unless you know someone with land that want to make a pond. you could dig.it for them

What does that even mean?

I can certainly understand why city code wants it demolished. I talked to a friend of mine about this a while back and he said one problem people might think about if you just fill in a pool and let it sit is that it can sort of 'poison' the soil underneath it and start to spread. I have no idea if it's true or not but the example mikec provided gives some credibility.

Also mike, about how much did it cost for you to do all the demo work?

My cost? Without factoring in the need to make a profit? The bobcat was $300 a day, they charged another $200 a day for the jackhammer attachement, took two days with that. Another day with the bobcat, four days total with a laborer at 110 a day, then paying myself 200 a day for four days. Add in four truck loads of dirt at $100 a load, then the permit fee of $50, and there ya go. Pool was a damned big one, probably close to 40,000 gallons.

Next one I do will cost them more, trust me on that.

I think he's trying to say that you could dig someone's pond for them, and then use that dirt to fill in your pool. Hard to tell though. Most of his posts are incomprehensible.

wouldn't it be unmaking pooling? or making ponding?

Because we actually really like our house and location... and it's only been a year since a $20k kitchen remodel lol

As crazy as it sounds we would use the backyard a lot more if we DIDN'T have a pool.

You're doing it wrong? My personal opinion, of course.

We just built ours and did not even get a full summer out of it, but love it.
