So they are demolishing the houses on the other side of the street to
make 30 story 'condos'.

Folks have been scrounging lots of stuff so my wife and I decided to go
in one of the last ones last night just to look and down in the basement
was a 1901 upright grand piano.

I came home and checked out the make and age using the serial number on
the net and they are selling from 600 to $1500.00.

So my kid got a few of his friends and my nephew showed up and I took my
CJ7 over across the site to the back door, we put my 3" wide ******
strap and blue camping foam around the piano with a couple boards on the
stairs and I fired up my Warn XD9000i winch.

Well, it came right up out of there likity split with the boys balancing
it. I then was planning on pulling it across the boards to dirt, move
boards, repeat, repeat, but the wheels dug into the back cedar plank I
was using so the boys just balanced it and it came home on a custom
'ski'.

An old friend stopped by today out of the blue for a visit, looked at it
and gave me $500.00 for it. He is coming back to move it at his
expense.

Cool, that was about a half hour's work. I have to put on a rib BBQ
with escargot to start with home made biscuits made into strawberry
shortcakes for the helpers.

Nice piano, it was still in tune and only one ivory has a slight chip.

I wish someone would drive by and winch the beat up old P. W. Levermann
upright from my living room. Can't find any info on it. Maybe its worth
a fortune.

LOL!

My 'kid' is 6'2" and 180 lb with friends as big. The days of taking
'advantage' of him/them are long over.... ;-)
