Any Piano Players out there
I remember helping move a piano into the basement of a buddy. His wife wanted it. I also remember getting it wedged on the staircase going down. Man did that suck. We had to get it unstuck, then get it back up the stairs so we could remove the top. My buddy said if they ever moved that was staying.
I love to listen to music and have seen some wonderful piano players. I'm by far no expert, but some questions I would ask are:
1. Where will it go in the house?
2. How will it get there? Can it get there?
3. Will the floor support a real piano? Some don't.
If the answers support a real piano, then it comes down to a personal choice of a real or electronic version.
My little sister (we're 21 years apart) uses a baby grad that my grandparents had. So that wasn't a hard choice.
Good luck figuring it out. Not always an easy decision.

By golly, I think you have an answer.
The electric has got to sound better than the wind ripping my roof off today. Oh well, that's life on a hill...

Sheet steel roofing. Sounds like great stuff if based on life expectancy. Oe of the big things to look into is transfer of sound. I took classes in a steel-roofed building in Des Moines. They had basic insulation for heat. The main problem was you couldn't hear anything when it rained or hailed. The instructors would put on the microphones and crank up the volume. There were times when that didn't even work.
My stepdad and his buddies installed a steel roof on their hunting cabin. Snow slides right off and so do the Turkeys. First night after they installed it they heard the "thunk" and "screech" of Turkeys trying to stand on the roof only to slide off.
50 years would be great life for a roof. I just worry about the noise.
My main problem is a shallow roof pitch and the previous owner/builder used the cheapest shingles on the market. I have no trees big enough yet to provide protection from the west/southwest winds. I won't have trees big enough for at least another 10-15 years. Oh well.
Hardwood, where in Iowa are you out of?

Ok, that doesn't sound so bad if they are leaving most of the existing roof structure. I was worried they'd strip off the roof to the bare rafters. HEck, those old home were built pretty solid. More solid than mine house was built. I'm getting tired of playing roof repairer.
But then, the view is really nice from the top of the hill. I over look a valley north of Colfax in Jasper county.
I hadn't considered the effect of standing in the wrong spot when the snow cuts loose! I should though since my shop does the same thing. But I don't park next to it.
