I gave my pool pump the day off for this very reason. It's been unusually cold here.
Ok I've been slacking on updates due to being busy but here's what's going on
Since I had the trench opened up for electrical I ran some drainage pipe for a rain chain that I'm using instead of a down spout on the front of my house. The 4" green pipe goes to a drywell I have for the backyard gutters
Then I finished up the panel and easy touch system
I wasn't home for the liner install so I came home to this
Took 3 days to fill this monster
And this is close up of water color with some sun really happy with the black liner!
Waterfall starts tomorrow so I should have some more pics soon

Wow, looks fantastic! Now would be a good time for you to start putting information in your signature such as how many gallons that sucker is!
Thanks Kim! yes just one small spot in the deep end smiwout has a wrinkle in the corner pb builder said when it warms up it will go away if not they can pull it tight if need be.
Thanks and I will start a list for my sig
**** dude, that water is crystal clear. TFP FTW. I think this may be the first build I've seen where the pool was already full before decking was done. Remind me again what you are decking with?
Yeah the water is perfect thanks! Coping will be bluestone along with the decking. I wanted the soil to settle over the winter so I'm going to pour slab early spring and get rocking!!!!!
Started on the waterfall
Gray unilock pavers and concrete pad poured
About 9 tons of moss rock
And a pic of lights

Good idea letting the soil settle. Just be ready to add more dirt when it is time.
You are using real boulders for you waterfall? HOW will you lift them? How will you keep them in place? THIS is going to be interesting to watch for sure.

With an alias like "Biggbotti" (Big Body) I imagine he will be lifting these boulders by himself.
Thanks Kim! yes real moss rock cemented in place and will be lifted with a skid steer to put them in place

How heavy are the blue stone slabs? i really like the naturalness of the moss rock and I agree with the others - the water is so clear. - Karen
