Backyard Day 2

I woke up relatively sore on Wednesday morning. That 4lb sledge isn't much, but wield it about 2500 times and you start to feel it a little bit. I don't want to use the 12 or 20lb that I have available to me, simply because I don't want to replace the sliding glass doors. (My wife craves French Doors right there, and nothing would make her happier than a chunk of cement flies through there.)

So, I called my cousin who is an electrician and told him what I was doing. He said he had something cool he was going to bring over later....

He shows up with this big drill looking thingy. Plugs it in and drill about 64 holes in the patio. He then switched out the bit and grabs a chisel style bit and starts scoring up the cement. :) About 2 hours later and a few (okay I am lying... a bunch) of precisely place whacks with the sledge and this is what we have at the end of day 2....

A lot more progress. Now all that is left for me to do in the next few days is turn some big rocks into smaller rocks and then move it to the front yard to be disposed of.

I figure that with John's little tools we sped up the work by about 5 days. Can't beat that now can ya...
