Tom Raymond Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 I'd advise allowing the piano to dry for several weeks before removing it. Pianos are heavy, wet pianos are fooking heavy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bain Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 The dolls render it just eerie enough for one's imagination to rev until you see and hear a ghost-child plinking out some simplistic melody over and over and over again.

emalernee Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 Sure it's a Hazard, that doll could topple over and hit you in the head while you are tickling the keys. If it was in CA it would require a couple straps around it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Posted October 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 This doll could not make the swim to safety! Click to Enlarge 69.97 KB I was called to this site because the other home inspector reported evidence of mold in the basement. He couldn't be sure it was mold without testing. I did a visual test and confirmed mold. He wanted 145.00 to test. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtblum Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 What happened to that place? I don't remember seeing anything about a flood in Michigan. It's a damn shame that piano was ruined. It's almost as disturbing as watching Pete Townshend smash a perfectly good guitar on stage. He really pisses me off.[] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Posted October 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 Gary, nearly every repo (40,000 in mid-Michigan) has the power turned off. Most houses have basements and about 60% have sump pits and pumps. No power = no pump = flood. Almost all older basements will flood to abt 42" during the wet times of the year, if there is no pump. This info is anecdotal based on my knowledge and experiences. Where is Walter J when I need him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kogel Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 This doll could not make the swim to safety! Click to Enlarge 69.97?KB That's not just a doll. It's Howdy Doodee! I was called to this site because the other home inspector reported evidence of mold in the basement. He couldn't be sure it was mold without testing. I did a visual test and confirmed mold. He wanted 145.00 to test. Well, maybe it ain't Howdy Doodee, but I could test him for freckles if you like. [] It is a crying shame to see damage like that, with no shortage of skilled and knowledgeable people that could have prevented it, given the chance. All those evictions ended up costing the banks big time, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spider Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 First you have to try to dry this piano because without drying you are not able to use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
