Here's the problem:

That sure brings back a few memories. I had an uncle who loved to build
with concrete and I ended up with his home.

A professional strength jack hammer will be able to take a foot or so
off without all that much of a problem. I suggest having someone come in
and do it, it will likely not cost you more than renting and doing it
yourself.

As for my uncle, he left a 4 ft cube solid block of concrete by the back
door. While it was handy to drop off a bag a groceries while I unlocked the
door, I did want to get rid of it. I tried all kinds of do it yourself
ideas. In the end I dug a large hole and with the help of several other
college age guys we rolled it into the hole.

Later when I was having a 24'x24' concrete pad removed from the back
yard I insisted on a dollar quote. everyone wanted to give me an hourly
rate. I am glad I did. That little pad was reinforced with 4" angle iron.
It took them forever to break it up and get it out. They lost money, but
they did the work.
