I have been a stubborn yet resourceful DIYer since Disco was in. With that in mind, here is my current project:
I am remodeling my 30-year-old vinyl liner pool that currently has a concrete deck and patio. I'm going with 24"x24" tumbled limestone pavers placed on the concrete base. I want to cut out the existing white aluminum bullnose coping along with about 12" of concrete, remove the coping, replace with a cantilever liner track, repour 12" of concrete level with the rest of the concrete deck, and then start laying the new pavers.
Because my pool is a large Grecian pool, I really don't want to use the 4"x9" limestone remodel coping as it will produce a "busy" look in contrast to the large deck pavers. The distributor has 12"x12" remodel coping, but they would be very expensive to cover the 132 linear foot circumference of the pool and wouldn't be much better. I'd prefer to simply lay flat 12"x24" limestone coping, but by doing so, there will be gap of around 2-3/8" of concrete between the new limestone coping and the pool liner track (that would have been covered by the remodel coping).
Here's my question: Can't I place a line of 2" tile of matching limestone (maybe mosaic; maybe glass) around the pool to fill the gap and grout it? Would that work or would it look like something slapped together? It wouldn't be as clean a look as remodel coping, but I'm hopeful that any oddity would be outweighed by the nice-looking 12"x24" limestone coping along the top edge of the pool. Your thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks
