    I'm no expert on this but I do know that getting the bottom level, even, and the right depth is important. Two tricks I've seen is using wet sand (or dust) and using 2' x 2' pieces of 1/2" plywood to step on when doing the final leveling and smoothing, and never putting a foot on the bottom. Use the plywood when standing on the liner as well to protect the base.

    The shop-vac is necessary.

    Other than that, others will have to help you.

    Yeah, the rain's been a killer for me too. I've bought tarps just in case, to reduce re-grading time.

    New liner in and filled some small wrinkles but I'm guessing they will work their way out on their own. 6 bottles of 8.25% in to keep at shock level starting to clear up nicely. It was a struggle but it's done hopefully for the last time.

    Took about 3 days to get crystal clear, let it get down to 4ppm chlorine & added stabilizer need to do 1 more vacuum to clear the bottom of some sediment from the water, but got in it today to stir the dirt & let the filter clean some if it, water temp 68 but once you were in it was nice. Now if mother nature could get me a week or so of 80's to warm it up a bit more will be party time.
