I just fill in my pool and I jackhammered (all day) about 5 yds of concrete that I tossed into the hole before I started backfilling. -ED

Thanks,
I think that is probably what SHOULD have been done, but this is pretty much a hack job.
An opportunity to bury junk, no attention to packing it down every so many inches of lift, just get tailings hauled in and shove 'em over the side, then get it more or less level, get paid and get out.
Hind sight, I know, but if the shallow end had been filled first with the broken up apron they would have had something to drive on to actually CARRY the fill to the deep end... and build it up to level with constant driving over it.
Right now the tailings are wet and it is like driving around in clay soup.
I might take the tractor down there in a couple of days if things dry out and they don't get too impatient and "finish" it.
tnx,
\R
