rent a jack hammer. I'm 45 and in relatively good shape... or so I thought. Long story short, Harbor Freight sells a 400.00 electric jack hammer. I bit the bullet and bought it. I spent about an hour a day after work, and viola! No more footing and no muscle strain.
Let's see... 2 days at 150.00 a day = 300.00 plus Chiropracter 4 times = 120.00 plus 3 days of missed work, roughly 1000.00
Grand total = 1420.00
My lazy, pain free solution, 400.00 and two weeks for an hour a day.
And now I have a jack hammer that paid for itself that I can rent to people if I need to and/or have it available when I decide to tear something else up.
