Installed shell as sunroom being built, so no problem getting it inside. All support equipment in garage, shell was carried in by two guys so it's not the weight but now that sunroom built no way to carry it out.

After all plumbing connections are cut and circuit breaker turned off it'll need to be broken up. What tool would be best? Thinking maybe a Sawzall but not sure.

Any recommendations welcomed!

We had one removed from a deck and I think the guy used a carbide tipped skill saw mostly.

Most important tool is a respirator. You don't want to breath any of that stuff.

Maybe a sawzall with a demo blade...

Roger, if you need someone to haul the pieces off let me know. I have a buddy that has super reasonable rates for hauling junk.

Wear a respirator, not one of those stupid dust masks. Wear a double filter type.
Also wear some safety goggles.

Taken many tubs/showers out. Sawzall will go right through it. As mentioned, don’t forget your PPE.

I have cut up quite a few boats for disposal. My favorites tools are a skilsaw and right angle grinder with diamond blades. Small kerf means less dust.

I demo'd a fiberglass shower two weeks ago . Nothing better than a Sawzall for that kind of work . A GOOD dustmask and eye protection at a minimum . You'll be amazed at how quick it goes .

Yep. Sawzall (aka "reciprocating saw"). I've removed and chopped up several fiberglass tub/shower inserts over the years using that.

Forgot to add, I’d wear a tyvek suit with a hood also. I hate fiberglass cutting…

Or clothes you don't want to wear again.

Yep. Full suit, disposable booties, gloves tape everything closed. Respirator toss filters.

I have a terrible reaction to fiberglass dust, even using angle grinder and cutoff wheels on steel and iron, the dust will make me itch for a week. Tried the "baby powder dusting" used duct tape and nearly pulled every hair off my body.

The only thing is to avoid the job, or "gear up MOPP IV".

Was a glass man for one of the leading fiberglass tank Mfg in the US for years and it ain't fun and nothing stops the itching but a day at the lake.
I would use a saws all to cut. If conditions allow a little stream of water might knock the dust down.
If water won't work try a shop vac. What ever dust you can trap will make clean-up a little easier.
You can suit up but whatever you us is only good for one dressing as you'll end up with dust at the wrist, neck and waist.
You will regret using a cutting blade/grinder if that's the rout you have to use.
The sawzall will be the least dusty.

Like everyone else is saying a sawzall with a respirator, but for shits and giggles I was playing with my plasma cutter once and it actually worked on a fiber glass basketball hoop backer board. So there’s that too..

Tannerite? Abandoned gravel pit?

Cut fiberglass edges are sharp

How did you complete the circuit on fiber glass?

Hire someone else to do it. Cheap at whatever cost.
