Demolition Advice
We are tearing out a deck built in the 80s, in RI, US.. and want to put a patio (6-7" step down from the door). And there's this delightful surprise.. a cement slab.
I've never demo'd this kind of thing before. I can assume it's attached to the house with rods? It's 3.75 inches thick and underneath appears to be just clayish dirt.
Should I sledgehammer it? Get a masonry blade and cut it apart? Any ideas in general so I can get rid of it and not damage my foundation? Thanks!

Rent a jackhammer. It'll be a lot easier than a sledgehammer
See? Simpler than I expected! Thanks
And hope they didn’t put rebar in there😉
Wear a mask. Concrete dust is really bad for you.
Good call, thanks!
