    Watching that roller compactor smooth fill soil is so satisfying to see

    For finish grading, carry a 10-12-foot 6x6 timber with the excavator. Its super cheap, easy to pick up, put down, and set local grades/contours. You can get really close to finished, especially if you're installing screened topsoil. I would never sleep knowing that pile of concrete was buried in my yard.

      Thank you, it protects the seed from birds and it also helps germinate the grass.

    Do you have to let the village know about the demolition, after every is done do you have to handle them a receipt 🧾 or something, what the material you most take away from the pool, I see you used all the concrete as filler, but after that did have filled it up with soil or gravel, thank you nice work!

    There are only 2 happy days with a pool. The first day you jump in and the other day is when you remove it.

    could you build a structure on top of that like an outbuilding cottage, wouldnt it sink where the pool used to be ? especially if you are building a brick structure

    • @srmcontracting

      The ground was compacted in lifts so there shouldn't be anyway settlement. But if they wanted to build something right away then we would have used structural fill to be on the safe side.

    How did you figure out exactly how much fill you need?

    • @srmcontracting
      @srmcontracting  16 днів тому

      Length X width X depth then divide by 27. This will give you cubic yards.

      It's rated for 10k but it has dumped as much as 14k. Wet dirt is tough to estimate sometimes.

    I take it you are allowed to secure to the outer rub rail on the trailer for securing equipment where you live?. DOT will pull you over for that where I live. It's good practice to have everything behind the rub rail. Hope this helps.

    You should have extensively perforated the pool floor for drainage, that area will now stay soggy with stagnant unmoving water.

      It may not have been apparent in the video but I broke up the vermiculite bottom as we went. Vermiculite crumbles very easy.

      We are doing one with ground water. The water table is at 7ft right on Chesapeake bay. We using the concrete deck and fill. We cant stop the water so using alot of stone too and tamping... what else can we do?

    • @PoolTecCanada

      @@irmadupr - To properly add broken deck concrete to the fill you need to make a layer of HPB, or 3/4 clear, then add the concrete so it lays onto the stone, then add another layer of aggregate and then more deck concrete, this way you don't get large cavities. So long as you've perforated the bottom of the pool extensively just fill as stated above, the water level is the water level, not much you can do about that. You've done your job by creating a solid ground base.
