Pic of our dig

I have both blasted and broke many jobs putting in pipe, it is a slow process (not that I minded), and makes the entire job that much harder. Another fun thing, generally breaking rock makes a void for water to fill into. You would want a wellpoint or two put in next to the pool in case something comes up in the future.

The neighbor used a lot of it to build a road and for fill. I am hoping he will move the rest of the plain dirt to level his yard. He is building a new house.

What is a wellpoint?

[matt4x4]

A wellpoint is a vertical pipe reaching to the area under your pool (preferrably gravel) into which you can push a garden hose to the bottom of the pipe, then use a pump on the garden hose to pump out any water that could exert hydrostatic pressure on your pool. If you ever need to lower your water level for a repair or something, this comes in really handy.

Thanks MAtt. I learn something new everyday.
