Inground Pool Phase 1

[Timber]

The 1st thing I have to do is take down my above ground pool





I cut the center supports completely out, I use a floor jack to hold the wt. so I didn't pinch my chainsaw bar. The I went around the perimeter supports and cut the 3/4 through top and bottom. Chained up to the tractor and away I went.

the next step is to dig out all the sand under the in ground pool, I want to save it because I will reuse it under the liner I will use for my Coi pond



My wife hasn't quite got the hang of a digital camera yet. that one is a little fuzzy

Now I am going to continue with the last posts that I left out so I could drag the deck through and dig the bottom sand out and pile it out of the way







Dam thats all for today, its starting to rain, so time to put everything away

Timber,
That shevel by the deck is looking like it is getting rusted. I bet it doesnt get the use that it did to before the B7800. I think that it is getting alittle upset with the tractor. You better not store them together, you never know what may happen!!
Projects are looking good. It is funny how they are more fun to do with the tractor.

LOL they are a lot of fun. I have been having a great time with my tractor, I don't know how I would manage my property without it

We had a little bit of a set back, Seems the contractor or the building inspecter did the wrong permit and now it has to go through the conservation commity for a hearing because I have wet lands. It is not going to be a problem but more of a formality. It is actualy working out for me as I am getting more done than I expected

This area is above the pool and the contractor wanted to raise the pool 2 feet out of the ground and build up the area with the soil that came out of the hole. Now I want to pool to sit flush with the landscape I don't really want a raised pool. So I dug all this soil out so it doesn’t run off into the pool

Well now the tractor has done its part. I have removed most of the material and now have a nice pile of rich soil that I need. Now the rest has to be done with a spade, square shovel and several different rakes! The tractor can't do every thing
