Today, our 245th wedding anniversary (in months, in case you are wondering), our piano was disassembled into 8 pieces at the antiques store on Memorial and packed up to travel the 789 miles to Friendsville, TN, where Michael Stinnett of Antique Piano Shop will restore it to much (if not all) of its former beauty. The restoration process should take about 8-12 months.
Of course, since we don't want to have to take receipt of it in a rental property, that means that somehow (yeah, really) we have to get the remodel of our house back underway. Neither of our work situations are very conducive to time off right now, but we're going to have to figure out where we can carve out some time to rethink our remodeling strategy and get moving ourselves.
If any of you want to volunteer some extra hours in your day, I'm all ears! :)
Here's a little video of clips I shot today of the packing up process. It was all very professionally done by Modern Piano Movers from Missouri and I was pretty impressed at how smoothly it came apart for something that is 157 years old!
