We got the piano and organ moved this a.m. with the help of a couple of fine young men (Isaiah Jensen and Roger Mulderink, the son of the people who are moving in here). Ever since we started moving the piano, there has always been one bolt that seemed to go in really hard, as though it was in crooked or something. This was the move that it decided to jam completely. We tried a lot of things, but ended up having to cut it off with a reciprocating saw. Not something you want to see anywhere near your piano! But without it, we were not going to get the leg off and without the leg off, we weren’t going anywhere. We put the piano back together with just one bolt on that leg and it is fine, actually. We just have to remember to give that leg a little extra support if we ever want to move it around in the room. But sitting still, one bolt is plenty in just that one leg.
The organ went in without a hitch. The black bookcase gave us headaches as we tried to cut it down to size to fit the low ceilings, but once it is in, it completely hides the door behind it, just like I’d imagined it would!
We also moved the chest freezer, since it moves particularly easily with the piano dolly. Now I am off to return the piano dolly to the rental place.
Yay–more steps closer to being done! 🙂
