    Liner(maybe) too tight--Advice Please!!!

    Hi everyone! Well, we installed the liner this afternoon. We attempted to vacuum the liner into place but we could never get a good seal.

    Ah the rudeness...

    So, following the lead of past DIYers I decided to call excavators to see if they would be willing to dig the pool hole and haul away the dirt.
