Thanks Hoffmans! Here are some more pictures........we are actually filling the pool!!!! WOOOOHOOOOOOOOO! Now I hope I don't have to drain it like I've heard several other people have noticed problems as the pool was filling and had to drain it. The liner went in a little too smoothly for my liking. LOL. The liner was the easiest part of it all! We laid it out, picked a starting point, hooked the bead in all the way around and we were done! There are still quite a few wrinkles in the bottom that we couldn't seem to smooth out, but it's ok with me. I will comment (or ask a question) under each picture:

Here is a picture of the styrofoam coving that we built using our leftover styrofoam. It's not 6 inches high (more like 3 inches), but I think it worked out perfectly. It's completely covered in duct tape, so that's why you can't see the foam

Here's a close-up of the homemade cove

Here's a picture of where I was concerned about the liner because it's not sitting flush against the wall at the bottom (near the cove). If I push hard with my foot, I can barely get it to touch the corner so I was thinking the liner was too small and wasn't fitting. As the pool filled about 2 inches, it seems to have flattened out some and now looks ok (although I haven't been in the pool to see it closely). I am keeping an eye on it.

Here's the (almost) finished product! I plan on running the hose about 6 hours today and 6 hours tomorrow and then having the rest of the water brought in by truck. We also just put the limestone gravel in last night and you can see it in this picture.

I'll keep everyone updated! Thanks for everything!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am started to see a light at the end of the tunnel!
