We're ready to install our underlayment.
It's a geotextile fabric and we put it on top of the dirt.
It acts as a padding when we go to put the liner down.
Now the widest I can get it is in 15-foot widths, so
we'll be cutting it to fit this application.
Okay, go ahead and cut it right there.
>> [INAUDIBLE]
All right, I'm good right there.
All right,
if you'll notice the floor of the pond is virtually wrinkle free.
That's where most of the wrinkles and
line are really gonna show themselves.
We're gonna have to deal with some wrinkles on the wall, so I'm not so
much worried about any wrinkles in the fabric on the wall.
But, on the floor of the pond,
if I had a big fat wrinkle like this in the bottom of the floor when I go
to put the liner on, it's really gonna show itself.
So, the bottom of the floor, we want to get as flat as possible like this
and so that's what we've done.
So, I'm gonna cut a circle around where the bottom drain's at so
I don't have to go and do that after we have the liner in.
It's really difficult to do later.
So, we're gonna go ahead and do that right now.
Before we put the liner in,
I wanna cut out where the bottom drain is gonna be.
This can be cut out later, but it is really a pain in the butt.
So, we're gonna cut it out right now,
cuz of course we can't seal the bottom drain through this.
So, I'm going to cut it actually just a little bit more, so
that way when we go to put the liner down, if we get movement like this,
then I'll have to work and try to get that out, so
I'm just gonna cut it a little bit bigger all the way around so
that way when we put the liner down, I can have a little bit of movement,
in the underlayment, that is.
You can see how strong this fabric is, so
it's good to have this underneath the liner.
It's hard to cut even with a pair of scissors.
So, I'm just gonna leave this down here, and
now when I go to clean that bottom drain,
I gotta clean this off once the liner goes in before I do a seal.
So, now I'm ready to go.
Here we are at the TPR jet.
I'm gonna cut this guy open so I don't have to do it later.
