floor tile remover, gas powered or manual if you have some upper body strength and uninjured shoulders.

Yeah, we tried the spades thing yesterday but ended up just spending 4 hours sitting on the floor with a hammer and some other tool with a flat thing to get under the tile. Only about 3000 more sqft to go.

HA!!! we are going thru this right now. Sledge hammer....then square shovel to break'em up. Takes no time. Wear a respirator and eye protection. Dust and debri goes everywhere edit. We have a concrete slab. Last edited by Rod Cramwell; 11-02-09 at 12:15 PM. |

This just gives me nightmares when I was working on my house. this is your only DIY soultion. lanolium(sp) - they have giant spades on a broom handle at home depot (I own one of these to get all the glue up from previously having carpet) It takes time and endurance. Keep replacing the blades every few feet and it will be easier.

When I have a project I do a quick calculation. A. How much is my time worth (aka what I would charge someone else if they asked me to do this job) B. How much would it be worth to not be sore and tired at the end of the weekend. C. How much is the time worth that I get to spend with my kids or my xbox while someone else does the job. If A+B+C=Less $ than hiring a few mexicans I head on down to my local day labor depot.
