NWMNWmom....I too am putting up a pool in the next couple weeks. My husband also wasn't too keen on this new venture as the costs are adding up. Any good tips on the liner installation will be greatly appreciated. I've read everything I can get my hands on and want to do it right. The liner will be a 18' beaded liner..I only have a small shop vac (5 gallon 1.25hp) Will that be sufficient to suck the liner to the walls??
