I'm going to need some help with my pool, which the old owners filled in with dirt

I'm going to dig it out myself, and then recoat the interior and put in new kool deck after I scope and check the pipes, drains, etc.  Then I'll put in all the equipment, but I sure would like some guidance in the matter.

For instance:

I dig it all out, and you come over and inspect it.  Then tell me when it's ready to resurface, which I'll do and you inspect.  Etc etc.

In other words, I don't need any physical labor help, I need your experience - you play the boss and I'll play the bitch doing the labor.  I just need you knowledge to know I am doing it right.

If you can help, please post here and I'll PM you my number.
