A homeowners Nightmare

What happens here

Once the pool structure is mostly dismantled, a ramp is created using existing soil to allow the CTL access into the deep end. The demolition debris (such as metal and concrete pieces) that was removed from the pool perimeter is temporarily piled. The video emphasizes that only the vermiculite layer (a lightweight, porous material often used as a base under pool liners) can remain in the pool, provided it is punctured to allow water drainage. All other man-made materials and larger concrete pieces are hauled away, making them available for recycling.

Goal: Build a ramp for heavy equipment access into the pool, separating and removing all demolition debris except the punctured vermiculite layer.

Tools and materials

  • Compact Track Loader (CTL)
  • Vermiculite Layer

What they say

thought you were getting, then you better fire them because just because they're doing it doesn't mean it's right. I had gotten Well, I didn't get hired. I did not get hired to demolish a house and a swimming pool by a contractor that had hired me to do all of the other work on all of his other sites. And a couple months went by and he called me up. He was furious with me. He's like, "Stan, do you remember that house and that swimming pool you were supposed to demolish and remove? Well, you buried the swimming pool and left me a hazardous sight, and now the city has completely shut down all of my projects." And this guy was so furious. I felt like he was spitting on me right through the phone. And I let him go off for a while because I hadn't done the job for him. And I said, "Hey, do you remember that was the one job you didn't hire me for?" And what that taught me was what my competition is doing. And I learned by starting to watch between the lines that a lot of times what you homeowners are thinking you're getting and what contractors are actually giving you aren't the same thing. Just buy or beware. Don't let people bury things in your backyard like that because it can set you up for failure down the road. Guys, I'm going to jump in here because over the years, if you found value out of my channel and learned anything and ever wondered how you could support us back, there's now finally a way, and it's by buying whatever you need from the dirt monkeyshop.com. You know, over the years, I've traveled the country and gone and tra attended all these trade shows. Finding all of these cool products, and one thing stood out to me is there's a whole world full of great inventors out there, but that doesn't mean a great inventor is a good marketer. They're great at building something really cool that people may want, but they have no clue how to get the word out. So why we created a hub at the Dirt Monkey shop where I all the cool stuff I find is in one location. So when you guys go over there, you can start browsing and seeing all of these things. But I didn't stop there because everything that's on the Dirt Monkey shop, I have physically walked up to the inventor. I've looked them in the eye and I've shaken their hand. I know the people that are in the shop. And the reason I point this out very particularly is because there's a new trend of online fraud happening and it's exploded. Just within the last week alone on just one of our videos, we had it stolen 27…
