What happens here

The contractor explains their demolition sequence: remove sidewalls, vinyl liner, and 'toads' (wooden supports) from the bottom. The skid-steer loader, equipped with a 'beak' or grapple attachment, is then used to efficiently demolish and gather the remaining pool walls. A worker inside the pool assists by manually tossing out specific pieces of wood. The contractor emphasizes that the bottom material is left in place to be broken down into a 'powder' later, and highlights the effectiveness of the 'beak' attachment for this work.

Goal: Systematically remove all pool components except the bottom layer.
