    Getting rid of 4" concrete
    Hello there People,

    I wish to remove the 4" base of concrete in my second floor bathroom of my 1905 home. I need to verify any leaking from any of the bathroom fixtures. I cannot come up from the 1st floor ceiling because I have a 2-year lease tenant. They are at work a great deal, but not enough for that to be accomplished. I am a female and I will be doing this on my own and would appreciate any information anyone is willing to offer. Thanks so very much.

    Fabulous Fall to All!
    Ree ;) :D

    SLK1SILK...

    I doubt you have a 4" concrete floor on second floor....maybe 2", but have never seen a 4" floor.

    Like MK said... can you tell us exactly why and what you are trying to accomplish?

    Not clear here... ;)

    Thanks... MARK
