She Crashed In !!!!!!

Yippee!!!!!!
Before I give our update I want to stop and give thanks to you all who have helped us and sympathized for us.
And a special thanks to Matt & Dennis.
This was a serious P.I.A but definitely worth it.

Ok...
SO the hot sunny day came today. All sun and in the mid to upper 80's. And NO WIND!!

Yesterday Tom took down the liner and fixed the few bent up rails ect. ect.
Today Tom got up before the sun and started the coffee pot and went out to turn on the pump(not the pool pump) to get all the water out.
Then he measured for round and checked for level. Made adjustments and got everything to less than an 1" away from perfection.
Then He, Grandpa & I hung the liner.
We got the liner in much better this time. The bottom is smooth and is pushed all the way to the walls.
All went splendidly!
We turned on the hose, put on the topseats and caps.
She has been filling for about 7 hours now.
We have no signs of worry and the liner fits great.

I can't thank you all enough,
I hope lots of people read and learn from our mistakes.

Next step is to get 'er filled w/ water then backfilled and get the porch built ASAP.
I will keep the photo chronicle going.

~Happy Hoffmans

Wow, what a testimony of pure stubborness and determination. I commend you all for not giving up, although how you could have in the middle of it is beyond me. Can't wait to see some pics.

YAY!!!! I am so happy for you!! I knew you would get things worked out. Bet you can't wait to swim!

Excellent!
I'm glad it all worked out right the second time!
My son was in ours mid last week for the first time this year - it was 68 and he stayed in almost 1 hour!
