We prepared by taking everything out of the attic, garage and basement for examination in our drive way area and front yard.

Before placing your yard sale posters on someone’s lawn, be sure to ask permission from the homeowner. Although some cities claim rights to the strip of land along the curb, many homeowners are either unaware or do not care, and thus may take offense. Just like any professional Realtor, get the homeowner’s approval before you prop a sign on their lawn. In addition, telephone poles, stop signs and other official city equipment is never appropriate to hang a personal sign. Rather, park one of your vehicles along a major road with your yard sale signs in the back window.

Prune or remove trees. Having trees in your yard that are too large or have overgrown limbs can make your yard seem unkempt and disorganized. There may be some trees in your yard that have continued to grow for years without any maintenance and now look as if they have outgrown their surroundings. Start this spring by trimming those trees and bushes that have grown out of control, or even remove trees that no longer belong in your landscape. You can always plant a new tree in a different location. By doing some simple landscaping maintenance to your trees, your yard will look well groomed and your trees will stay healthy all season.

Some medium level studio pianos will fit in this price category and present a better instrument musically since the cabinet is plain.
