We started getting ready for the piano arrival by moving our living room Oriental rug enough to make room for the piano so it would rest on our hardwood floor and not the rug. (Thanks to our wonderful neighbor and helper, Russ).  Al guided them as backed up close enough to get the ramp onto the porch and then the piano came down the truck's ramp and over to our porch.  The hardest part was 'squeezing' it through our front door.  Once inside we re-hung my Grandmother's mirror above the piano and the piano looked absolutely perfect and like it had been there 'forever'. Both are from the same period, our house was built in 1923 and the piano 1904.
