The Big Move - Part 2 - a.k.a. The Floating Piano

---

Well, we are all breathing a sigh of relief - we have successfully shifted the second and final load of stuff from my grandmother's house in Vancouver to my parents' place in Bamfield so, at long last, the Big Move is over. This truckload featured such delights as a dozen concrete Besser blocks (my Mum's crazy idea - why, we shall never know), several garbage bags full of raspberry bushes (dirt, leaves and all) and, as the pièce de résistance, an unbelievably heavy, full-size upright piano. How on earth do you move a piano into a house on a small island with no roads and only accessibly by boat? The mind boggles. Let's just say it involved a crane, a herring skiff and the brute force of five strong men. The pictures say the rest...

A sight you don't see every day...

Besser Blocks and All
Dad, why are we packing an old plank of wood?

But we still have to get it out to the island!

Into the House
After all this, I really think one of us should take up playing ;-)
