Hi, I think your husband has done a great job. I really do. The issues you brought up are not big problems at all. It is tough to get everything perfect. The pool will not shift so once your foam is put into place it will stay there. Be sure and us lots of tape.

Looks like the kids are pretty excited about the pool. Lots of help too I bet.

The only thing that is critical in the last picture is the overall level. Side to side and end to end should all be the same. I don't see any reason not to go ahead with the foam and liner.

Oh thank you thank you thank you!!! This makes us feel much better. We are almost done with the foam and will at least lay the liner in there and fit it into the bead channel all the way around because it is supposed to rain tonight. It's already 8:00, so I doubt we'll get the liner fully installed. At least no high winds are coming!! Thanks again soooooooooooo much Dennis! You are the pool God! )

Ok so we got all the styrofoam laid tonight. Did not get the liner in because I remembered it should not sit without water in it. So we're hoping to get the liner in tomorrow night and hopefully have water delivered on Wednesday. I'm too chicken to use my well. I decided against wall foam because I didn't want to wash down the interior walls (used pool and walls are a bit dirty) and I knew the foam wouldn't stick. So I skipped it. Also, didn't use a cove because the styrofoam covers the wall channel and any rough edges. Is this ok? As long as I use duct tape along the edges to join the styrofoam with the walls? We ended up putting a thin layer of sand down, then 1.5" high grade styrofoam. Am hoping my beaded liner will fit like a glove tomorrow night. Stay tuned............

It all sounds good so far. Any chance of pics before the liner intall?

Will you be following Matt's instructions for the beaded liner install?

Remember that getting the bottom seams alligned correctly is the most important thing. The end to end (or maybe side to side) seams (or seam) and the seam that goes around the cove area. It must all fit the pool before you start the water.

You should clean the walls as best possible. It will all show through your new liner, you will be much happier by spending a little more time and doing that.

You should also consider installing the liner in direct sunlight. If you decide to try in the eve and it seems tight or like it does not want to fit, hold off for direct sun.

Looking good, Dennis

Ask and ye shall receive.........



Now know that it's pitch black out there and I couldn't see through my camera lens so I was guessing where the pool was. That's why the pics are all crooked. LOL! Probably could see better in the daylight. I'll snap some tomorrow before we put the liner in. Yes, I saved Matt's directions. Will be referring to them for sure!

Forgot to add that we're not done with the duct tape yet. The darkness chased us out of the pool before we were done. Will finish tomorrow.

Great Job, and your pics were fine. Look forward to more.
