You are a man after my own heart your obviously not poor if you have a lovely pool like that But you just cannot get a decent quote or workman to do a job hence do it yourself
I’m in the middle of two skimmer boxes…rented a concrete saw for 275…hot knife through butter…depth of about 4 inches…hatch sliced the block in minutes…then sledged to hammer drill out…bear of a job…
This video was very helpful for ideas on my own return repair. Thanks for being someone who value adds to the internet!
Very nice job!
Nice work, had never heard of a concrete chainsaw -- looks super clean and way better than chipping all that out and then pouring a new slab.
Nice job! Definitely a good idea to keep the old slab piece to drop right back in.
Great job I’m in a similar predicament this may be my option…

Nice work
You should of made another cut to take a smaller piece out then you can remove the rest but good job
nice job man. the contractors wont take it because its too small of a job. other words, its a pain to do and not enough money to be made.
Have you never heard of a concrete saw? Round blade which is thinner and a LOT easier to control.
I considered a round demo saw but than you can’t make clean 90 degree corner cuts. Only a concrete chainsaw can make clean square corner cuts.
A 14” diamond blade is surprisingly square at full plunge. Just get as close as you can, tap with a sledge and lift with a Grabo.

We cut the space we need and then cut boxes inside that space, hit it in center with jackhammer, and literally pull the rest out with a pry bar 1,2,3
great
Why don't you just fill it up with concrete rather than reuse the same piece ?
Because the coolcrete surface would be lost and the new concrete would look very different from the rest of the pool deck.

Turn the sound off.
