They probably shouldn’t have tried to move it while it was full of water.
Remember: Fill the pool after it’s in the ground.

Remember to use the push tool to push the tree into the chipper.
If my friend, Stumpy, had listened to me, we would still be calling him Edward.

Wood chippers are not to be treated casually. I place them up there with other things that one needs to observe extreme caution around like hydrofluoric acid and great white sharks.
I had excavator delivered last night. Alarm set for 6:45am. Big day ahead. My phone rings at 4am. Get called to go into work. lol. Work until 1pm. Get home. Set up my new 4k time lapse camera. Start digging. Takes me 6 hours to dig pool. Excited to see time lapse. Used wrong usb cable, battery died after 1 hour. I get 10 seconds of time lapse of me taking the grass and top soil off. lol.
So I have 16" of top soil. Which is weird for a 10 year old subdivision to begin with. Then 24" of sub soil. Followed by granular A, concrete, bricks, lumber, shingles etc...... Nightmare. Had to go 4" deeper in shallow end to get lumber out.
I've had better days.

Oh Chris! OUCH for so many reasons!! The never ending nightmare for sure!
So do you think you got all of the junk up and out? I bet the air was BLUE with adult words when you saw the first piece of junk
I hope you have used up all of your bad luck with all of this!

I haven't jumped down in the hole yet. I'm sure there is more junk hiding. I do see a steel t post sticking out of the sidewall. if I can't pull it out I will cut it off.
Just weird to see construction garbage that deep. Then your natural layer of sub soil and top soil above.

Someone went to a lot to time, trouble, diesel to get it down there for sure! Will you have enough dirt to fill it back in as needed? Are you to have to pay to haul the junk off?

I think he was piling up the tree branches.
100% of excavated soil gets sent to a dump site. None of it will be used as backfill. I work for an earth moving company. I will get probably 3 x 20 yard bins put at the road and load them with a skid steer. My dirt pile is over 10' high.

Okay so you work for a earth moving company...........WHY did they call you at 4 in the morning to come into work???????? What was more important than you working on your pool??? LOL

You'd know better than me, but just wondering if a chunk of geotec and 8" of road base crossed your mind, or was that crud pretty hard?
No, I don't know better than you. lol
The stuff at the bottom of the excavation is just like road base.
Geotec, you mean fabric? Yes there will be fabric, then 6" of high performance bedding. Then pool.

Good stuff, yep, just wasn't sure of the method and good to hear I just got worried when I heard about the dumped stuff down there.

Snow moving WOULD be more important than digging your pool! The job does help pay for the pool as well.
