Default 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

If you had two pence to rub together, you would have hired people to do that kind of job.

Wondered what that did to the tuning of the piano.

I didn't realise it was a woman until she played the piano

Would they protect against a full size grand piano falling on them?

That scene towards the end, shot from the bottom of the stairs, where
the lady starts the machine down the stairs ... That took some courage
on the part of the cameraman. If the straps broke or something went
inside the machine and it started to freewheel, for example.
