What happens here

The driveway, which has accumulated debris during the process, is cleaned using a Makita power broom. This attachment is praised for significantly reducing cleanup time. Meanwhile, the Kubota compact track loader, now fitted with a powerful grapple attachment, begins systematically removing the remaining structural components of the old pool. This includes pulling out the metal pool walls, the tattered blue liner, and the concrete footings buried underneath. All removed materials are carefully sorted into different piles on site, with an emphasis on separating concrete, metal, and plastic for recycling. The concrete footings, described as 'super thick', are a crucial component to remove to ensure proper compaction and prevent future ground instability.

Goal: After cutting, the concrete slabs are moved to a temporary pile, and the driveway is cleaned using a power broom. The Kubota then uses a grapple attachment to efficiently remove pool walls, liner, and concrete footings, sorting them for recycling.

all right we got alex burning up the rest of the dirt over there while he's working on that i'm gonna start getting this driveway cleaned up a little bit more gooder than it is right now we have one more of my more favorite tools makita power broom i will tell you what this thing saves so much time on cleaning up the streets and stuff like that so much time everything gets recycled you guys and it all gets sorted he's pulling everything out he's stacking in different piles look how thick the footing is that he all of these pools have this super thick footing down at the bottom and you got to remove that and that's part that a lot of guys miss but we bring up the pool bottom so that we can have a flat place to work so that we can then dig out those footings without rocking the skid loader back so we sort all of the concrete and you'll see that it all gets brought down and then it actually gets ground up to be reused as base material for future roads so none of this goes to waste even concrete oddly enough is a completely recyclable green material which is pretty cool i don't know if i like cucumber i only have 30 of them to go you'll notice he's very careful as he goes in he sets it down releases the jaws he just doesn't come over the top and drop that's how you puncture about a truck bottom pretty fast the way he's doing it is the right way in set down and release even big pieces let's watch this one go in sometimes the big pieces are easier to get in because you can touch the bottom right they don't they don't eat them they'll either get your phone or they'll hit their vehicles so what alex is doing now is pushing all of the tin and metal out of the way because that will be saved until the very end of the project and after he gets all of the stuff that gets removed sorted and separated then he'll fill the pool back up but before the black dirt goes down he'll haul everything out then bring the black dirt in to do a final dress final dressing on it but that video is going to be coming up right next so make sure that if you guys don't mind hitting that subscribe button um and you'll be able to see it coming out the very next video we'll show you how we wrap one of these up yeah if you guys want to see a little bit more from gracie the african gray just let me know come on god bless you guys go get em and we'll hopefully see you next time
