I did my ex father in laws. 16x32 back in '99 but I did it a bit different. I had to do everything by hand. I dug down 2ft all the way around it until I hit the concrete footer used to hold the walls in, rented an electric jackhammer and once that was out I cut the A frame braces, unbolted each wall and carefully removed it. They wasn't rusted at all. Been in since 1981, but I then put half of it back together built a room in my basement and installed it there. Instated of vinyl liner I took my chopper gun and 25 gal of vinyl ester resin and made a fiberglass shell for it. Wouldn't give it up for nothing. Use it daily.

Keep the videos coming and the tracks in the dirt : ) Any other way of getting in touch with you ? Got an idea you may want to float... All best. John

Sorry to hear that jasoncushersee! If the material buried under your 8" slab had been concrete, brick or broken block waste, and it were buried in layers along with tamping the layers as done, the 8" concrete should never have have been a problem. - - - I guess you know that now. Organic waste will ALWAYS settle some. - - - Chris/letsdig18 does not do that kind of work. Knowledge if crucial! Good Work ethic is priceless! Integrity is hard to come by!
