And we're done! 1'15" with the jackhammer, and that includes a second boulder I threw in since it went so "easily." I quote that because using the jackhammer is still work, but it's more management than strength. I actually enjoyed doing it.

Total cost: $43 + gas = ~$45.

I'm not sure what I'd do next time. I might try the feathers and wedges to play with some classic tools, but they're not readily available in multi-packs (the Home Depot link above is $25 EACH, and I would've needed a few).

I might look into the non-explosive, but there are a lot of unsatisfied users, it's $40, and I'd still need to drill...and wait.

Ultimately, I was in the "get 'er done" place today, so the JH worked perfectly (oh, and it only rained during the ride).

Finished an hour after my rule, but it's done and now I've earned a Pop's seafood platter!

Thanks for all the suggestions, friends!
