Step 5: Demo the concrete patio

Now this was a project and I'm not even strong enough to use the jack hammer. Come to find out, our patio is 4 inches thick with wire mesh at the bottom so the concrete did not break up in nice sized chunks like we were hoping. We did get some large chunks, but mostly we had to grind the stuff up until it was gravel to get it lose from the wire mesh.

We had a nice surprise when Jeremiah showed up to help!
Next step is to clean up the mess we made, figure out somewhere to dispose of the concrete and start building the retaining wall. Stay tuned...
