Slow and Steady

Today was a SCARY day for me...we got our new hot tub a couple of days ago and so now we needed a way to get it onto our deck in back. So the only was to get it there was to have a crane lift it OVER the house and place it ever so GENTLY on the deck. Needless to say I was a basket case until it was done. Here's some pictures----sorry, they're kind of in reverse order.

The hot tub being lifted in the air by the crane--about to go over the house. (this would be the point I started biting my nails!!
















Jed, Jason (Jed's best friend) and Lynn (Jed's dad) getting the straps ready to secure around the hot tub to prepare it to take flight!

You will be amazed to know it only took the crane guy about 5 minutes to lift it up over the house and onto the deck---what a pro!!!

That is awesome! it reminds me of when Sam's family moved us out of our 4th story apartment. They tied ropes to everything and lowered it down into the trucks below!

I dont think Jed actually wanted the hot tub, he just wanted to carry through with the whole crane idea.......boys.

I still think Jed and I could have moved it by ourselves. I am tough like that. Caleb
