All right, the liner is in.
It's time to install our bottom drain.
Take a look at the tools I've gathered.
I have it all on hand right here, so I can make my job go smoothly.
I have my sealant.
I have a razor blade and
some scissors, Sharpie in case I want to make some marks.
I got the screwdrivers necessary for a flat head for
the hardware with this.
I grabbed an impact gun so
I can maybe make my job go a little faster.
Of course, I have my components necessary for
putting the bottom drain together.
Tape measure, and then I have a cutting tool, 'cause we're gonna cut
this stem, just to the right depth before we're done.
The first thing we wanna do is identify the area, and
I can feel the circle in here.
I'm gonna go ahead and mark it so it's a little easier for
everyone to see.
So this is.
That's the inside of the bottom drain.
And just so you know, the outside's somewhere in this range.
Okay? Let me go ahead and outline that.
Okay, so there's the outside of the bottom drain.
So I'm going to cut through the middle here.
So I can see inside.
Now the first thing I want to tell you,
I am not going to cut this right to the edge.
I am going to give myself an opening about like this.
And then we'll cut it right to the edge when we complete the seal.
But this could be the opportunity to look inside the hole to
make my connections.
Okay, so if you remember we filled this hole up with some underlayment.
This might be a little messy here.
I'm gonna wait, actually,
because there was a bunch of water and mud down at the bottom of
this we'll have to shopvac out when we're done.
Now I have a damp towel so we can clean the surface in here.
It's kinda hard to see, but I'm looking inside here and
I'm checking to make sure that the underlayment
has not made its way onto this piece.
There's a piece we're gonna attach to.
And if the underlayment overlaps it somewhere underneath here,
then it would have a leak right there.
So we wanna make sure that the underlayment
is not gathered anywhere right there.
It looks nice and clean in there.
Okay yeah, we're good.
Now when we put the underlayment and the liner down,
there a little bit of dust is under the pond.
So I have this damp towel.
And I'm gonna use it to just clean the surface of that bottom drain.
So you see that?
I got out of there?
I just want to get it clean.
All right.
So, it's just damp 'cause I don't want it too wet.
I want to go right for my sealant really quick here.
So, I have that cleaned off.
I'm going to do it one more time before we go.
Now, remember these pieces of tape we put in there.
I'm gonna take all these pieces of tape out.
And that, I know my ports where my screws
are going to go into are not going to be impacted with debris or sand.
It really is a pain to get those things clear if you didn't take
this extra step.
And underneath each one of those tapes you can see this tape right
here on this side underneath that tape I have my black mark so
I can identify the hole.
Yes.
Okay.
So now I'm gonna fold this up just right.
My damp my damp towel.
I'll come through and just pat it with this dry towel.
So, now the top of my bottom drain is clean and ready for
the attachment.
But what's not clean is that the bottom of this liner.
So, while I have it, suspend it in the air like this,
not touching anything.
I'm gonna come through with this damp towel, and
I'm just gonna get a little cleaning on here.
Just wipe off that talcum powder, the dust,
anything that's underneath there.
See, you got a little bit.
I'll hit it with the dry towel.
Now we're all clean and good to go.
I'm gonna get the camera up close so
I'm gonna have you take a look in here so you can see how clean it is,
and then this is where it's good to have an extra set of hands.
I'll have someone get down in here and hold this up for
me while I go ahead and apply my sealant in there.
