Got the piano moved
Thanks to everyone for all the suggestions about moving the piano in an
earlier post. We rented a Luton with a tail lift (£106 for the day). It was a piece of **** after following your suggestions. Even used a dolly and some ratchet straps. http://wiki.diyfaq.org.uk/index.php/File:Piano1.jpg Although I did think I was going to die at 7am on Friday morning when Geoff started up the van, revved the engine to 5000RPM, crunched the gears and said "I've not driven a manual for years" before letting off the clutch and wheel spinning straight out of the forecourt and into the main road. Cheers -- Adam |
