Hertz tool rentals has concrete saws for rent=they simply require you leave a open check or put it on a credit card. And Handy Andy also on Aurora 96'th.0r 98th.N in there somewhere. Handy Andy's tools are older but their prices are right. And there is a Hertz Tool rental on Leary way not too far down from Fred Myers on Leary.

The concrete saw is the way to go.
they will tell you how to operate it at the tool rental store. Also Home Depot tool rentals rents concrete saws. HD is on Aurora too a little further N. from Handy Andy tool rentals.

It most likely won't cost more than $40.00 or $50.00 or so to rent the saw for 4 hours.And you won't risk cracking the concrete that way- the other thing about breaking concrete is chasing cracks- Although it was years ago for me when learning forms and foundations-it is easy to bust concrete-but chasing cracks and fixing the damage is a royal pain in the butt.

Get over to Handy Andy tool rentals on Aurora- they sell concrete by the yard- they mix it there and provide the means to haul it. Talk to one of the guys at Handy Andy that knows concrete.

i have never tried a skillsaw with a diamond blade on concrete cuts myself- but guys I know that have say stay away from that-or don't do it. -1. is you burn out the skill saw ! and the other is - iI won't go into that ! I have used a diamond blade on a grinder to clean out cracks that formed as a result of using the sledge hammer. ! The concrete contractor I worked for at that time who was teaching me foundations went out and bought himself a concrete saw after that mess. !
