Home pool finally done

It's been 3.5 - 4 long months, but our pool is finally completed. We filled it up Saturday - Sunday. Not looking forward to the next water bill!  Next thing left is to balance chemicals etc. 

The screen went up last week

Sunday afternoon the water was almost to the tiles

Monday 10/5 swim practice was rained out. No one showed up and I was not going to swim alone in the rain.
