Hi and welcome to the Pool Forum!

I'm on my way out the door to church so don't have but a minute, but there are a couple of threads you might be interested in. The first one has some pics in it about how I used to cut my cover, etc. The second one is from when I redid my pool a couple of years ago. I now use something called a solar roller cover stick. I'm going to put hot links below. If Ben gets your registration done, you'll be able to click on them and go to the threads. Until that time, you can use the Google search in either my or PoolDoc's signatures and search for these links. (Until your registration is complete, you will need to log out first to be able to see the rest of the forum.) Any questions, let me know. I'll be back around this afternoon after church.
