Problem pond: Help with construction, please
The previous owners of our house built an absolutely stunning example
of a horrible pond - it would lose around 40 gallons a day to leaks. We decided to destroy and replace it, and we would have succeeded too - had it not been for the fact that the bottom of the pond was built with reinforced concrete and a clay bottom. The underliner was about as thin as a trashbag - it would flake off in a high wind. How can I remove this reinforced concrete, and excavate the clay underneath the pond? I've tried a 12 pound sledgehammer, crowbar, and a large pickaxe. All I've succeeded in doing is pulverising it. The only thing that seems to cut into the clay is the pickaxe, so I'm in the dark as to how I would remove that as well. I'll update this topic with pictures of my progress if the need arises. |
