When opportunity knocks you open the door right, or in our case we demo a piano.
We got an opportunity to upgrade our piano. Neither of us play but we are hoping that one day our kids will. Who am I kidding it won't really be an option for them actually, but that's beside the point. Our old piano was a craigslist freebie find. The family that owned it before us were moving and couldn't take it with them. They started their own renovation but I am quite sure this was not what they had in mind.
Avery helped Uncle Nathan pull away the bottom front panel and loosen up some other things underneath.
She was quite happy to do so as you can see. That helped us detach the front of the piano completely.
She also helped Papa with some very large blots holding the giant back metal piece that had a large part with the strings.
Levi also helped in the back with some little baby wrenches just his size.
At the end of last night we removed a giant seemed to be cast iron metal thing, and cut and removed the bulk of the wires.
My job now is removing the rest of the wires, then next I get to remove all of those pins that the wires were wrapped around. Fun hey!? Well, that part might be a pain in the neck but I have a feeling it will be worth it in the end.
Hopefully progress wont be too slow in this piano redo project, but at least we started out with a bang. Hopefully I will be to report some new progress soon! Until next time, enjoy pondering what in the world I am doing to my piano.
I can't wait to see it! When you're done, c'mon over and paint the livingroom with me! Hee hee! You see, in my rich fantasy life, projects actually get finished up! ;)
