The (deep) end of the Swimming pool.

In our last blog we were just unearthing the old swimming pool. Many years ago a team of crack Boarders (including our very own Mr. John Loader - Current Housemaster) built this pool. John told me just how thick and tough the base of the pool was.... and the new builders had to bring in the "Heavy" hammer to dent it.










The digger, with it's pneumatic hammer, heads for the deep end!
















With a LOT of
"persuasion" it starts to come to pieces.






















The pool reduced to rubble...

















...and the rubble ready to go.





You'd hardly even know there'd been a pool there!










This boring bit of ground is where the MASSIVE crane is going to stand!








You'll notice the absence of a Mulberry tree.... more of that later.














The electric cupboard is still there! It gives a useful reference to show far down the new building will be compared to the old level.














The electric cable has been sprayed red to avoid nasty electrical death type stuff.














This is the new location of the Mulberry Tree.... or stump as it now is. (according to experts this is the best way to move it??) If it lives it will be a few years before I get to have another Mulberry crumble I fear. :-(
