Gettting a new liner this year, couple questions

[NWMNMom]

you guys crack me up! You also a lot of help for people in need!

BTW, be sure to avoid the other common type of labor mistakenly used for any type of project - "sullen teenager" and the other color, "surly teenager" Neither one of these are useful and often end up with pre-payment for work that never gets done. Been there, done that.

Hey Mom, I hear that one loud and clear. I have sent three of my daughters off to college but I have this one thirteen year old that's still around. We drag her out on weekends sometimes to get a little extra help.

Later, Dennis

Well you guys were alot of help! We started draining the pond yesterday about 11 am and finished up with it about 10 tonight. We still have to add about 6 or 8 inches of water, but its all back together good and I will test the water in the morning and start the pump( yeah, there goes our low electric bills!!) The replacement went really smoothly, the original liner had LOTS of wrinkles in it, so this time I took a little extra time to smooth everything out and it looks great. The kids can't wait to bail off in it tommorow after school!!
So now the battle begins. I have my supply of bleach, borax and baking soda ready!! You should have seen the guys face when I got my liner when he asked if I needed any tabs or shock... and I just flippantly said, "No I am using bleach!" I thought he was going to swallow his tounge!!
