So moving on, We already have a lot of tile in the house, installed directly onto the concrete pad. How big of a deal is it to remove tile and mortar from concrete? Seems to me that tile over concrete is a pretty rock solid combination. Would it chip right off and leave me a functional surface, or would it be like trying to take the top layer off of the concrete? How strong is the bond between the thinset is my question I guess.
I've removed tile from concrete while not impossible it's a solid bit of work. You can do it but get some big breaker bars with the flat tip to chip and pry them up and you may even consider a grinder to knock the residue of tile and thin set down once the tile is gone. Get ready to work.
