[Coleman, Jim]

Yes I do.  Three uprights are ready to be destroyed.  One is a player.

That might make a good Chapter fundraiser, get about 5 pianos together and bring in a couple hundred bucks,

Jim - do you still have those pianos in the backyard?

I always just bust up what I can, take the loose pieces and take the rest to the dump. I get maybe half that but it only takes me about an hour from start to finish (all tools put away). I love to swing that sledge hammer. Cathartic, if you know what I mean.

No kidding! :-)

It was a fun time with the kids though as they helped and I used the $40 to take them out for ice cream. So my net profit was even lower.

You need to learn to work faster. You could have made $7.50.
