It is nice to have plans for the new basement floor. But we are still a distance away from installing it. We first have to rip the old floor out.
Most of the floor was covered with an old, crumbling, two inch thick concrete slab, which was easy to remove with a small sledge hammer and a pick axe.
This was all good, with the exception of one corner that had a newer, good, stiff, four inch deep concrete slab.
One of the previous building owners must have installed this section not too long ago. It required a much bigger sledge hammer and a lot more muscle. Thank god that we had both handy! Particularly a lot of muscle thanks to our friends that lend us a hand.
Thank you so much to

For all their help!
Wow, you do have nice friends! Now what happens with all the old concrete you removed? Anything that it can be turned into?
Very nice friends indeed. I feel very privileged! Your question about the concrete is very timely. For the answer, see today’s blog post!
