I also had to punch through one of the shallow end walls. This was the first time I have run a hammer and it took 10 hours of seat time. The pool was between 6in and 18in thick, with plenty of rebar. I paid someone else to hammer out the upper half after I had removed all the concrete and filled and compacted the lower half with soil. The guy I hired tried to use a 753 with a 350lb hammer and it didn't break very well compared to the set-up I had used. This guy took about another 10 hours to hammer out the rest.</p></blockquote><p></p>
