I agree with you - and so would any cop that stopped a load like that. I don't have the book with me, but it seems to me that you need to have chains whose rating exceeds the load times two, or somet

One way that is relatively simple is to buy a left hand drill bit that is about half the size of the hole, center punch the old bolts, and drill away. It is important that you keep the bit centered,

Unless your place is a lot different than mine, the problem isn't removing the grout - it is keeping it in place. :-) It should come away fairly easily. They sell tools at HD/Lowes/etc. for that job.
