The owner bought the pool from a house that was about to go into foreclosure.  He hired us to remove the pool, bring it to his house and then reinstall it.  We were able to use a crane for removal, but we couldn’t use a crane to install the pool because the new location was behind the house and out of reach.  This fall (2009) has been very wet.  After the dig we had to set well points to get the hole dry and then use our equipment to drag the fiberglass pool to the hole.  The whole operation went really well with no damage to the pool from start to finish, and, yes we’ve done it before.  After we plumb and backfill the pool, install the pool deck and put up the fence, the new owner will have an installed pool at about half the cost of a new one.
