My dh beginning "his pick".
Expertly lifted, don't you think?
The rain held off and we were able to move the piano without having to wrap it in tarps.
Here is the piano positioned near the window well. Now my dh expertly designed our large window well in such a way that we could get large objects in and out of the windows to the basement and that planning paid off in a big way in getting the piano downstairs. The piano and the piano dolly we used fit in the window well with just a few inches all around to spare.
We're beginning to lower the piano down into the window well. I wish I had more pictures of the actual lowering but I had to help guide the piano so it didn't break the window.
We got it down into the well and put it on two boards. Then we rolled it onto the ramps and into the basement.
The final result!
By the way, when the boys weren't helping us, they made up a new game. They tried to catch falling leaves before the leaves touched the ground.

Your window well reminds me of the egress window we had in Midland. Yours looks very nicely built, too. Was that something you added on to the house after you purchased it?
Congratulations on your nice new piano. Who will be the first to take lessons in the family?

We added the window well to the house when we put the big windows in the basement a couple of years after we moved in.
Our two oldest have been taking lessons for a year. Aaron just started this year. Deb and I will follow soon. We had a smaller electronic keyboard that they practiced on this past year. I wanted to make sure that they would like playing before we invested in a real piano.
