Texgirl, I so much feel your pain as to colors and placement. It seems so much today if you want something done right you have to do it yourself. My dad said that years ago and it has been pretty much right over the years, but it is almost impossible for one person to build and complete a pool.
I agree with others, that once the pool is filled, everything cleaned up, and everything looking nice that you may still notice, but everyone else won't give a hoot because they will be having SO much fun in that pool. You have to look at it that way. You pool looks great!! I for one, can't wait for the pictures of the completed pool.
