Today the pool arrived! It had several major hassles and it took them 5 hours to do the job, but it now sits in place in the back yard!Notice that there are two pools on the truck. Unfortunately, ours is the one on the bottom. It was loaded that way at the factory in California for safer transport. Our pool contractor was not happy!
After much discussion over who would take responsibility in the event of a mishap, it was decided to first crane the top pool onto our front yard. (This pool is going to Park City, or they would have just delivered it first.)Notice our pool in the background is still on the truck.
Larry had to bend the weeping cherry out of the way.
After they got the other pool out of the way, they lifted our pool off the truck.
Here you see our pool flying over the top of our house. Because the distance was too great for the weight of the pool (2800 pounds, Ralph!) it had to be set down in the back yard of the house next door.The neighbors have been great to allow us to drive on their new sod (ruined), turn off their sprinkling system for 2 weeks (in 100- degree heat), and take apart and cap their sprinklers so the trucks could drive over them. Tonight we told them that we aren't going to charge them for their half of the fence. Seems only fair . . .
After they put the other pool back on the truck, they moved the crane so they could lift our pool into its' hole. Finally!
It's in! Hooray! Neighbors keep coming by to see. The guys across the street had a beer party with their friends to watch the show!

This is amazing! I love the shot of the pool going over the house.
Hurray!! Is it going to be ready by the time we get there? How many square feet is the pool? The pictures were fantastic! The pool looks like it's as big as the house!!
