Harvesting a Tiki from Concrete - Collecting Tiki

P Polynesiac Tiki Socialite San Pedro, CA Joined: Jan 29, 2004 Posts: 2099	P Polynesiac Posted posted on Wed, Apr 14, 2004 12:55 PM hypothetically speaking, would these tikis be in a slab of concrete, or concrete just around the base (to give support)? Would the hypothetical owner of said tikis want you to replace the concrete after the tikis are removed? (if it's a slab) - a chainsaw to the base may be the easiest (unless you are or know of a concrete worker) or, can you dig them up? if so, the hypothetical sledge hammering stage should not harm the wood, and like TIKI DAVID said, chisel the smaller chunks (if there are any - sometimes concrete will come right off with a few well placed wacks) You actually may just want to chisel to get cracks in the concrete, then wack away with the sledgehammer to remove the chunks "Hey, at least I'm housebroken."
