Take off the rails:
Fold up the liner as best we could.
Pull the siding down. Kev did a lot of it, but he had an assist from Mister Wind Gusts.
Pull the siding and the liner out of the way. See those posts? They're connected to each other side-to-side by a 1/8" (or so) steel plate / L-bracket that goes under each post - and under the sand (and therefore the pool). Each one is also connected to the one directly across the pool from it by a 1/4" (or so) steel BAND that runs entirely under the pool. And the sand. And some clay. I don't think it needs to be said that THOSE were a pain in the butt to get out.
After the removal. Pool all gone!
Closer - North side:
And south side. Yes, we did keep the pool ladder as another method of accessing the deck. Deck retention is still in discussion, but we're planning on keeping at least some of it.
The yard sure looks different now. Jeremy's enjoying it, since he has SO much more room to run & play in. Plus, we have more opportunities to throw his ball up on the deck, over the deck, under the deck, etc. rather than just around the north side of the pool or around the south side of the pool.
