So the edge was fixed. PB grinded it down, then used concrete repair to create a faux coping. Pool is now done. Headaches aside we love our pool. We got the Looploc 28 mil Splashing Waves liner with Marine sparkle bottom.

I'm about ready to sign a contract for a new vinyl pool install in northern Virginia. It's been a shock at how expensive building a pool around here is and how few installers will do a vinyl pool. We are at $60k for the following. A layout I created should be attached. Opinions and insight are...
