    Web, sorry I missed this yesterday - I lose a lot of new posts while trying to respond (I wish I could figure out a way to 'stay updated' when I go to look for things while reading a post ). It's very possible, I've done it dozens of times. The trick is to match up the screw holes when re installing the liner, as long as you do that, there is absolutely no problem, especially since you have a new liner. The key is technique. Unfortunately, this guy seems to be lacking in competance, so I'm dubious as to whether he can pull this off. Time will tell...
    Good Luck!!
    Luv & Luk, Ted

    Hi Waste! Hey PB did get some of the rough spots out, but there are still several (I counted 17) near the bottom of the wall on the deep end. The 17 are in an area about 5" by 30" or so. They are about the size of large, but shelled whole cashew nuts. Very hard- will not flatten when pushed on with thumb. He drained less than a ft of water, so I am surprised he got as many out as he did. Hubby is so frustrated that he doesn't want PB to touch the pool anymore, but I think we will have early wear where the large "rocks" are. We are not going to pay PB anymore, although he claims he is finished with job. If you get a chance read my other posts and tell me how to talk to this nimcompoop, and voice my concerns. I guess, I mean, how do I tell him, he 'ain't' getting final payment anytime soon? Thanks, Web
