Pumped the water out of my swimming pool for the last time yesterday. This is a Clark pool bought by my parents in 1967 and it has been in constant use for 50 years. Pretty good effort with 3 new liners in that time. The current liner has been in for 18 years and I figured it was getting to the end of its life. I did think of filling the hole in with grass clippings but nobody thought that was a good idea so now I am just going to put a deck over it

Good spot for a mass grave? For dead mower frames of course!

Hi NormK, Just thinking mate, you could square up the hole, line it in Besser blocks, cover it with the deck...put in a trap door and stairs....you've got yourself a great wine cellar!!  Darryl

Thanks Deejay but already have a cool room under the house. The pool hole already has Besser brick walls around it but being only 4 feet deep would be a bit hard on my back crawling around under there to stack the wine bottles. Anyway I am going to hook up 40 x 200 litre drums under there and it can be used for the garden water.

I have now got a solution for the big pile I have of B&S and Chonda motors, drain the oil and in they can go, could have dumped the countless number of MTD bases I have been taking to the tip over the last month or so in there as well. Over time I had all these MTD's that came in job lots and I just kept pushing them aside in one area waiting for a rainy day. Well that happened and I spent a couple of days checking the motors and stripping the bases. Wheels usually good, often like new, base good but useless because they are a big bulky mower fitted with a little Briggs motor and never get one with a catcher for some reason. And MF before you ask, yes I can fit the MTD wheels on the Victas but it means I have to cut the axle stubs off the Victa and then weld a nut on so that I can bolt the MTD wheels on. It can be done and it all takes time but at least it means another Victa is brought back to life with good quality MTD wheels
