You may want your piano moved either for a concert or because you are moving to a new residence. It is not prudent to entrust the job to an ordinary mover. Moving a piano is an expert operation. The supervisor and the workers attending to the task must have experience in similar assignments and a good understanding of pianos. You can easily locate such expert movers in New York who undertake nationwide transfers. They are on call always.

Pianos differ in value, quality and age. Different methods may have to be used for each type. Proper packaging and fixing firmly in the transportation vehicle are of critical importance. They should be totally protected from shocks and jerks. For this, apart from air-ride suspension trucks, blanket wrapping and special boards are used. Some instruments have to be dismantled before packing and reassembled at destination. Expertise is essential for this procedure.

It would be wise to ask the mover for details of comparable jobs he has done in the past, and also for references. Insurance arrangements also should be ascertained. Various factors are considered while structuring the price. Distance involved is one. The type of piano is another. Even the number of steps and the kind of flooring may be considered.

On delivery at the new location, free tuning and minor repairs are carried out by most of the movers. Some would give advice on the placement of the instrument, from two different angles. One is to extend the life of the piano, like keeping it away from direct sunlight and outer walls that are not insulated. The other is to optimize the quality of the sound.

A genuine piano mover would be as much concerned about your piano’s safety as you are.

So you finally sold your home and now you need to move all your stuff from one home to your new home. Finding a reliable moving company is not easy. The moving industry has a terrible reputation. There are nightmare stories of them holding people’s stuff hostage for more money. Don’t find yourself in this situation. Before deciding on a company do your homework and give these tips a try.

Moving from one home to another is not cheap. Moving quotes generally take two things into account. The amount of stuff you need to move and how far you need to move it. You should always get at least three moving quotes. Generally, quotes are free on the internet or over the phone. Once you get a quote then you need to make sure it is in writing and that you understand the contract.

Always get several references before deciding on a moving company. Ask your friends who they have used in the past and make sure you check the BBB in your city and in the city you are moving to. Don’t rely on just what the movers say. Make sure you get other people’s opinions.

Make sure the company is bonded and insured. You don’t want to get all of your stuff stolen and then find out your company doesn’t have insurance. Also, make sure the workers are insured as well. If you need special items moved such as a piano or car then make sure your company can handle the request.

Follow the above tips and you will find that your move will go much easier. Good luck.

Whether relocation concerns a residence or business there are movers in NYC who offer customers an all inclusive one-price move that is guaranteed. Known as Flat Rate movers, the innovation introduced in 1991 offers an all inclusive, guaranteed, one-price move.

This was introduced in order to eliminate questionable pricing practices and to develop a trust among customers. They will ask details of what and where you want to move and provide you with a fixed cost estimate for the proposed move.

The service includes packing, collecting your boxes, door step delivery as well as unpacking. However the system is not without problems so you must ensure that the credentials of the company are “good”, there are no complaints with the Better Business Bureau, that the contract includes guarantees, as well as breakage or loss insurance.

You may need to take additional insurance to protect your valuables. Ask the company about this. If in doubt consult a “moving” advisor or consultant. Make time to search on the web for insights about moving and how a move can be made safe and error free.

Check the information offered on company web sites, always contact at least three companies and make a comparison table listing estimate, services, credentials, insurance and so on. Never hesitate to ask around and seek answers from the moving company to even simple questions. Most important check with Dot and the Better Business Bureau for any complaints or reports registered against the companies on your list. Surf the Web for any reviews, blogs, or articles recommending the company or issuing warnings about the company.

There is peace of mind in ensuring the safety of your possessions, so do your best to protect yourself.

And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men. Mark 1:17 NIV

There is a very interesting word in the English language called a “pattern.” It has several meanings and thus serves numerous purposes while trying to convey a thought. Some of the meaning would include: design: a repeated decorative design, e.g. on fabric; plan or model: a plan or model used as a guide for making something; prototype: an original design or model from which exact copies can be made; or a good example: a model that is considered to be worthy of imitation, just to name a few. Jesus Christ is often referred to as the “Pattern Son.” In other words, He is a Model, a Prototype or Good Example, that has been used by the Great Seamstress or Tailor of Heaven, as a guide for making something or an original design from which exact copies can be made and is considered worthy of imitation. With Christ solely established as our “pattern” in life, ministry, business, etc, let’s take a look at how He built His ministry.

The scripture above says that Jesus’ original offer to His first members, first leadership team, first staff, was: ‘Come, follow Me, and I will make you to become….!” What a deal! He didn’t lure them with a promise to hold a title. He didn’t negotiate with them for a good salary. Jesus didn’t hire a Human Resource Manager to sell the disciples on the 401K Plan and other “bennies” (benefits). Jesus offered them something greater, an opportunity to “become.” Jesus was and still is a MAKER.” He is in the Making business.

My question to the Church is, “who are the Movers and the Makers in the Church?” It seems like few are in the “making” business anymore. I get such a holy anger when I hear leaders talk about how one day God is going to send lawyers, doctors, professionals and millionaires to their church. Well, I’m all for evangelistic efforts and agree that these people have to go somewhere to be discipled, by why “your church?” Why can’t you follow Christ’s pattern and look your members in the face and say as He did, “Follow me, and I will make you become…” This is the language of a builder. Many leaders have gotten out of the making business and have resorted to the “taking” business. This mentality has originated in the world. The world calls it mergers and acquisitions. This strategy is everyone is quite while you are growing. No one seems to pay you any mind. But once you start growing, they start watching you. The moment you start becoming powerful, you are viewed as a threat or as an asset. When they can’t stand you any longer, they merge with you or “take” you. That’s the taking spirit. That devilish spirit has crept into the Church. Instead of looking at the resources that God has drawn to your house as raw material poised to be transformed into greatness, many leaders look daily at their church’s front door waiting and praying to God to send ready made product through the door. We want other people’s singers to lead our choirs; other people’s intercessors to lead us in prayer; other people’s ministers to preach to us and other people’s leaders to lead us. Trading talent in the Church has become rampant and fierce. But why? Because it has become much easier to “take” than to “make”. Take my word for it; the “making process” takes hard work. It’s tedious and strenuous. The making process takes patience and endurance.

For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God.

In Hebrews 11:10, the Bible records that when Abraham was called to do what he had never done before and go where he had never gone, he obeyed and went looking for a city. This wasn’t just any city but a city whose foundation had been marked by a Maker, a Builder- God. The word “maker” in the scripture means a builder, a framer, an artisan.

That’s what sons in the body of Christ need today-master builders, framers, artisans. Those that will “make them become.” The sons of today no longer need the experience of the “takers.” These are leaders that are so inundated with trying to build a dynasty that they have neglected to build those around them. And as a result, they continually pray to the Father for Him to send them “trained servants.” This is especially true in the Western world because we vie for a life of luxury where everything is pre-made for us. We live in “prefab” homes built in factories, wear synthetic hair, glue on acrylic nails, implant silicone breast, get our ordinations and doctorate degrees online and are now trying to perfect facial transplants. Who has the time to “make” anyone become anything? I hear God speaking.

There is a gold mine in every local church. The challenge is that the “gold” is in a raw form in the beginning. They are called the Ministry of Helps. They are the Ephesians 4:12 saints that are to be perfected (equipped, completed, made) to carry out the work of the ministry by the 5-fold ministry gifts (apostle, prophet, evangelist, pastor and teacher). The raw form needs to come in contact with builders and framers that will make them become something. Every leader must recognize the potential of their ministry of helps (see I Cor. 12:28). God has already sent enough help and resources in what you have already to maximize the level that you are on right now. Your Ministry of Helps just needs to be identified, refined, activated and then mobilized.

The ministry of helps is more than a group of volunteers, more than individuals who say, “Pastor, you can count on me this time,” more than a bunch of folks saying, “I want to try this area out, and if it doesn’t pan out, I’ll try this. Just as long as the Pastors see me, I’ll eventually get to where I’m going!” No! The ministry of helps is not a springboard for someone’s own “higher calling.”

The Ministry of Helps is a supernatural calling. Just what is a “calling”? A calling is a “divine invitation,” to be called forth by name, by God.

People who are called to the ministry of helps are to carry the same burden and vision of carrying the Gospel as the Pastor or other five-fold ministry gift. Responsibilities will differ, but the heart cry should be the same. The sooner the ministry of helps see themselves as extensions of their pastors, the sooner ministries will begin to experience the full manifestation of God’s Presence in their church services. The ministry of helps plays a very important supportive role in ministry.

In conclusion, remember this: when it was time for Abram to go pick a fight with his enemy, he didn’t go hire help. Do you know why? He had built men, strong warriors, trained servants from the inside. They were born and raised in his own house. He probably never prayed, “God send me mighty men to come help me.” But he probably did pray, “Make the men that You’ve given me mighty!”

When Abram heard that his relative had been taken captive, he led out his trained men, born in his house, three hundred and eighteen, and went in pursuit as far as Dan. Gen. 14:14 NASB.

Idan Lavi asked:




Moving can be a very stressful time for anyone involved. From the packing to the unpacking, it can feel like your life is a jumbled mess. For the first-time mover, however, the knots in the stomach can be even worse. Questions will, no doubt, arise about how to handle a move, whether to tip movers, when to shut off the water, etc. In the case of the dealing with professional movers, there are some basic rules of the road to follow.

The first thing to keep in mind when it comes to handling the movers themselves is that tipping is optional in this industry. That means the movers in question do not rely on tips to get by. This, of course, isn’t to say they don’t appreciate them when they get them. However, a tip at the end of the job is not expected.

That said, there might be times when tipping movers is in order. If you feel the job has been done exceptionally well, it’s perfectly acceptable to give your thanks in the form of a cash bonus. Before you jump in and expect to pay a ton in tips over and above the moving fees, however, ask yourself a few questions. Remember, tips in this industry are optional, so service should be spectacular to warrant them.

Before tipping consider these things:

• Did the movers you hired work in a timely fashion? Did they arrive on time and deliver your belongings within the stated window?

• Did the movers on the job treat your belongings like they were their own or did they act as if it was just another job on just another day?

• Were the movers polite, courteous and willing to work with you?

• Did the movers go above and beyond to get the job done well?

If you answered yes to these questions, a tip for the moving crew is probably in order. There are two basic forms of tips that are standard in this industry. Either is more than appropriate in the case of a job well done. They are money, refreshments or both!

If you decide to tip your movers by offering them lunch on you, this is a more than acceptable way to show your appreciation. Go the extra mile though and find out what they’d like to eat and drink. While moving means pizza and beer day for you, it’s likely pizza day comes a whole lot for your movers. With this in mind, it’s a very nice gesture to let them pick the place or style of food.

Tipping in cash is also more than acceptable when a job’s been performed to the highest standards. Don’t worry about trying to figure out percentages to pay each mover based on the job, however. A flat tip is more than fine. On average, most movers will get a $20 tip for a full day’s work and $10 for a half day. You can, of course, go over or under this amount.

Moving can be a real nightmare. From figuring out a timetable for getting everything done to deciding whether to tip the movers, the process can seem like an endless stream of questions. When it comes to paying the movers a little extra for their troubles, remember this is an expense you don’t have to incur, but it will be appreciated.
