Our New Piano

The pictures loaded backwards, so you may want to go to the end of this post and read up!

Here is the piano in its temporary home in the dining room. I'd like to move it into the front room eventually. I also need to research how to safely sand it down and re-stain it either a darker brown or a black. And it will need to be tuned. But for $10 (gas money for the guy with the trailer), this was too good to pass up! Now Braden needs piano lessons :)

The guys rolling to into the dining room. (Pat, Scott, Jon, and R.J.)


Jon guiding it into the house.


Here it comes! The ramp and the fact that the piano is on wheels made it pretty easy for these big guys!


This is where the piano had been sitting for the past month or two.... waiting for us to come and get it. (the post-it note on the piano has my name on it!)
When the church cleaned house a while back, they had this piano and another piano that they were going to junk. I happened to be there helping that morning and put my name on the better of the 2 pianos! All we had to do was get it home!
And Saturday morning was the big day! The Mulls, who were taking the other piano, had a family member with access to a trailer with a ramp. The men all met at the church, loaded them up, and dropped them off at the houses. I think it took longer driving than it did moving pianos, thanks to the great help they had!
