Piano Desk

Oh the things I ask of my husband...like, 
"hey, I found a free antique piano on Craigslist that I want to convert into a desk...
we could pick it up on Friday! Cool, right?" 
Pianos are ridiculously heavy. We had a heck of a time getting it on the trailer. 
Old arthritic wheels don't roll smoothly or at all. We got it on and off we went down 94, 
me sweating bullets with envisions of that piano freeing itself and the horror that would ensue.
Getting it off the trailer was another story. 
I told Scott I don't care if the bottom gets a little wreaked so lets use the tractor and forks. 
Worked like a charm.


 
Parts came off easier than I expected.
 It was REALLY filthy! I've never seen dust bunnies like this!
I grossed myself out thinking about old skin, hair, etc...
  RUDE! But what did I expect, its over a hundred years old!
88 pieces of fireplace kindling

I'll update as I make progress
