Hello all!
I have signed up on a couple of pool forums today, trying to get started on a pool I recently got permission to work on.
I want to say I like the approach of this site, especially the "Methodology" approach, which I am a fan of as it will help me understand the bigger picture.
Anyway, I am going to copy the post I posted elsewhere here as well, and hope to hear form some of you!

I'll try not to be a forum dummy, and promise to be honest and work hard for any reasonable advice I get.
Here goes nothing.

Hello everybody,
I found your forum after looking around online for info on a pool I recently got permission to work on.
I have a few heads ready to get to work, and invest in this thing, but it hasn't been in service for a long time, and recently got filled with rainwater.
It's really gross and green, and I took a couple of pics to get started.
We used to use this pool until my uncle passed away, and it has sat for maybe five years. I was told the pump and filtration work, and are newer, as in replaced right before it stopped being used. I don't remember any issues with the pool other than the fact that we would not run the heater due to energy concerns.
Well, here are two pics to get started, I figure you all can ask me questions and I can try and gather as much info as possible. If someone could guess the size and let mew know what to do first, I'd appreciate it.

Any help would be appreciated, and yes I know the pool is nasty and is gonna be a heck of a project.
