It was a good deal for me, because the young men were all experienced in what in German is so often called "event management", moving stuff for concerts, and they had to carry my (small but heavy...) piano up to the first floor where I live. One of them pulled his back and had to go home, and I now had gotten rid of my old kitchen which I didn't need here anyway - there was already one fitted when I bought the place :-)<br /><br />I am trying to picture your son's house with the kitchen up- and the living room downstairs; sounds like an unusual arrangement.<br /><br />Hopefully, Clare's boss will soon get back to you!Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3132582821010486689.post-89641635704129528322012-05-18T13:34:03.588+01:002012-05-18T13:34:03.588+01:00Bet your daughter-in-law just loved that deceased ...Bet your daughter-in-law just loved that deceased relative so much.
