And if stairs are involved, its really worth it! I would love to come and help, but piano moving's not my strong (!) point. well, there are times when you gotta bite the bullet and pay the professionals.

However, for some bizarre reason, I purchased a piano a few years ago from some friends who used to live in my building and decided to move but didn't want to pay the movers to move the piano (can you say: sucker!). Anyway, I am rather romantically attached to the idea of owning a piano (and have no one to sell it to) and so must now face the music (no pun intended) and hire movers. Unless either of you want to come and lift a piano - then, of course, be my guest. :-) Jane and Sarah: I appreciate the “just ask friends” advice, and believe you me, if I had a choice then I would definitely go this route.

I'd start now fishing about for moving helpers...see what they'd want in exchange. Pizza or beer often does the trick. howdy- things that dont cost money….a bubble bath…a nap. go out and watch the sunset over one of those lakes up there…?

Save money on movers by inviting a strong friend over for lunch or whatever in return for a couple hours moving. I could be that friend... Celebrate by giving yourself a day off… everything!
