I'm removing my gunite swimming pool, and have already dug a ramp from the outside to the shallow end of the pool. All I need now is for someone with a hammer to punch through the wall and break up the bottom/lower-half of the pool. I'll remove all the concrete once it's broken up. How much time should someone with an excavator or skid steer with a hammer take to punch through the wall, and hammer up the entire bottom of the pool? ("bottom" means everything lower than 4 feet from the top of the pool) I'm guessing from a few hours to a full day. Also how much would someone normally charge for one day of hammer work, assuming they supply the equipment? The reason I'm not hammering it myself is that I don't have a hammer, and don't want to have to rent one and then learn while I'm on the clock. A skilled operator can probably do it much faster than me.
