Ok, I am probably going to sound a bit foolish as I post here, but it's really only because I have no clue what I am talking about Great way to start....
Anyways, we purchased our home during the winter months and was told our pool was opened the season prior and was in great condition. Lies. When we opened it up last summer it was trashed. We were quoted over $10k to repair it and really couldn't afford that for the pool alone. We decided this year to get into it and see what we can do ourselves (are we crazy?!)
I have attached pictures of what it looked like and where we're at now. I currently have about 2,000 lb of vermiculite mix sitting in my garage and was hoping to get it laid down this long weekend once we remove the old stuff. Now we are having trouble with the liner. I am terrified that our measurements are going to be way off (again, no clue what we're doing) and that after spending another $1,000 on it, it won't fit. Any tips or advice you can offer would be amazing!
Also, should we not put the vermiculite in without having the liner on hand to install shortly after it's set? Will it ruin everything if there is water that gets in that has to be pumped out as we wait for the liner to come in? Also, anywhere you know of that we can order the liner from and get it rather fast? I've watch YouTube tutorials and certainly think it's possible to do, but it's a bit daunting.
