Crane + spa = fail

Hmm, looks like they should have just used the big crane in the first place.

can you buff a house?

If buffing includes nails, lumber and lots of labor, yes.

i guess someone forgot to pull the drain plug...

that picture is classic though, guy standing there scratching his head "how the hell did that happen?"

actually, baxter, this could be a candidate for the "just hit it with a hammer" page. maybe rotating through a suite of clever photos

I wonder if the crane operator skipped the "This is a big frigging lever, and this is what can happen" class.

that would be a good opportunity to do an oil change and chassis lube on the truck, as well as replace any bushings that needed done.

I thought this had something to do with the race track in Belgium...

Cranes are indeed used at Spa-Francorchamps:

Bet it wouldn't have tipped if he was lifting over the rear of the crane. Lifting over the side is a big no-no.

very true.. he committed a grave crane sin

I usually just go around to the back of the house to get things into the backyard, never really thought of hoisting something over the roof.
