I was advised by the good folks in General Bullshit that I might find answers to my questions here . . . and I do have many! This is a start, though.

So previous owners of this house, which I just recently purchased, had removed an in-ground swimming pool. It was covered with fill dirt and looked much like a desert wasteland when we first moved in a little over a month ago, and I am busy with restoration; the place was a bit neglected, but it has excellent bones! Moving along, though, there is some residual plumbing from the pool (and from an in-ground sprinkler system I will ask about later) that I'd like to get rid of. It's an eyesore in the utility room and along the home's foundation in the backyard. Let's start with this image:

That shows the end of what appears to be PVC drain pipe on the outside corner of the house. It extends along the house like this:

And after it goes through the foundation, it goes into the utility room and heads down like this:

And then it joins in a sort of double drain pipe contraption like this before going into the basement floor.

Where can I begin removing this? I'd like to do it as closely to the floor as possible, thus eliminating the bulk of the drain pipe. I think the oddness of the pipe has to do with the workings of the swimming pool's pump and recirculation system, but I don't know anything about pools. I've never owned one!
