    👍🏽at the very least you definitely want to pump out the water and still compact everything in lifts if your not liable for hauling out the debris

      Hey Patrick,
      I really learned a lesson with draining water on this one. Definitely do a better next time. Yes I do the best I can compacting every 12 inches but I also am cautious of cutting my tracks on concrete and rebar. Nasty combination. Thanks so much for the comment.

      @@Mr.Digger Yes, indeed, our work is not easy ... But we have been engaged in this activity for more than 14 years. We have experience, we dismantle the house in one day with the removal of the resulting garbage. We also find interesting things at dismantling sites and sell them at online auctions. Additionally, we earn money from this. There are very good things that we give a second life!
      Good luck in your business and endeavors.

    Lesson1/ Bring a hook and chain to pull big items out of the ground.
    Lesson 2/ plan to take scrap metal, cable, etc off site and sell it. Extra cash stream.

    Once you get confident enough on slopes just climb on into the pool and pull inward. So far so good brother.

      @Mr.Digger  Рік тому +1

      Hey Raymundo, I have tried doing your suggestion, but I was extremely concerned about doing damage to my tracks with the concrete. Concrete and rebar have put really deep cuts in my rubber tracks-when I was a newbie. I try to avoid driving over it as much as I can. On a wider pool, maybe. Thanks so much for your input.

    • @raymundo7687
      @raymundo7687 Рік тому +1

      Yeah rocks, concrete and rebar is hell on tracks I agree. We have two identical machines but only one does demo. The difference in everything is substantial as far as tracks and sloppiness. Tracks and new sprockets are always factored into the bid. A few thousand hours of hard use nets way more than a 4k undercarriage refresh. Happy digging brother

      Hey Juan, thanks for commenting. My proposal for this project is $7800. I had to take down and put a part of a fence and also 4 loads of fill dirt the rest with all labor -excavator time.
      Subscribe in soon I will be posting access to more of my pricing if that would help you out

    Your lucky the side did not cave in and your machine tipped into the pool. There is NO support under a pool deck in most cases. Lucky this one did.

      They tend to backfill those pools with sand. When it settles it can be a little sketchy.

      I know right. But we can bury noncombustible’s and it saves the owners money. They make the final call. Thank you so much for your comment. Always love hearing from you guys.

    I can't believe that the inspector didn't require you to remove the top 3 foot of cement ( good clean dirt only for the first 3 foot )
    and poke more drainage hole in the bottom. I believe that I would take this video down.

      Hi PopaTop,
      no inspections required around here. 24 inches is kind of the number we shoot for and we fill the last 12 inches with topsoil. Most people just come back with sod or seeded lawn
