Good point, if you are busy it means you are still here. Good luck with the project and life.
give the man a chance , too me 3 months just to get my 100 gal working how i wanted it. he is gonna do it right so he aint gonna rush
I don't want to jinx it, but Thursday I am doing the template to see which liner size I need. Cross everything you've got that life doesn't get in the way yet again.
As Promised
The weather wouldn't cooperate with me to be able to fold the plastic the way it should have been, but I promised I would get this done today and so I did.
I taped the two pieces of 10'x25' plastic together with duct tape on both sides then folded and balled up the whole thing to get it into the tank.
The 20' x 25' template idea that my wife thought up worked perfectly. The smaller liner size (20' x 25') will work. The dogleg corner will not be a problem at all.
With help to pre-fold and line up with registration marks, the liner installation will not be difficult at all.
The next step is to get with Ken and figure out and build the framing to secure the liner around the top and the frame around the window. All pieces will be coated with Permadri then secured with 3" deck screws and Dow 795 sealant. Every join where the frame contacts the liner will be caulked with Dow 795.

Congrats on the progress, know you've been wanting to get to this point and beyond. Good luck on the remainder of this epic project, and a tip of the hat to the spouse and her assistance.
