Hello all,
So I had this topic posted before but I guess it was deleted. I started this project last Saturday but was pulled away, today I was able to make some progress. It seems like I am only able to work on this project on Saturdays, which is making me consider getting the professionals to finish it just so it is done in a timely manner.
OK so I was able to finish cutting the concrete, removing and digging down to the bottom of the 1st skimmer

So as you can see it is a tight fit, and it is flex pipe all the way to just before the pump were it is hard PVC.
Funny how you think things are and how they actually are, I was hoping that both skimmer flex pipes met hard PVC running back away from the skimmer making kind of an "F" going towards the back but it was not so.
Turns out the flex pipe actually goes towards the pool side and it looks like it than turns right towards the other skimmer. Go figure 
Anyway my question is (LOL, sorry for the long winded intro):
Can I I just cutaway the flex pipe were it meets the skimmer put an elbow and run PVC away from the skimmer, doing the same to the other skimmer making a "F" back towards the pump. Just trenching a new line ?
