Well, it's been a struggle, but we're almost there.

We started filling the pool last Friday afternoon. I took the day off to finish getting the walls up and the liner in. At about 9:00 pm after 10 hours or so of working on the pool, the liner slipped and couldn't be stretched back over the side. At that time, there was about 1.5 feet of water in the pool. So, we drained, replaced the sand that had washed out, refit the liner, and started refilling on Sunday.

I'm filling with a garden hose, so it's a slow process. Got it filled to just below the return yesterday, so I got the return and skimmer installed, and got the filter completely installed.

Will finish filling tonight, test the pump and add chlorine. This is day 3.5 with no chlorine, so I'm ready to get some sanitizer in there to keep from an early algae bloom. Assuming we finish filling and add chlorine tonight, we should be swimming by tomorrow.

What a process.
