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.

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 can wheel it through the back yard and up a little ramp I made to the alley.
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.

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.

You don't even know how much I was wishing for there to be a parking lot that looked like that around here.

Yup, I have broken up a few sets of steps in my day. Concrete will kick a person's butt, no matter if it looks like it is about to crumble or not.
I dont remember what it is called but, you drill holes, pour in this stuff and the next day, Presto!!! The concrete is all broken up into little chunks.
What the hell is that stuff called....

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)

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
