Can you spot the difference between the two pics? Hint, it's NOT the dirt and leaves.

Bingo, you're right it's a 28 mil 15 year new pool liner!! Hip hip hooray!
Yup, the writing was on the wall, so were several holes (in the pool liner). We could have gambled and waited to see if we could perhaps get one more season out of the old, original liner but there were too many downsides to taking that approach.
After scheduling on site visits, talking to the experts and getting numerous quotes we decided it was best to git er done now. One enticing incentive was that here in New England it's now 'off season' for pool companies, so by having the work done now we saved some money.
We went with Heritage Pools. They came with excellent reference and the owner visited with us to explain the whole process. Their bid came in as the lowest and they could do the work before November. However, the most enticing aspect of Heritage Pools was that they saved the pool water and put it back once the new liner was installed. This was a $600.00+ savings alone!
The water was pumped into (3) 20' x 40' bags that covered our front lawn. The work was completed in 5 hours, soup to nuts. Other than a new liner, you'd have never known they were there.
Of course we don't have the money for such a project, so we're gonna need to make some HUGH adjustments. Look'n like we'll be eating a lot of Ramen soups this winter for starters, alas.
Soaked again...
