Thanks everyone! We got the old one down and parts piled up. Tim is going to cut the walls into smaller piece to ease of handling. He only got one small cut so far so at least that is going good. We will throw it away a piece at a time. I am going to check to see if the scrap yard will take the walls. Even if they don't pay us much if anything at least we will not have to pay the dump so that would be a win.
We are going to stick with the above ground pool. Brian offered to design a pool for me a while back. Tim and I thought long and hard about it but decided to stick with the above ground pool for many reason.
It does need to be 33' as that is what the deck is built to. The deck goes around 3/4 of the pool.
@cowboycasey I have that pool bookmarked. I do want to pick your brain though........what made you pick that one. What words said this should be the one? Our old pool had all resin except the walls...............it was the wall that gave out. You are correct in that the seam area was rusted and that is right were it gave way. You can see in one pic where it is a "clean" line from the bottom up until right at the top where the force of the water tore the rest out.
GUzzy you sure can give me my own set of links LOL
Dude you know I know where my tape measure is! We will be doing as much of the base work as we can when it comes time. For right now we are leaving the old liner down on it to protect the base from rain and critters.
