I showed this one how to grab the drop lifter wires with the vicegrips and remove and replace the elbows while I crunched the old plastic out of the wips. Forgot about leaning the piano against the wall, though, which would have been easier on the back. >> Tom: YUou are really asking for trouble when you get the customer now involved in this rather delicate job. YOU are the professional and I doubt if your friendly Automobile Garage Professional would have you shlepping around under your auto while he fixes something and lets you help. Let's get serious- and be professional in what we do. Kinda reminds me of a photo I once saw of a cabin front in rural Alabama. On the porch were several signs. The first said:Live Bait Sold Here; the second said Tires sold and changed; and the third said:Piano Tuning. Bob Bergantino, RPT An avowed do-it-yourselfer who knows the boundaries.
