The dining room table I have used to sit in the dining room at my great aunts' home in Salladasburg, PA. That room had such a warped floor that you'd often times trip on the lump that ran under the table. Because this is one of those old ones with six legs (two V-shaped sections) they simply set it so the legs straddled the hump.

The good thing about all of those old pieces of furniture, you can usually take them apart, and it pays to have the patience to dismantle them before moving. They come out in much better shape that way.

Moved the upright grand piano. I'm not going to try anything else in that room tonight, but I think I've just freed up some nice floor space in there. And I've put tall things against the full wall, not the "pony wall" (half-height, with turned dowels up to the ceiling) so now you'll be able to get more light and view into that room. I'm next going to consider how many old trunks need to be moved around or out of there so the couch goes into an interesting spot (where it can open for sleeping--it's a comfortable futon). Right now it's in the middle of the room.
