Quick reply for tonight

The stronger 2 should do the pulling. The diving board is a perfect place for the liner - you do need to take the liner fully out of the box to unfold it.

I want to mention to wear soft soled shoes with no hard edges when walking on the floor, now that it's patched - and even with them, try to avoid walking on the patches. The patches should be set after 12 - 24 hours - but they are still not as set as the rest of the floor. When you sweep the floor, look for any little spots you may have missed when patching. Also, before sweeping the floor, be sure to clean the side walls of any debris -- you want the walls and floor to be as smooth and debris- free as possible!

Before putting in the 'under liner' gaskets on, make sure that the area they are going on is clean and smooth. Also check the stair gaskets and faceplates - they don't often need to be replaced, but if you see anything wrong with them, you could end up fighting a leak -- if you have a question about any of them, ask me and I'll give you a 'pro's' appraisal (pics would certainly! help )

We can go into getting the liner perfectly placed tomorrow and how to fill the pool and cut out the liner
