As my coping is being installed on my pool, I just noticed that the skimmer basket opening/lid has to be cut into the coping because of the way they placed it. The didn't even form a proper skimmer throat, it appears:

Shouldn't the skimmer have been pushed back so that a square cover could sit flush with the edge of the coping, rather than cutting into it? Perhaps something like this:
