Hi Peter,
you doing the paving your self? done quiet a few pools myself
I considered contracting it out.
I didn't like the job done on the coping. Its acceptable but it could have been better. As it stands I've recalled the contractor to replace a stone. The bullnose edge is shabby and cracked. There were 25 extra stones to choose the best out of and they couldn't be bothered to select the best stones.
That's why I'm doing the paving myself. At least it will be done right.
Cheers Marty
