1. Enlist the help of several strong friends or family members who love you enough to want to help you with this difficult and mundane task.2. Stand around staring at the piano.
3. Stand around staring at the stairs it needs to go up.
4. Discuss the merits of various methods of moving pianos up flights of stairs (this step may take up to an hour.)
5. Find a half dozen small, nimble children to dart in and out amongst the piano movers' legs, make lots of noise, and make inconvenient requests while said piano is halfway up the stairs (for reasons known only to small children, this is seen as being tremendously helpful.)
6. Move the piano up the stairs, and into its new position (this step may take up to 5 minutes.)
7. Offer sincere thanks and undying gratitude, as well as offers of reciprocal help, the the piano-moving volunteer crew.
This process may be used to move any type of heavy, awkward item up or down stairs. Here's another fun game we also played today: how to stuff a 7-foot sofa in to the trunk of a compact car. If you haven't yet guessed, we're doing some remodeling...stay tuned for more do-it-yourself fun!
