Prioritized Daily Task
Home Depot delivers and installs electric double oven at cabin in Heber
Mike Conner came out and moved the A/C unit off the concrete slab. He will not break up the slab. I have to breakup the concrete slab that has been tilting so the A/C unit is sitting on. The pictures below shows the 3 pieces of rebar protruding from the slab and attached when poured to the foundation wall. When the ground settled and rodents burrowed under the slab causing it to tilt. I broke the slab loose causing 3 chipped holes in the foundation. On this project I used sledge hammers, drilled 3 holes and used a concrete saw blade in my skill saw. With a 3/4 concrete punch I finally got one hole completely through and could put a chain around on the under side of the slab. Then I was able to use the 6 foot iron bar that was used by rail road crews to lay track and a fulcrum to get on end the slab up high enough. There is about 1/3 of a cubic yard concrete in the slab and it weights a little over 1,200 pounds. I drove Michael's Land Rover up from Lehi. It has no trailer hitch and I only weight about 185 pounds, no match for gravity and flipping the slab. I went down to my sister, Elain's cabin, and got Doug White to come up with Uncle Ernie's jeep that Doug got running. Using a chain wrapped abound the iron punch that was through the concrete slab and the other end of the chain on the trailer hitch, the Jeep in 4 wheel drive flipped the slab. Then was able to break it into 4 separate pieces that can be carried off.
