Hi all,

Last weekend I rented out a kango along with a 4" inch chisel bit to lift all the tiles from the kitchen floor,

I spent 6 hours on the kango last Sunday and although I was wearing knee pads my muscles in my legs from my knees to my hips are killing me as I had to stay tence when kneeling on the floor pushing the kango forwards 馃槄

I don't usually do this type of work daily I'm a pharmaceutical chemical process operator.聽

I'm now in a position where the adhesive which is much like concrete is to be lifted from the concrete floor.

I've done this separation of adhesive from concrete聽in the hallway a few months ago using the 聽same rented kango and a 4" chisel bit resulting in a smooth finish aswell as relocating the radiator to widen the hall.

But the kitchen is a much larger area to complete and well I don't want to tare the musscles in my legs again next weekend 馃槄

any advice on any alternative method or equipment i could rent out;聽and there's no such thing as a light weight kango is there? very heavy after holding for an hour or two.聽

thanks for discussion 馃憤

No didn't think of that but then someone whom won't claim off my house insurance after payment 馃槄

I had thought of getting a woman though, anyone got a contact number for Benny Benassi?

The easiest option if you've got a couple of spare mm on the floor height would be to put down a self levelling compound and then you can re tile or use whatever covering on top of that. Much less labour intensive and will give a good level finish聽
