Well I spoke to my construction guy..

The cover 6" PVC tubes will be replaced by the concrete guy by post hole digger and setting new tube in hole...

Id like to be there to see it! But I intend to borrow a vibrating compactor and just do in and around everything (trying to stay 1' away from pool). In addition, He said the soil should be packed under steps but hasnt, and he still to state who is to do that?? Ill call again.

The rock in the pool issue - he says its a remanant piece of the bottom matl. and will be flattened out by a rubber mallet ( I think Ill have his guy do this or should I -it is my liner and this guy may just whack it untill its done or ripped)

Thanks for the responce and all the help this site brings
