If there is a crack or slash in the reflecting pool, it will be interesting to see its' location

after the pool is drained so long as *rump doesn't put a tarp up to hide the pool from view.

The average weight of an armored SUV runs from 6,800 to 11,000 lbs, not including the passengers, and turning a vehicle diagonally greatly increases localized stress on concrete.

from 1.5 to 2.5 feet deep basically a giant wading pool.

As a side note, the average weight of an automobile in the 1920s during the Model T era was 1,200 to 3000 lbs.

It's almost as if they were trying to sabotage this renovation on purpose.
