Firstly we used a pump to drain the water. Peter assured me that there were no chemicals left as he hadn't put any in for a while so we poured it onto the garden. I few days later I noticed everthing turning a nice yellow. It was then he realised maybe the ph level in the water was probably still too high. My poor little lemon tree has almost no leaves left on it either. I am not impressed.
Lucy has always loved to sunbake on the decking and is not happy now it has all been removed. Bella was just grateful to finally get to explore what was underneath. 
With the decking removal complete it was time for the lining to be removed. We had hoped to try and sell the pool but there was too much corrosion and it couldnt be pulled apart easily.
On Sunday 26th April we had our lunch in the pool before the last bit was demolished.
Next to go were the limestone steps and wall the fence was attached to. They came apart surprisingly easy and Peter was able to salvage them for reuse. 
So this is what we are left with for the moment. Now the fun part of what to do with it. Peter has been busy trying to organise a bobcat to fill in the hole, soakwells for water drainage, patio quotes and we have also been looking at paving bricks. At the moment the dogs love getting in there so they are bringing lots of dirt inside so we have fenced it off again. It will be fun when this lovely weather ends and the rain sets in and it all turns to mud.
