Inspectorjoe 471 #1 Posted October 17, 2022 Since the time spent maintaining our pool was becoming much greater than the time spent actually using it, we decided to abandon it. I've been afraid to get estimates on removal, but eventually I'll have to bite the bullet. Since backyard skinny dipping is now a thing of the past, we no longer need the Leyland Cypresses that used to give us privacy (before I let them get out of control), or the 'temporary' fabric fence I put up about 10 years ago to fill in the gaps in the hedge, so I'm cutting down the Leyland Cypresses and using the pool as a burn pit. The last time I burned, the flames got high enough to get close to some dead branches hanging over the pool, so I decided to cut them back. Putting a ladder on the fence put quite a bit of stress on it. Wheel Horse to the rescue! It's always been versatile, but until now, anchor was not on its resume. anchored to the Horse, the fence was solid as a rock. Job well done. 10 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
