There's probably not a huge profit margin.

Have your family guy get some friends to help and give a great BBQ afterwards!
Sounds like a plan. I'll be the guy who will be helping because I can do grunt work...I just don't know the ins and outs of replacing a liner. And remember, that $2200 price was for the liner only. The total would be around $3800 with labor included from the pool shop. I know they need to pay their guys, but that seems like a bit much. I'd rather throw burgers and steaks on the grills for the couple of days this will take and pay my cousin for his efforts that front the guys who try to sell me every garbage chemical in the world.
