Our 1950 ranch slab home has these two planter boxes on the sides of out fireplace. We would like to remove them. They are not original to the house and it's hard to say when they were added. The walls are about 5" thick and the base is about 2" and appear to be solid concrete. I know it a lot of pounding and chiseling, but my big concern is the base. Original to the house is tile on top of the slab. I can not tell if the planter boxed are on top of the tile on pored on top of the slab. So what could happen when I try to move the base, is it posable it could crack or damage the slab. I plan to go slow and use hand tools. I welcome any advice.
Thank You
