What happens here

The old, damaged vinyl pool liner, which has become highly brittle and dirty with accumulated sludge, is removed from the pool basin. An excavator is initially used to grab and pull large sections of the liner. Due to its deteriorated state, the liner rips and tears into many pieces, necessitating manual assistance to completely extract it from the pool structure. Workers pull and separate the liner from the pool walls and the underlying foam padding, collecting all fragments for disposal.

Goal: Completely remove the old and brittle vinyl liner from the swimming pool.

Tools and materials

Bobcat 325 Mini Excavator Bobcat — Grabbing and pulling large sections of the liner, assisting with removal
Work Gloves — Protecting hands from dirt, debris, and potential sharp edges
Old Vinyl Pool Liner — The primary component being removed from the pool, requiring disposal

to have to get paid on it. That signature locks your customers in place. That signature keeps them to their word. It clarifies the understanding that you're going to charge this amount, whether it's a time of material or a lump sum, and that they agree to pay it. They then are locked into place. It protects you and it keeps everything above board. Let's go through this project. Let's show you what happened. To me, it was a $200 lesson, but more important, it gives me something to share with you. So, hopefully it doesn't happen to you guys and gals out there. It actually will. Trust me, this will happen. But that signature, ink, like I said, ink is cheap. That signature will save you a lot of hassle. So, check this out. So, what's happening with this liner? It's been just neglected for so long. It's just so old that it's very brittle and it's falling apart. It's what we call going fishing. What Johnny's doing is he's pulling the liner out as big a chunks as possible. The liner itself is ripping, tearing, and shredding. So, instead of coming out in one piece, looks like this one's coming out in about 17 pieces. Drew's
