I managed to find other postings from people in my same position of not knowing ANYTHING about how to do this, and the answers they got will help me immensely. We plan to start this over the upcoming weekend (SCARY!). I will take pictures. Funny though, I remember 30 years ago when my dad put in his pool using baking soda and borax instead of buying the chemicals from the pool place.....I guess he was ahead of his time! LOL
