Question:

The furnace was replaced and moved. Where the old furnace was is left a concrete pad approx. 5X3 ft. and 1 ft. high. It seems to have been poured with the original floor. Due to the renovations it's smack in the middle of the entrance to the furnace room. One broken toe already. Any ideas on how to remove it without having to hire someone and not kicking up clouds of dust from a chop saw?

Answer:

The chop saw won't do it either. It will probably have to be cut up with a jackhammer and if its that large, the footings for it will also have to be considered. A thought would be to break it up so that there's at least a one-inch trough that can be filled with new concrete.
