Nice progress Aaron!
I'll guess that you are going to clean the skimmer first...

Are you going to do a test with fresh water to make sure you have no leaks?
Not easy to tell the order you took the pics but never a bad idea to run the test in case there is an area you forgot to glue, or where may have a small leak..best to find out now!

Good luck with the next step!!

Support those pipes!!!

You don't want a bunch of PVC being held up by the strength of one of the solved joints. Plus I added some input in the other thread.
