The starting point. I'd already started drawing the water level down to drain the soil that I was going to dig into.

The saw that I used to cut and the first cut into the concrete
Date: 06/08/2007
The pool most of the way drawn down for the work
Date: 06/08/2007
Below the light
Date: 06/08/2007
The light, you can see the dirt that has come back in from behind the light.

Water draining out from the dirt behind the light case
Date: 06/08/2007
More water from behind the light

The nasty mess that of the concrete dust drying on the remaining sidewalk
Date: 06/08/2007
Opening up the first hole
Date: 06/08/2007
The hole should be much bigger by now, but this is 4 inch thick concrete
Date: 06/08/2007
Opening up more of the concrete
Date: 06/08/2007
Most of the concrete is shattered here but the front part remains elusive. I was being careful up there to make sure not to dam

The hole in the dirt to get down to the backside of the light enclosure. The pipe is the wires coming in from the switch behind

Stella checks out the dig.

Stella Gaurds the hole
Date: 06/09/2007
Stella always did like water, not sure if she knew what was on the other side.
Date: 06/09/2007
The extra dirt in the containers close to the hole to refil
Date: 06/10/2007
A whole wheelbarrow full of dirt also
Date: 06/10/2007
Water backfilling into the hole.
Date: 06/10/2007
The hole refilled with concrete
Date: 06/12/2007
Not a bad job for a one man crew hand mixing bags.
Date: 06/12/2007
The waterfall out of the filter box to refill the pool
Date: 06/10/2007
You can see the water better here.
Date: 06/10/2007
A ton of Chlorine disolving to bring the water level back up
Date: 06/10/2007
The water level finally hit a high enough point to get the pump started back up and start filtering out this mess.
Date: 06/10/2007
This is the dirty mess aspect of it.
