Many thoughts, some even relevant to your pool

The question is "how much will it cost to repair the pool v.s how much you use/ want the pool (excluding the cost of filling in the pool)?" (cost, in this case, includes $ as well as your time and physical labor)

I can tell you what's actually involved in 'rehabbing' a liner pool. I can probably tell you how to do it yourself, or at least how I would do things.

I don't know how bad the pool is. I can't tell you how much materials would cost you in Maine. I also don't know how reliable/ competent the locals are.

Sometimes, when you go to do a project like this, you find that the damage is greater than you thought - like, the walls are also about to fail.

This is a tough economy, why not give a couple of pool companies a call and see what they say about how extensive the damage is and what they recommend needs repairing.

I'd have them give 2 quotes:

1) Bare minimum to swim this season

2) Best way to insure the pool will be usable for another 10 years



It's your choice! I prefer to see pools fixed and used, rather than filled in
