Ok, for any of you that have been following or helping me in my other threads, first off thanks for all the help! I figured I would just start a new thread with pics of my finished product. (Well, finished for now until I get the itch to add something else!) For those that haven't been following, here's what I've done.
-Added an Intex 2650GPH pump/sand filter/SWG combo unit.
-Added a Hayward through-wall skimmer (and used the return that came with it as an extra return)
-Upgraded to PVC plumbing all around and built a PVC fountain.
Here are some pics. Didn't get any pics of the skimmer install, but I drained the water level to about 2-3" below where the bottom of the skimmer would be, used the "inside the pool" faceplate as a template to mark where to cut. Cut the liner with a Hobby knife before installing (so that I could properly install the butterfly gasket on the front and back side of liner). No leaks what-so-ever and it works great.
