Moving Grandma’s Piano alone Pavel Buchnevich Rangers Jersey , even with the help of friends, is an invitation for disaster. In the best scenario, Grandma may never speak to you again. Chance it if you will, but a bullet-proof vest might come in handy if you ignore this warning. To find out why – read on while you still can!
The trouble begins when Grandma decides to give her prize possession to a family member so that one of the grandkids can experience the joy of piano lessons. What no one suspects when this is announced is the chain-reaction of bad karma that will befall the first manly-man in the family who flexes his muscles and says, “Hey, no problem Brady Skjei Rangers Jersey , Grandma. Me and a couple of buddies can move that for you!”
Little does this muscle-bound Samaritan know when he drives up to Grandma’s in his fancy pick-up truck, loaded to the gills with three of his best friends and a six-pack or two, the trouble he has invited into his life. To the uninitiated, moving Grandma’s piano doesn’t sound like a big deal. And it isn’t if you have the right equipment and knowhow, but Joe Sixpack and his neighborhood chums typically don’t have a clue when it comes to safely moving Grandma’s precious heirloom piano.
Now, I’m not talking about a Concert Grand Piano here. One of those nine-foot long behemoths Rick Nash Rangers Jersey , clocking in at nearly 1,000 pounds, would scare the bejesus out of any weight-lifter I’ve ever met. If Grandma had one of those, you can bet none of the family would be crazy enough to tackle this job on their own. They would hire professionals who had the right knowhow and equipment. End of story.
However, Grandma’s darling little spinet or console piano is such a tiny creature in comparison. It stands a mere 36 to 44 inches tall, and slides right up against the wall to present a cute little package with which to trap the innocent. It appears harmless David Desharnais Rangers Jersey , but packed within that cozy wooden frame is a mass of iron and steel hefty enough to break the backs of you and your neighborhood chums if you don’t approach it with the hidden respect it deserves.
So, exactly how much does Grandma’s piano actually weigh? You’re looking at between 300 and 400 pounds for the typical vertical piano, and nary a descent corner to grab onto at that. So, when you and your three buddies approach this smiling beast (assuming the keys are exposed), you’re each looking at trying to lift about 100 pounds per person with the tips of your fingers.
Meanwhile, Grandma sits quietly in the corner with a stern look on her face Michael Grabner Rangers Jersey , sliding 45 rounds into Grandpa’s revolver. This would be the moment to exit gracefully, but as you might guess, most of us manly-men would rather dodge bullets than admit to the fact that some jobs are best left for experts.
I won’t tell you all the things that can go wrong once the fateful die is cast, because I found an absolutely hilarious, two minute video, on You-Tube that says it far better than I could ever express. This video is so funny Kevin Shattenkirk Rangers Jersey , I recommend watching it even if Grandma doesn’t own a piano.
In conclusion, I’ll say it again. There are some jobs that should be left for experts, and moving a piano, any piano, is one of them.
