How to demolish concrete container?

[Tina A Västerås]

Hi! We have two of these concrete troughs on the property. According to what people say, they were previously used as basins for water where oxen or horses would drink. There is also an old, more or less completely decayed and rusted pump nearby. The property is located by a river.

The person who built the house was a bit unusual as I understand, and it might not be entirely impossible that he actually built it himself to get water to the house. Perhaps a stretch, but possible?

If we are to demolish it, what's the best way to go about it? It’s concrete, no idea what type. They've likely been there since before the 50s, when the houses were built.

It does have historical value, of course. That's why we're thinking of keeping the other one, which is better situated, and doing something fun with it.

Sorry, there was an unintentional double set of images.

Hi!

How did it go? I'm going to do a similar job myself soon and I don't know how to go about it either.

In my case, it's a standing kar.

Hello! There was no demolition. The project has been postponed until next year. It seems like it might stay after all. Feel free to let me know if you manage to demolish yours

Hello!


I have now demolished my cobblestone-built smoke oven with a concrete slab on the top and bottom.

An 18 kg demolition hammer from Bauhaus did the job.

Good luck with yours (if it still exists)
