Thanks, waste, I have the first guy coming again tomorrow to talk further. I'd really like to get the whole thing done once and for all. I just know I'm not going to like the mismatched look. At first, I thought there might be something they could do to stain the whole thing to match, but they said it doesn't work and that we wouldn't be happy with the result. The first company did say that there's a chance of the coping breaking, but they didn't jump to "you'll need a new liner, too". I just can't understand why a cracked coping would automatically lead to a new liner.
