wait until after the accident then point fingers how wrong they wereThey are gonna catch the pothole this time
These two dudes on the concrete saws have been going 9-0 today, no glasses, face shield, hearing protection or dust mast.
The safety guy is having a coronary but doesn't have enough balls to do anything about it.
that is a typical safety guy

That was exactly my thought.
Or line a ditch with them to prevent erosion.
Or bury them half in the ground as a 2ft retaining wall.

can't say no to a free slab (well, cost of fuel, but he drives a pickup home from work, so haul it home a couple squares at a time)
so what if it ends up a lot bumpier than if it were poured and properly pinned together with rebar
could probably get them fairly flat when set in a layer of sand

How are you thinking of pinning it?
I was thinking bending some square U bolts out of 3/4 rebar and then drilling holes in the slabs and dropping the "bolts" in to join adjacent pavers to each other.
I'm thinking that would let the concrete conform to the yard like a big rug.

you can't
plop them down on a levelled bed of whatever you've got and let them be marginally better than mud

for what you are going to pay to get that kinda crap hauled, why not just lay in some nice 4" rock?

No
They can't.
They must spend hours upon hours and dollars upon dollars to do it wrong and not come out as good as doing it for not much more dollars and way less labor.

We are theorizing this stuff is going somewhere, it's cut in what appears to be a 2x3 grid. They are loading 9 of them in the rear of the dump trucks.
Supposed to have the new slab poured by Friday.
That's what I was thinking

If I rebuilt a slab from these it would be shitty but it would out last my grandkids.
I was thinking a walk way or Spanish looking patio.

It will get crushed and used as sub base on a future project.

Possible, this is just totally different method than they used to tear it out the first time.
This was more methodical. IT seemed like the bricks where better cared for vs using the excavator and ripping them out.
This has 11eventy billion more saw cuts on that 2x3 grid vs the previous 5x5 or so cuts.

Xwhatever on sign me up to haul those home.

I can tell you the idea when I remove old concrete for my buddy is that it’s easier to remove a few big pieces than a million smashed up pieces. Way less cleanup.

Get off my lawn, punk!
A story in 6 pictures. It snowed last night. For the 7th or more nights in a row. Getting real tired of the mud.
When I got there both trucks were stuck and got stuck tied together. We didn’t have any more straps so had to try it as is or leave the one in the back.
Had to hit ‘em harder than I’d like 6 times but I got ‘em both out. One of my chains sacrificed its life though. Blew two bars on one side.
