Well everyone, the time has come… it’s moving week! Although we aren’t making the drive up to Michigan for another few weeks, we are moving out of our condo in just two short days. Whoa.  It is safe to say I have a lot left to do and not a lot of time to do it in. I owe a  HUGE  thank you to a group of friends who came over this weekend to help us pack, and I know I will owe a few more to my family after I make it out and over to my parents’ house in the near future. The biggest stress left on our TO-DO list has been finding a new place to live.  The home we were close to signing got rented over the weekend, while Scott was here in Orlando.  Total bummer. I am hoping and praying that we can avoid keeping our stuff in storage, because it doesn’t make sense to me to have to move it more than once.  Will we be able to pull something out of the woodwork by next week? Here’s hoping! (Less Than) 1 Week To Go Staying true to my word, I am not ...

By now you should be well familiar with what a professional moving company does, right? The crew members will carry all household items out of your home, will load them quickly into an awaiting moving vehicle, and then will drive off into an unknown direction. Luckily, the next time you see the movers you have hired, they will be delivering your household goods to your new address, wherever that new address might be, and usually taking them inside the new home as well. That’s what professional movers do, don’t they? Oh, wait! They can actually pack up your prized possessions prior to the move if that’s what you want too. In a nutshell, this is the general conception of the moving services offered by the best moving companies out there. However, in reality, professional movers can and often do much more in order to complete the relocation jobs they get paid to finish successfully, and that much more is known as additional services. What additional moving services transportation...

First: Know Your Instrument  Your piano is almost certainly the largest and most complex mechanical device in your home. A standard piano has 230 strings and about 10,000 separate moving parts.  This is why tuning a piano can be such an involved process. Moving it from one home to another without the utmost care can easily cause unforeseen problems. When it comes to acoustic pianos, there are two major types on the market: Grand Pianos are the type most often seen in classical amphitheaters. They have a large, harp-shaped soundboard and typically roll on caster wheels. These pianos can weigh more than 1,200 pounds, while baby grands have the same shape in a smaller frame, usually weighing around half as much. Upright Pianos are smaller, more portable instruments commonly seen in clubs, studios and homes that can’t accommodate a more massive option. Portable is a relative term here, since even a small spinet piano can weigh more than 400 pounds. If you have an upright...
