Now that I know there is a gas line over head then I suggest you use dynamite. You can smooth out the ruff parts after the blast.

I could probably swing a heavier sledge if I were driving something down into the ground, like a fence post. However, swinging the sledge at head height against a wall, while trying not to hit the gas line over head, or my hand, and trying to hold a chisel in place and keep it from slipping off and plunging it into my chest with each hammer blow, has been a challenge. *GRIN* -- Blue skies.

RE: [BlindHandyMan] Defrosting a chest freezer
One other thing to remember is to unplug the freezer before you start. If you don't, it takes forever to get all the ice build up out. Trust me on that.

RE: [BlindHandyMan] Power Planer
Man, what a witch of a job! I have a straight blade power plane. It does work very well - but - care MUST be used with it. I would be very concerned about the blade shattering some of the old wood should you accidently go cross grain with it (as when one gets to a corner) I have seen this thing do those sort of things. It is the very berries for planing off the rough side of a 2x4 or making that 2x2 fit where the replacement support for your water bed croke. If you happen to use it on the edge of plywood or such you really do need to be sure to hit the end (both) backwards or it will splinter the edge. I have never seen the spiral type but would be interested in it. I will also tell you that that blamed power plane is the only piece of wood working equipment I have ever been hurt by. IT will plane the ends of your fingers before you can say Jack Robinson. (LOL) After you release the power button you blamed well need to wait until you hear the motor wind down otherwise have your wife standing by with band aids and gauze. (LOL) I was so very careful to keep my fingers out of the way as I traced down the 2x4 but, like a real dummy, let my fingers lap over the end of the plane after I released the power button. (not once, but twice) Anyway, good luck. (ever thought about shimming up the frame to match the window trims?)

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Defrosting a chest freezer
Once you have the ice off your freezer, wipe the surfaces with glycerine. The next time you defrost, those sheets of ice will just push off. No need to wait for yonks for thawing.
