news:TlgPh.6652$M.578@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Hi all,

laid on concrete, with a solid glue of some sort I presume, tried with a
hammer and chisel and forget it!

What is the way to do this properly and most efficiently?

The size of the kitchen is about 15 ft x 15 ft and the tiles are largish,
about 1 ft x 1 ft.

Thanks.

Rent  about a 35 LBS demo hammer with a 3" chisel bit or two,  if you have
grinder try to keep them sharp belt sander will work. I would wear a face
shield. ear plugs. When I tore my tile out I put a old beach over the area I
was working to catch the tile chips flying. It's one of those jobs you wish
you never started, your going to hating life

once tile is up replace sub floor, its the only way you will want to
use concrete board.

if the floor under the tile is cement keep going you had a mud job, it
cant be reused go right thru to sub floor, and remove

.
