The moving services have been there, done that…

While for you it’s a new experience. How many times will you move in your life? 3 or 4, or if you are really adventurous or unsettled, perhaps 6 or 7. The moving services do it every day. There is nothing new for them. You have to make a move and you are all a dither and nervous and hesitant and scared. You finally settle on a couple of moving services and you ask them to come over and give you a quote. The estimator from the moving services arrives, scans your house, goes into a five second trance and hands you a piece of paper with a number on it.

What about…, what about the piano? You stammer to the moving services man. He squints at you and says what about it? We’re moving it right? Yes… but… You start to tell him that this is the baby grand that has been in the family for 200 recorded years and who knows how long before then. Family legend has it that Mozart himself…, and you see the moving services man is bored and picking his teeth while you are trying to put the price up. Never mind, you gulp, sure we’re taking the piano.
