In preparation of pavers around the pool deck, I had to remove a tree trunk fron a tree I removed last year. Why do people plant trees near structures?
The challenge was not only the wall, but the roots were near the pool return lines.
It was going well until I jack hammered into one of the three return lines causing a flood and total disaster.
I spent a weekend digging around the trunk to expose the roots and then Matt came over yesterday and we spent the day getting that thing out. What a nightmare, but after a few hours with a sawzall, chainsaw, jack hammer, axes, and pry bar, we got it out.
The damaged pipe caused a major loss of water, so I just drained the pool as we intend to repaint it again this year. We used 7 gallons last year and it looked spectacular for a few months.
I just finished power spraying it and this is what it looks like a year later.
