PIANO REPURPOSING

Customer: Kurk Waterhouse

Email Address: kdw3631@gmail.com

Phone: (734) 649-0378

Description: I'm looking to hire someone to apply finish to a barn beam mantel project, epoxy and stain. I am able to transport the 11’3” beam wherever needed. I’m looking to have epoxy resin applied into the split shown in the photo of the beam as soon as possible. I understand the epoxy is pricy and am comfortable with the expense of one’s labor to do the work.

PIANO REPURPOSING

Customer: Jen Loar

Email Address: felber79@yahoo.com

Phone: (517) 260-6140

Description: I have an old piano that has only sentimental value. No one plays. I am looking for someone to make a piece out of part of it for memory. Like a coffee table or shelf or something. I have some ideas. I have some money to pay for this of course but not a ton.

Timeline: No hard timeframe for completion. I am moving so I will need to put the piano in storage or have a plan otherwise by the end of October, but nothing needs to be completed by then.
