The Final Ingredient

It is full. It is full, and there do not appear to be any leaks. Now we wait for the all important cold weather that is supposedly on it's way. I trimmed the excess liner and stapled the liner to the side boards using squares of cardboard to help keep the liner from ripping. I will wait to trim the excess on the endboards until I have ice. Then I will cut the liner 8-10 inches above the ice surface, and put poly kick plates over to protect the liner, and to hold it in place.

The forecast is for rain tonight and Sunday, followed by rain and sleet on Monday. Tuesday gets below freezing and then becomes frigid (7 degrees for low) the next couple of days.

I am very hopeful!
