Thank god for an angle grinder


Thank god for an angle grinder, originally uploaded by Sams76.

Just an update on the kitchen reno. We're progressing with it, faster than we thought yesterday. We bought several inadequate tools to assist us, but what worked in the end was a very nifty angle grinder to grind the mortar out and then a nifty wide blade jimmy thing - hard to explain what it is. That's what worked. Otherwise, I reckon we'd have only gotten 10 more tiles up in small, crumbled pieces!

Fingers crossed this weekend we can get most of the tiles up and then concentrate on the carpet.

An angle grinder is what dad and I ended up using in the bathroom for the stubborn bits. We used a chisel and a hammer to start, them moved to the grinder to finish. But it's hard work and messy!
