> Hi:
> I need to have a hole for my new tower 6' x 6' x 7.5' deep. Due to 
> limited lot size that I live in, and mainly to keep peace in the 
> family, I am looking at removing my old tower base 4' x 4' x 5' deep 
> and it contains no re-bar, just tower base stubs. I can't remember 
> what grade of concrete it is, but it is about 14 years old. I am 
> limited to 2 types of removal, crane and Armstrong method. The crane 
> company won't make any guarantee's they can complete the job due to 
> complications etc, and want a hefty payment up front. I am now 
> looking at having a young guy come by and use a Jackhammer to do the job.
> Has anyone tried demolishing their old tower base and how long did it 
> take any problems etc. Since this undertaking is new to me I am open 
> to suggestions and or comments and hopefully some good suggestions.

> Thanks...
