Day 661 The Old Joanna

30th May 2019

Move out, clean up day 6

I added the skirting to the entry way to allow Kelli to bring her glass door cabinet that holds all her winter hats and gloves. It is the last piece of furniture to be given a place, and it looks good there.

I started on the dismantling of the piano. I knew it wasn’t going to be easy, but I tried to approach it as a reverse assembly project.

I did pretty well up to the point of trying to separate the big steel casting from the wooden frame. Some of the fixing screws were beneath the strings, meaning the strings were added last.

I had reached a dead end, the only option left was to be brutal and remove as much casing as I could.

I ended the day with just the big heavy bastard frame to move upstairs tomorrow.

Kelli did her magic again and got rid of more unwanted shit, including some old dolls and toys. They disappeared into the back of a truck and was gone. One lady was even going through tins of old paint we had stacked up ready to dispose of.

I even managed to get rid of the nine sheets of OSB that I had bought last year, so even space in our new garage is freeing up.
