How many guys you got?
You're gonna need like 3 guys with demo hammers to get it done in a day.
Then you need 2 or 3 "gophers" to carry debris into a dumpster buckets.

I know my crew could get a couple thousand square feet of deck mud and tile ripped out in ONE day. So it's just a matter of figuring out how much to pay them. And maybe take them out for beers after.

ya you'll definitely want to to use demo hammers with floor scraper blades to do this... it'll be the fastest way to go
