    Step repair

    I would definitely see it but others wouldn't. Gets tiring explaining it. However the cost 2 years ago was 4K per step to replace. I'm sure its much more now and probably couldn't be done without having to put in a new liner also.

    Advice needed...

    I spent 4 days removing the mortar, what a PIA. I basically used the grinder to make a cut in the mortar and then a sharp chisel to where the mortar met each brick and the mortar mostly came out. The problem is I can't get anymore of the bullnose as multiple suppliers say they don't make these...

    Liner replacement Disaster

    I actually did post the names of both. Wanted to warn other potential buyers about my loss. I had good intentions and was scolded about the reason why it is not allowed. I totally understand and didn't mean to intentionally break rules.

    Liner replacement Disaster

    As you can see in my post I didn't use a pool truck guy. I was posting that while you posted. He was "HIGHLY" recommended by the Manufacturer of the liner. Both companies were horrible. Lost half the summer. And a lot of money.
