We're back. Finally after 9 hours of driving and 20 minutes of actual
"moving." I swear I felt like one of the Beverly Hillbillies creeping
down the road (50 MPH on the interstate) with a pianny in the truck with
four chairs dangling over the side...and a mattress, box spring, bed
frame, headboard, footboard....
The piano is now outside in the truck, because although we were able to
get it ON the truck, there's no foreseeable way of getting it off...
We backed the truck up to my grandma's front porch and had my big strong
cousins from next door help Scott roll it over to the truck's bed. Yes,
it did indeed weigh as much as a small Italian car.
The problem now is that we don't have a front porch. Even if we did the
pathway is crooked and we wouldn't be able to back up to it. I could go
rent a U-Haul for an hour just for the purpose of using its ramp, but
we'd still have an issue of getting it over the stoop. Heh. Guess we
should have thought of that, huh?
Unless we find 4 or 5 beefy guys to volunteer their services (volunteer
as in "free"), Mr. Piano will have a light coat of snow on it come Sunday.
It'll make a pretty lawn ornament.
