Nico and Jane Cape were fairly confident but still apprehensive as workmen prepared to “fly” their new laminated swimming pool into the backyard from the pavement of Colin Ave. in Chaplin Estates. Their neighbors were fairly confident too, but apprehensive. “I hope that tree survives,”said one. It was a sentiment everyone echoed. But finally, about 1 p.m. after careful checking of all the links, the fully anchored crane and the position of trees, wires and rooflines, the whole lift happened in a matter of about a minute. Here we see the 2,500 pound pool rising above trees and homes, swinging across neighbors yards and into the Cape’s prepared backyard at 16 Colin. Below, we see the pool before it was taken off the trailer and the whole Cape family, smiling happily to know that the pool had landed safely in their yard. Thursday, July 10, 2014
