I can tell you exactly what you have found, it is the samething I found out when I was the last to build in the subdividsion. I was sold the lot that was the barrow pit for the roads that where built for the sub and the pit was filled with all the debris from the construction of the sub. All they did was sell me a dump site lot and put 5 foot of crappy back fill and 6 inches top soil on it. I suited the developer that knew about it, allowed it and i won. We reached an agreement on him posting a one million dollar, one hundred year bond against subsidence issues on my house and he also had to come in and remove 4000 cu yds. of muck out, back fill with compackted fill. I just hope this broke him from sucking eggs and doing what should have been done in the first place ! P.S. And the County inspection department let him get by with it !!!! P.S. P.S. What really cinched the case was google earth photos during devlopment of the subdividsion !
This will be your best video series yet Lindsey, especially if you can dig a pond. Great job and great video. Thanks for sharing. Stopped in the middle of Letsdig18 to watch yours.
I know this is your mother-in law', but I've watched you do other projects, and I can tell you are good at what you do and your honest. Stay with it and more projects will come your way. Letsdig18 has the same character and I hope you become as successful as he has.
I can't believe they poured concrete over that garbage. I've poured more concrete than most people walked on and I can tell I would never pour on top that crap. Good for you for doing the right thing and digging out all that garbage.
I'm betting that somebody, way back when, burned the trees and stuff in the ravine before the house was built. I feel sure that ravine used to run farther up towards the front of the lot at one time. I've never seen a pool built like that one. I've demoed probably 10 or 12 of them and have never had one with a concrete bottom in it. All of the ones I've seen had a sand bottom and concrete curtain walls along the sides. That was interesting.
Yeah the ravine ran way up the hill looks like. I just hope the house isn't sitting on that junk. I'm no pool expert but it was interesting how it was built.
No telling what is under the house foundation Lindsey, they might have pushed tree and burying them in a bunch of trenches when they were building the subdivision! Could’ve been an old creek running through there and they covered it up when building the subdivision! Good luck brother and thanks for sharing myself friend! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
MM77 Approved 👍🏼👍🏼…………………………………………………………………………………..Don’t get me wrong, I know it had to be done. 😢 It just saddens me to see perfectly good concrete busted up and buried in a hole! The way I look at it, the more concrete I have, the less grass I have to cut!! LOL It boils down to seat time on the mower or saddle time on a motorcycle 😂😂
@@smithworx1091 😂,nah never, awesome work, man they buried all kinds of stuff under that pool, that's crazy, they definitely didn't care, an on junk topsoil an a burn pile, what the actual heck bro, some people just don't care ya know,
Wow! What a bad situation for your mother in law. Wondering if there's been a previous structure burned and buried in the ravine, before building the house? Not sure if she's got any legal recourse to go after previous owner or builder, but I believe she should look into it. Sorry for her and you, as you have really dug a hole for you both now. Good luck. 👍
Great job man, you plucked out that concrete with precision....too bad about the junk in the bottom, some of these builders know they will be long gone before a problem is discovered.....I guess they either don't know any better, or don't have a conscience, I guess this means your not doing a pond and doing a replacement pool eh?
At least the new pool should have a good foundation, bet you puckered up when backing off of the pool slab for the first time, looked like a pretty rough landing😂
where our garage is at work used to be where the complex used to let tree company dump wood chips. yea 12 ft deep wood chips is plenty to support a 3 bay garage. then wonder why its sinking, the walls are bowing etc
Word of advice go rent you a sheep foot compactor and roll and vibrate the crap out of it in no more than 8 inch lifts sealit off just like a pond Dike also when you going work that dozer heck ain't even gotten the paint wore off of her yet
Where is the rebar? Every pool i demolish in the north east has a ton of rebar in it I just did one last week spent all day jack hammering it into pieces before backfilling with gravel
I asked the same thing. No rebar. I did see some wire, but it all seemed to be at the very bottom or none at all. They definitely took the cheapest route
looks like it was sinking as there is no gravel under the concrete and the dirt that is there is not very compacted and when you started breaking the bottom of the pool i was amazed at how thin the concrete was!
@@smithworx1091 the vinyl liner pools are the hard ones, you cut the first lift to 42”, then jump in a have to carve the deep end hopper to within 2” of specs for the vermiculite…that’s the hard part, but you just use outside tooth on bucket to carve the line, then ramp up to shallow end.
Every time a pool is destroyed it’s hard not to think about all the fun days some family spend around it…. It all comes to an end… kids grow up, parents get old…. Sad, really
@jacobbuckley8232 oh. Well I wanted to make sure I got it far enough in the hole. The new pool is gonna be further back than the old one. I just didn't want to have to dig concrete back out
I'm dumb. I didn't know the gas and cost of a pump that I don't have would cost less than waiting for the pool to drain while I was busy with something else. 🤷🏼♂️ wild
As is normal you can sure tell when a guy doesn't use rebar, or walks it into the ground under the pour. Concrete that thick poured over a good pad done right should have not been that easy to break up. Yet on YT you still see "professionals" pouring crap that way and trying all kinds of ways to justify crappy work! Crappy is crappy no matter how much they try to talk it up! Same with the "There are fibers in the mix"! more BS to justify not doing it right. Most of them should know better as the knowledge is out there. There is no excuse even for a DIYer to do this kind of work. Then putting it over a fill of logs and garbage!
Man what a mess! That dirt under is just trash. That was stupid to build a pool on a burn pile. You should have found hard packed clay. I knew when you broke through the concrete on the shallow end and the dirt was black that something was wrong. Hope you got it all cleaned out and found where the water was cheeping in from. Looks like you're having too cut out the dirt all the way to the gully. And bring in good clay to fill in the hole. Y'all Be Safe Out There Buddy.
@@smithworx1091 we have plants that crush the concrete for use in new concrete. It's about 10 miles from me. As for the rest of it, why don't we all cancel our garbage service and just bury it instead? The whole earth will become a giant landfill then!
@ColeSpolaric yeah we don't have concrete recycling plants. You're crying over burying rock. We shouldn't bury garbage. It should be burned. I bet you'll cry over that, too.
Very inexperienced excavator opperater what a mess concrete plastic timber everything mixed up a good opperater would keep everything separate for disposal and with a brilliant machine in the cat 313. sorry bud whatever about burying concrete wouldn't burying plastic someone else might want to build there in fifty years time.

That's terrible man. I hate that for you. All that from being greedy. County officials should've lost their jobs too.
sounds like the contractor slipped a little green to the county inspector to look the other way
I was looking forward to this demo... not disappointed!⛏
Same here!
Appreciate that! It was fun
The 2 happiest days of pool ownership, the day you put it in and the day you fill it in.
🤣🤣🤣 that's what I hear!
Funny shit right there

It is amazing what you find why you start digging. Good luck on this one. Looks a major undertaking. Stay safe and take care of Jimmy.
Thanks brother. It's definitely more than I was hoping it would be

I was thinking the same thing about that ravine 😮
Wondering if the water by the pool house is draining through more garbage and coming up there.
Good burn brother! 👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Lindsey, I like these kind of videos! You’re doing a great job so far brother, demo my friend! 👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks bro. The fire burned up really nice
That dirt should be hard as a rock if it was packed correctly brother! I know you’ll do it right my friend! 👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Hi buddy. I bet it dident smell like strawberries in the bottom of that pool 😁
Strawberry D 😂
Nope! Maybe rotten strawberries 🤣
No piglet action I see🤣 I hope momma boss is ok after falling! Keep up the good work!
Piglet got worked hard in the next videos. Momma boss is expected to make full recovery 🤣 thanks a lot!
Awesome Job!!
Appreciate it buddy
911! 911! Mom fell in the pool😀. I’m not laughing, well maybe a little 😂😂😂
🤣 we were all laughing after we got her out. You should've heard Karley. She called me crying from laughing so hard

It would've been good for RUclips. Not gonna lie lol
You’re supposed to burn the fiberglass and liner off camera 😁
Lol. My bad
and after dark lol so the black smoke isn't so visible
Like i always tell you brother you got this. Do what you think is right and you will be good.
Thanks Paul! It has turned into a big project lol
WHY would you burn all that plastic and not send it the landfill or to recycle?
WHY wouldn't you burn it?

Any way brother you can adjust your volume while you're in your machine?sounds like your along ways away from your speaker
Yes I will adjust it. Thank you for letting me know. Might be the video after the next one
At least the new pool should have a good foundation, bet you puckered up when backing off of the pool slab for the first time, looked like a pretty rough landing😂
Haha I did. Felt like I dropped 6 feet.
Makes me wonder how that concrete stayed in such good condition with no stone base
It was sinking in several places.
@@smithworx1091makes sense it’s hard too see that good from a video 👍
That's crazy that someone would build on all that junk. Some people just don't care I guess. Nice job.

Is the foundation good on the house?
That is crazy all the fill that was under the pool! Will you need to bring in a sheep’s foot roller?
I bet the house is on the same kind of fill.
Man I'm not sure. I was still hitting junk up past the pool towards the house. I guess she'll know in the years to come
@@brentking-gmailking2570 I’m thinking you’re right.

looks like it was sinking as there is no gravel under the concrete and the dirt that is there is not very compacted and when you started breaking the bottom of the pool i was amazed at how thin the concrete was!
It was all a huge mess.
The more i watch this video your doing the exact same as the previous contractor pushing everything into a hole🤔
Well you need to keep watching. And watch the other videos too.
i think the water is coming from the original stream/ditch they just built the house on top of it..
I sure hope not.
bad dirt seems to line up with that gully, maybe they filled part of that gully in with trash when the built the house
I believe that's exactly what they did
Finally got to use those permafrost teeth 😂 they work good on concrete!
🤣🤣🤣 it'll be a while before sand wears these teeth out. I hate them!
