I'm An Idiot
For some odd reason I thought I would be able to finish this job over the weekend
 And now here I sit, still vibrating, unable to move. I have to find some time to finish them between finishing the job I'm on, starting the job I'm supposed to start on tues and starting the job from hell next week.    Ugh. The crap I do sometimes.

Re: I'm An Idiot
I hope there is another way to get that concrete out of there besides using the steps!!
There is no way you can do all that quickly with a 60# bosch breaker. Where is the air power?? That pile of crap to clean up makes my knees hurt just looking at it.

I don't break enough concrete up, every time I look at some I say "oh, yeah, few hours no prob."  One day I may learn.

Re: I'm An Idiot
Dude, you have got more lube in your joints than I do. No way i could do that anymore.
Why no backhoe with a breaker? Maybe it's out of line to make this joke but here it goes; those guys standing in front of HD would have got that done today. Don't tell Mike Finney I made a funny.

Hey thats it, dexpan. Shane, this is the way to go. Just drill some holes. No more (insert vibrating smiley). I used that to get rid of a solid set of steps, 9 feet wide, and 7 treads. Sat back and watched the fun. No HD parking lot required (except for the clean up)

Re: I'm An Idiot
That sounds like cool stuff. The link didn't work for me.
How long is the set up time? A lot of holes? I suppose that depends on how big of chunks you want to handle
