Do we Fire him?

What happens here

With the majority of the concrete removed, the focus shifts to clearing any remaining buried utilities and refining the subgrade of the pool basin. A worker manually cuts existing PVC lines that were part of the pool's plumbing system. This is done carefully with a saw to ensure controlled disconnection, preventing them from being pulled further down the line or creating new problems. The excavator also works to remove any lingering concrete fragments or other debris from the pool bottom, ensuring a clean and consistent base for the backfill material.

Goal: Remove all remaining utilities and debris from the pool basin.

What they say

Hide

one of the things we don't do is leave anything behind everything comes out of the pool bottom some of the lines are easier to actually cut and remove by hand than just yank with the excavator what happens with those plastic pvc lines is sometimes you can pull so hard that you pull it in a place that you don't want it to disconnect so we do controlled cuts instead
