Man I hope you're right. I knew right off that I would have to cut it then break it out. I don't mind the work considering the money I will save, That is why i did my own in ground pool. too much labor cost.

The thing is I can take my time, I have till spring once the ground freezes. I am pretty sure the ground don't freeze that deep my basement is probably 8ft deep What does it freeze maybe 16 inches deep?
so shoveling out the dirt should not be real bad.
The real work will be removing all of the material from the basement.
