And that is exactly what the pool builder/contractor is hoping for ... for you to let it go!!! Standard Operating Procedure .. to bring the homeowner into submission.
Been there done that ... don't do it!!
Think about how much you are paying for that job, compare that to a car and make analogies, will that be acceptable in a car of that price range?
You have spend x years without a pool in the backyard, you can wait another month or so and have it 'right'.
Using the word lawyer once in a while worked fine in my case.

Hollow stones are normal. All stone has voids. 1/2 of the stones they install are like that (That I do believe!).
Cracks in the mortar and separation of the mortar from the stone is normal.
They are definitely beating me done on this. I am tired of looking at a concrete hole in my backyard. My wife and I are discussing letting the mortar issues go, requiring an extended warranty. I will not budge on the tiles or the crappy looking edges to the coping.
What I'm thinking: In a year or 2, rip the coping out and replace with a matte finish granite and expoxy grout.
