    Nice. Cool drinks in the pool sounds like a dream right now. Below zero here today. Brrr.

    I have an auto-cover and know nothing about loop loc. It doesn't look like 4' in the picture but your pool builder is obviously experienced!

    Yikes. I feel for you. We haven't had very many below zero temps this year...but the season's not over and we're heading into our snowiest months of the year. But, just so you don't feel so alone, we are expecting snow tomorrow night into Monday morning. The PB has even bundled up our pool and spa. Big covers/tarps over everything right now. Hope you get some warm weather soon.

    For the cover, I do have my concerns. It may be 4' from edged to edge in some spots. He hasn't let us down yet and he's going out of his way to accommodate our "small" changes and requests. (we now have custom set spa nozzles) We'll see soon, I guess.

    Parts of the concrete deck around our pool are only 3ft wide with no issues using a mesh safety cover.

    I think I may want to clarify on the nozzles. He sat my wife down and did some measurements and set the heights on half the nozzle to hit directly on her lower back where she specified, and the other half to hit just below her shoulder blade for a perfect soothing massage depending on where she's feeling sore. Actually, the nozzle heights are all the same he just made the seat lower in half the spa.

    Well, nothing has progressed since shotcrete. Guess you can see why. We've been getting snow almost every other day and it's been difficult to do anything. We got about 7 or 8 inches of the wet fluffy stuff over night and the temp has been hovering around 10. Blankets have been on since last Friday. Landscapers are supposed to start tomorrow, but I really doubt they're going to be able to do anything. We need a quick warm up and melt.

    Brrrr. What a build! Hope it warms up soon! Did you get your test kits so you will be ready to go?
