I finished the pergola and stairs yesterday. My friend came over today and helped me finish out the lattice under my upper deck.
Now just have to stain(i have no idea how long to wait) it.

That looks awesome! When you start treating the algae in your pool be sure to turn those steps over. they grow algae on the bottom where its not touching the pool floor/wall.
Thanks Glock.
New pool owner/closer question.
I've unhooked my hoses from my skimmer to pump at the pump and my hose from my filter to SWG to jet at the jet. I've stored my SWG. I've gotten the water out of the hoses. Do I need to detach them from the skimmer and filter even though they're empty?(also the hose connecting the pump to filter)

I leave mine running during the winter. On the nights when it is expected to freeze I leave the pump on. I have only had one emergency "teardown" and that was during a 14 hour power outage. I was home and watched the lines. Once they started getting slushy I removed the hoses and opened the valve on the pump. It drained on its own and once the power came back on and the temp was above freezing I put it back together and turned it back on. You are in a colder climate though. If you remove the low end of the hose and make it so it doesn't pool inside the hose I would think leaving them intact is not bad. Might crack if they get cold and someone moves or steps on them but only you know the odds of that.
Its best to remove those pipes from skimmer if you feel freezing can occur, the ice can build up and cause a pull on the skimmer.
Love that deck, GREAT JOB!!!!

Well upon unhooking my SWG and that line, my jet was 1.5" below my skimmer so skimmer is high and dry
Wow, what a wonderful set up you have there, to quote everyone ele - it is awesome 
I'm looking at one of those types of pools for next year - not sure if it will look as great as this though.

It turned into a swamp in a week. Slowly getting it under control. Bought a Aquabot(full size) that is helping tremendously.
Slowly but surely.
