Hi Guys-Thanks for the responses. All good suggestions. I agree-just over 3 cubic yards of cement. The HD trucks from HD and Lowes are a possibility. But when you figure out the additional costs of the dump trailer and disposal fee-it does not become cost affective. Craigs List-never used it. But I now have a time issue (my wife wants it done yesterday. LOL). The container companies all have hidden fees. I have told these guys up front that I have 3 cubic yards of cement, plus other waste. I have received quotes from $150.00 up to $400.00. They nickle and dime for each type of waste dumped as well as time to do the job, gas tax, etc. I'm going with Waste Management. For $200.00, I'm getting a 20 cubic yard trailer. I can dump all the other yard waste plus any junk we find in the garage/house. That fee includes tax and disposal fee, one week to get the job done. So I'm pleased. My wife says that for every dollar I save, that will go to my custom bumper for my truck. Shrock any one? LOL.
TravelingFool-trust me, I wanted to beat the snot out of the cement. We started of with a 16 pound sledge hammer. I figured, just a small patio, no larger than 6x6 with two sets of steps. The idiots who did the job started the pad no deeper than 2 inches deep. The cement exploded with the first hit. I figured this would be easy. By the time we got to the steps, the cement was over 3 feet deep. There was even re-bar thrown in. We had to get a electric jack hammer to finish the job. Then, to add insult to injury-the idiots cemented in the wire reinforcement of the stucco into the steps. So when I took out the steps, out came a portion of the exterior wall. Just adds to my irritation about this triple retail house. Any how-I ask you this. If you beat the cement to dust, then what? I just want to get this crap out of our yard. Also-if you are going to call me a pussy, please prefix that statement with "I like ...". LOL.
Thanks again guys.
