ok pool guys second year pool owner please forgive my ignorance! thanks in advance ! pool installed in 1971,free form beauty pool(gunite,plaster) the sidewalk around the pool has lifted slightly(inch or so) therefore making gap in spots around pool. is this bad should i replace side walk or chaulk the gap? is the sidewalk called the coping? can i simply replace tile around top edge of pool as they are wearing out?. also have in wall strainer wear sidewalk has lifted can this be busted out and repaired? i am sure i have more questions but i will wait for your replies. o one more what would be directly under the sidewalk? i mean generally speaking i am sure we can not be certain. once again thank you all!
