I read most of the other posts and from a couple of them, these thoughts
come to mind:

1. An air chisel. With a fairly massive air chisel, one might be able
to power through the thing fairly qiuckly.

2. Here in the country, when we used to heat with wood, an old farmer
saw me hacking away at a gnarled tree crotch one day. He said that his
dad taught him to throw those aside and "let 'er rot down a bit.
Maybe, if there's no rush to get it done, a couple of years out in
the rain and snow might make the job a whole lot easier. Maybe one
could even speed that process by soaking the thing with a garden hose
now and then.

3. Sell it on Ebay or Craigslist. I leave it up to you as to whether
or not you warn the prospective buyer of the situation. Even if you do
warn them, I'll bet that somebody with more time on their hands than
your son may have, will take you up on it.



If he does scrap it, I will probably buy some of it back from HF some
day as some sort of hand tool.



Good luck to him,
Pete Stanaitis

"The Kid", my 25 year old, got a fifth wheel travel trailer for free. So
far, he's taken the backhoe and ripped the whole top off. Now there's a
ripped up floor on what looks to be a decent fifth wheel frame.

It looks like they used self tapping screws to attach one layer of plywood
to the frame. Then a second layer bonded over the top with zillions of
nails. The deck is not prying off the steel frame no matter what he's tried.
He's about to say UNCLE and send it to the dump.

Any suggestions on what to try?
