Default Breaking up concrete

Rent a back hoe and dig it up and put it in a dump truck.


That would be efficient alright, particularly if I happened to have
either the backhoe or the dump truck.

However, the concrete is in a restricted space that would make this
tricky. The concrete I want to get rid of is in a flower bed that is
located between the house foundation and the front sidewalk, and it
needs to come out without damaging either the foundation or sidewalk.
In addition, the house overhangs the flower bed by a few feet so
there's no clear vertical space above the junk concrete. It might be
difficult to get a backhoe bucket in there without touching the house.

Maybe a little Bobcat-sized backhoe would be OK, though I don't happen
to have one of those either.


Do you have a (really) long chain and a bumper?
