Power Lever

Trying to lift out an old section of tiled floor on concrete. I want to try to save the tiles before the builder comes back with the kango to wreck it all. See photo.

Trying to lift out an old section of tiled floor on concrete. I want to try to save the tiles before the builder comes back with the kango to wreck it all.

See photo.

I have cut around the piece to a good depth with a con saw. I thought I might be able to lift the whole lot and release it from the sand bed it's sitting on. I have an 8ft crow bar but there is no budging it. I could get a pipe to extend the lever but was wondering if there is another way. No access with heavy machinery. Everything has to come through the house.

Any ideas?

There is no releasing these tiles from the floor. They are butt jointed and bedded in cement. I hope to be able to have the concrete cut away if I can get the whole lot out.
