Homeowner shocked when pool pops out of ground

LESLIE, GA (WALB) -
So much ground water built up in a back yard in Leslie, it pushed a decades-old pool right out of the ground.

A 20-foot by 60-foot cement pool that used be in the ground behind Earl Kendrick's East Allen Street home is now tilted out of the ground.

This is a lot more common occurrence than one may think. Over the years looking at beat down properties for sale or talking to people in my business, there are always home owners who buy a house with an in ground pool and drain it thinking they will fix this and that and then crack the hell out of it or have it go a kilter like this dudes pool. There are a lot of forces underneath that concrete or fiberglass that wants to push that thing out of the ground without water in it. Pools in general are a pain in the ass and in grounds are 10X worse. As a pool owner, I tell people to avoid them at all costs.

Pool with no water equals boat. Can't fix stupid. Around here you never drain them more than halfway even for Winter.

What?

You may come upon my body in a ditch but by God I will be laying in a pile of brass.

True, I owned a house with a pool once, and decided it was a hole in the ground you threw money away on. But yes enough water and they will float.

I am not a republican I am a conservative, and supporter of the rule of law. And if you do not like that too bad.
