Crane is now gone and pool is in place. After placing it in the ground, we found we had enough room to move it out further from the house due to all the excess dirt that gave us more yard. This was an added bonus for us and made the decking area much larger than anticipated.
It was a very exciting day and everyone enjoyed seeing the crane in operation ... it was a phenomenal endeavor and was done flawlessly!
