Busting concrete with a jackhammer. What a job.

Today I am trying to bust up some 3000# chunks of concrete with a 80 # jackhammer. What a job. Fun though. Gives me exercise.
One of the worst things about aging is losing strength. Don’t have what I use to and it is aggravating
Have any of y’all busted up concrete using a jackhammer? I think I’m going to go get a mini excavator with a jackhammer tomorrow. Although most youngsters can’t keep up with me I wish I could find one.
Need to go get another case of Heineken. Gonna sneak though the fields on the four wheeler so.I don’t have to go on the highway. Hopefully this rain passes soon so I can. go back at it.
I think I’m going to takeArmymann50’s advice and go get my heart checked out. Even though I haven’t had any chest pains i n a while.

Why didn’t you rent a Honduran to do this?

But why?

What kind of commie shite is this? It's the 4th of July. You should be barbecuing and drinking bud light.

Yep when I was in my early 20's. Now at 46, I'm still shaking from it. But I enjoyed it. I like real work like that. Chainsaws, sledgehammers, large tools!.

I’m in no shape to use a jackhammer.
I did it 15 years ago while renovating our house and knew that I wasn’t man enough.
A few years ago I was with a volunteer group doing work on a house and we needed to demo some old concrete steps. I got in the jackhammer for about 10 minutes and was done.
The concrete had rebar all in it and it was a bitch. We had to use sledgehammers and a blade saw in addition to the jackhammer

I'd be pissed if my neighbor was jackhammering on my 4th

Just let the hammer do the work.
Not that hard.
Independence Day bruh

Yep, same thing for a sledgehammer too, most baws don’t understand the physics of how that shite works

Props to you. My neighbors have two teenage sons and pay someone to mow their grass.

Sounds like you’ve got some issues that you need to work through.
Posted on 7/4/23 at 4:35 pm to Bigfishchoupique
You need to hire an assistant.

The work is constantly moving it.

Yep, just lift, rotate, and let gravity do the rest

I can’t find one. I need 4 of them for about a week. Where are they ?

Pro tip: Do NOT lean or press down on the jack hammer. Your job is just to balance the jack hammer. Let it do the work.

Yes sir. You have to keep moving. When you make the hammer bit sing you are cutting concrete.

Once again you nailed it. Obtuse1. I admire your intelligence.
Happy Fourth of July.
