How would you demo a small cinderblock wall? It's about 20 cinderblocks
long, not attached to anything except to a section of wall I want - but
there's a crack between the section I want to take out and the section I
want, so that may be fine. It's about 3 cinderblocks high, the bottom
cinderblock was apparently halfway buried in the ground as a footer. It's
mortared. I don't know if it has any metal reinforcement, it probably
doesn't need any.

Hi,

I think a sledge hammer would do the trick. An you could certianly do
it for sections of wall far away from the remaining bit of wall you
want. If you want a nice clean cut, you can rent a grinder cutter and
cut your way through it. This would give you a very nice clean cut.
May be over kill though. The other way would be to chisel small chunks
off at a time. To help you you can rent a demolition hammer. These are
like smaller versions of the ones you see "roadies" use to digg cut
ashpalt roads with. They are electric powered and come in smaller
lighter sizes.

For a 3 block high wall, I think a cold chisle and hammer would
probablly do you though. Should not take too long even at small chunks
at a time.

Best, Mike.
