Welcome to the forum!

Sounds like you can still get a season or 3 out of your pool, but it's GREAT that you're anticipating and planning for the inevitable liner failure!

I can tell you what's involved with both the liner replacement, as well as the steps (thank goodness you don't need my info right now - I accepted a job 2 states away today and will be very! busy in the next 2 weeks working and packing and moving

I'll gladly talk with you about this in Sept., when I get ~ moved in(or, better yet, Nov., when I get laid off and the boards are slow anyway) just bump this thread to remind me about it
