The concrete is out there piled up because last year we hired a guy with an excavator to get it out of the pasture where it was buried along with all kinds of trash. The former owners used this part of their property as a dump. It was expensive to hire the operator and machine, so instead of having him break it up and remove it - which he could have done - we asked him to make two piles. I have goats and they had nothing to climb on and help keep their feet worn, and I thought they'd like it. Also back then I didn't know I'd have any use for the fill.Aimeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06358194304460170717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7009967346802541581.post-41314480474866572042010-03-11T17:31:19.194-08:002010-03-11T17:31:19.194-08:00You got me curious, googling for "tools to br...You got me curious, googling for "tools to break concrete" brings up drop hammers (only for flat surfaces), jack hammers (too heavy, I think), hydraulic splitters (drill holes, then this exerts lateral force to break it), and, my favourite, the hydraulic crusher (looks like a dinosaur head which bites down on the concrete pieces). Bewildering choices, but I'm sure if you talked to an equipment rental place, they could recommend something, although they all sound pricey, and labour intensive. And requires good safety gear to operate!Garden Lilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07555471590488138155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7009967346802541581.post-70637318499738084372010-03-11T17:06:39.731-08:002010-03-11T17:06:39.731-08:00It sounds to me also that he's lucky to have y...It sounds to me also that he's lucky to have you sticking with him in the mud and pigs and goats and garden adventures. Perhaps all you need is a good pair of boots to reinforce the ankles, and you're all set for more concrete carting.Garden Lilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07555471590488138155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7009967346802541581.post-73673126783569008912010-03-09T12:38:17.696-08:002010-03-09T12:38:17.696-08:00ha ha ha ...you ok : ) ?

That is what I saw our bee keeper friend did to our hives. He placed it on cinder blocks and few feet apart from each other. See pic in our blog. <br /><br />Happy Spring!!!WeekendFarmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10360299517360406552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7009967346802541581.post-14299695507765156242010-03-08T14:20:31.289-08:002010-03-08T14:20:31.289-08:00What a great post.
