Hey thanks for that! - - - Updated - - - this is a good one also

So I go out and marvel how clean and clear my pool is now ( About day 6 it got really nice ), The testing is a breeze now. I have settled into consistent numbers and have a good feel for where my pool wants to be. I have no more pool stress, just happiness and content and if you follow all...

Looks like the same type of rebuild as mine. here is my link. http://www.troublefreepool.com/threads/77051-Resurrecting-an-old-pool-from-the-beginning

I thought about cutting back on the oak trees around my pool but come July when the pool temp climbs to 90+ it's nice having that shade and shade just to sit under and eat lots of good food. I am sure in the future when hurricane whatever rolls through I will have tree in pool!

Trigger thinkin the pool is for him! Come on daddy open the gate!

Appreciate all the kind words. We had not looked at those pictures in quite a while. It is nice to get them all out there in order for other people to see.

I posted this in my thread but I really wanted to post it in yours. just make sure water stays out from behind that liner, you saw what it did to my walls.

Another product from Leslie's you don't want to use! You will need 40,000 of these to fill your pool!

Just be careful water does not get behind the liner!

We found railings and stairs on Craigslist for free, I painted the concrete and sidewalks Aqua blue and this is what it looks like today.

The old pump still works even though it is making bad noises so we can start filtering, new pump on order. Did not do anything to the sand filter. Amazing it still filters and well. By the way I found that dolphin pool cleaner at a garage sale for 25 bucks

Really have to work at getting creases out, once the cold water is it you can forget it. Finally pool is filled

I cant stress how important it is to install a new liner on a hot day. It makes the process much easier. following the video we laid out the liner in the pool and started attaching it to the coping. Stretching and smoothing, stretching and smoothing. it took one person to stretch the liner...

I was suprised how they packed the big liner into a pretty small box. I was like really our liner is in there? Anyways we ordered a medium grade thickness. we were confident that we did everything we could do to protect the new liner. This was very important. Deb made us all watch the...

Now that all the inside repairs are done it is time for a little ping pong with the horse's!

From here we concentrated on the coping. some of the old liner was still under the coping so we had to go through and check and remove. We used all the old coping in this project. Amy on left is duck taping underneath all the coping around the pool to protect the new liner from rough spots...

The steel paneling was rusted to the point that some of the rust was sticking out 1/2 to an inch from the steel panels. I had to take a grinder and grind down all the rust. This took about a week. Of course After grinding I had to washed the sides so now I had water in the pool again which I...

so at this point it was time to measure for the new liner since it had to be made custom. I turned this part of the operation over to my wife who is a locomotive engineer and is a stickler for detail. Her friend Amy who is also a locomotive engineer started cleaning the concrete deck area and...

So all the mud and water is out now. Notice how filthy the concrete is. The ladders and railings were missing. We did find a solar cover on a spindle in the woods but was all torn up and unusable. Not surprising that was in the woods. Seems like people in this area love to use the woods to...

This was done in 2010

So the panels around the inside of the pool were steel ( see rust ) the bottom was clay but it had something on top of it, some kind of sand. Fortunately even with the water getting inside of the liner all that was still intact. I had to be careful when I was shoveling that I did not dig into...
