Okay.

A little buzzing bug in my brain is saying something about using a rocksaw
instead. Investigate it.

How about a tax to support any military conflict/police action over 3 months
old?

An actual war, we can do what's been done in the past.

Found it on the net. Looks like it's used for "trenching through rock". I'm
not quarrying, Dave. Just removing some concrete. :-) P.S. Maybe there's a
differnt one you have in mind? I'm lookin' for the simplest way to do this
and thought for sure it would be that jackhammer until Ransley came up with
the Bobcat. That sounds like even more fun!

How about cutting the sidewalk into its natural sections. Move the sections
out with the bobcat. Make the repair work on the sidewalk later easier.

Bobcats are fun and effective for small jobs, but too big a job for quick
work manually. Used a bobcat for clearing small tree stumps, general
leveling of land, moving lots of soil/gravel/rock, and excavating a french
drain. Always point the bobcat straight up an incline or straight down.
They can topple on an incline if going across, instead at the incline.

Thanks for that one, Dave. I'd have hated to learn that the hard way!

Get permit from the city?
Make sure you know what's under the surface in the way of services.
