    Thank you. I'm not sure why they aren't showing, but then again I've never used that image hosting site before. I've moved the pics to a server I have control over, so I'm reposting them below:

    http://ctvsystems.com/pool/pool1.jpg
    http://ctvsystems.com/pool/pool2.jpg
    http://ctvsystems.com/pool/pool3.jpg

    Since these pics were taken I have found that there are a total of four wall sections that are partially collapsed in. All to about the same degree as pool3.jpg

    I've also found that apparently there are two plumbing leaks, one on a return for a polaris and it appears that there is one where the skimmer is.

    There is also massive damage to the floor. The bottom portion in the hopper is vermiculite and it has turned pretty much to sand. You can't even walk on it without damaging it. And there are some major cracks and crevices throughout the bottom, not just in the hopper.

    Additionally the plastic/fiberglass steps cracked when I stepped on them. On subsequent steps I heard some more minor cracking. So I've laid wood across them for the time being.

    And here's the clincher - I've got an absolutely max budget of $2500 TOTAL to get this fixed - including the liner!

    Wow that's pretty rough. I'd call it a rebuild rather than a repair. I'm no construction expert but I think you'll probably have to rip all that rotten wood out and start over. Personally I'd look into using plywood and rebar to hold a form and pour concrete in behind it to make new walls/floor for the pool. I've no idea what that will cost but you might keep it in your price range if you did absolutely everything yourself. I'd search for DIY pool construction.

    Maybe someone else here will have better information for you, unfortunately I don't.

    I don't have any idea what will be the cost for it, I think you should get the estimation from a pool professional.
