When we were removing the above-ground pool from our backyard at the old house, we were having the damnedest time getting one last piece of metal frame out of the ground. We dug, and dug, and fought the thing for several days, before finally we got down to the cement plug. (All the others had come loose from their plugs long before we even tried to remove them.) Still we couldn't get it loose, so we began to dig outward to find the edge of the plug and just dig the whole damn thing out. And we dug... and dug... And as it turned out, it was not a plug at all, but one huge concrete ring that went around the entire yard where the pool had been.

Then we called in the demolition company. Should have done that from day freaking one.
