removing concrete board
I have a small foyer with exposed concrete board. the previous owner had left it exposed, and apparently had a litter box there, so the concrete board now smells of cat urine. My question is how to remove the concrete board. (It's been mortared into place.) thanks, Homi |

With nails or screws too? Screws you may be able ot back out. Nails you can pull. Again a flat bar. Won't be an easy chore either way. |
If I understand correctly, this board was set in morter horizontally on a
concrete slab? Either way, I'd go at it with a chisel and hammer. Cheers, cc "gd226" wrote in message ups.com...

It looks like over a slab, but I haven't really begun to chip at it
yet. if it is a slab, will the cat urine odor have affected that too? |

It's not designed for that application. It may fail, and sadly -after- you have the finish flooring installed over it. There may some affect to the slab but I doubt it's much. Clean it with bleach or other products made for the issue. |
