How's
the best way to cut a long thin trench into a concrete floor that has
rebar? Got a kennel and want to install a trench drain in an existing
floor. The cut
will be about 25ft long and about 8-10in wide. What's the different ways a
homeowner can use to complete the task? (Mind you I'll have to rent the
tools).


There are saws that us abrasive wheels that will do the job. Should be
able to rent one and buy the blade.

You may also want to call a concrete cutting specialist. I've used them
twice and the price was reasonable and it was done quickly. Most will
give you a price on the phone. Remember, you have 50 feet of cutting to
do to make a 25' long trench.
