Go to www.oklahomacurbcut.com 405-292-6262. They are in Norman, just outside of OK City, about 140 miles away. I doubt you'll find anyone closer that actually cuts concrete as a buisness. Ask for Brian. You'll need to have some photos ready to fax to him, make sure you let him know how wide the entry is so he can bring the correct saw.

...

You'll no doubt pay for travel time and mileage but at this point in time getting it done professionally is going to be worth paying for it. Tell Russ thanks but no thanks and call in the pro's.

Wow, Thanks Karen!

I will give them a call. I really didn't expect anyone would have suggestions on someone who I might call about this. I'd been looking around out here for a professional concrete cutter, but hadn't found one yet.

Nope won't work, if you can't find a saw that cuts deep enough make a second cut next to it a 1/2"-3/4" apart and get a electric demo hammer to break out that and then final bit of concrete inside the bottom of that area and then you'd know you are through the floor.

I think if you are paying the guy or have paid the guy to do the work. He should do the job exactly the way you have instructed him to.

Hey Stan, in all fairness to Russ, he really is a good carpenter. He's not a concrete guy, and I think dealing with this is new to him. He sub-contracted out the pour of the foundation, and the sub let him down. He hasn't charged me anything else for numerous attempts at fixing the various issues caused by the bad job the concrete guy did.

I think at this point he just wants to get this done, and maybe pride keeps him from admitting that I need to call in an expert. He doesn't like to give up, I can tell you that. He is also a little stubborn. (I suppose part of the problem is that people tell me I'm too nice for my own good. I never really understood what they meant by that, but I think I kinda do now! )

I'm with Karen. At this point, whatever it costs to get the pros in, it's likely a small percentage of your total investment.

You are right, Hubert.

I'll let y'all know what I discover. Sorry this hasn't had a happy ending yet. I took a week of vacation this week, hoping to put my obs. back together and see some stars, so yeah, I am pretty frustrated now.
