Another of those “Oh Shit!” moments
A couple in the southern Sydney suburb of Miranda yesterday were having a spa bath installed in their newly renovated home. This required a crane to lift the spa over the house and lower it into the bathroom (which must have been near the back of the house). Graham and Jacqueline Leech were standing on their back deck guiding the crane driver as he lowered the spa into the bathroom when they noticed it moving too far to the right. The crane then toppled over - the boom crashed through the length of the house, lodging in the roof and also ripping down power lines.
The two-bedroom sandstone and weatherboard home - which the couple had nearly finished renovating - was completely destroyed.
Hope everyone is well insured!

people really should watch what they are doing. Sounds like all the work that they wanted done will get done now.

I am just about to have my dishwasher serviced. I will be sure to check out their insurance.
