    Got a boiler and it needs to get out!

    So, I landed a sweet job scrapping/removing junk from a guy's basement. The main obstacle is this FREAKIN HEAVY boiler that we just couldn't get up the stairs no matter what we tried. I've searched the forums and come up with...just beating the hell out of it with a sledge and wedge? Does cast iron really break up like that? I mean, if it does, it seems like it'll actually be a pretty straight forward deal...



    Any other tips/advice? I have a 4 1/2" angle grinder but it just seems like sooooooo much to cut through. Anyone else tackle one of these beasts like that?

    Thanks guys and gals!
