Las Vegas, NevadaA guy giving a piano away from facebook was hesitant with having anyone in his house to get the piano he was offering. It took time over a period of a few weeks going back and forth until he felt safe enough. He is a pastor starting a church. It was not easy making all the arrangements between finding a few guys to help, getting a van, waiting for responses and trying to time it all to happen. I had no idea if it would happen until we were all at the pastors condo. I asked Pete the owner of the flower shop where the 1st piano is placed if he would help with his van again. He said yes and hired a guy to help.
A new friend Daniel who is difficult to pin down gave me a date he could deal with, I asked the pastor if he could be more flexible with the times he gave me and my crazy friend Dave who began to get in the way with what to do and how to do it was there. It happened! I myself stayed out of the way and let the guys lifting the piano figure out for themselves what they wanted to do. This piano had three landings flights of steps to go down. It was a very hard thunk on each step, so hard I thought the piano was going to fall apart but, job accomplished! The piano was super heavy. We took it to Arts square downtown, a perfect spot that has a little bit of shade.
