Deanna's Dailies (or whenever...)

On June 1st residents of Brampton could be seen looking into the sky and pointing and saying"It's a bird....It's a plane....or a very big bathtub? Actually it was our pool "flying through the air" over our house. It was lifted from a flatbed truck with a crane and rather quickly lifted probably 100 feet into the air over the house. I was trying to record this momentous event with pictures but I had to be pretty quick with the shutter or I'd have missed alot of it. The crane operator (plus pool installers) lowered the pool onto one of the piles of sand close to the hole. The pool was placed in the hole and some water was even added and a bit of the sand was shovelled around it to secure it. One would've thought we'd have been done in just a few days after this but such was not the case.

Tim, the pool man, (no not Tim the Toolman from Home Improvement) took delivery of 5 pools at once so all of them had to get put in the ground before he could finish installing any of them. I must divulge the reason for the urgency for him to get the pools into the ground-70% of the total cost was due when the pool arrived on site. It is now June 16th and we're FINALLY getting close to finishing the installation. Our electrician was terrific with his work of running power from the house to the shed (This was after we once again used our shovels and dug a 50' long, 18" deep trench for the electrical conduit to be buried in). By the way, Glenn did that too. The plumbing of the pool is now complete. It was done once but one of the hoses came off one of the jets so it had to be dug up and reconnected. Now we're waiting for the patterned concrete to be formed and poured and our Solar Heater to be installed. I can't wait! Note the picture of the flying pool Bye for now.
