John: So this is something people don’t realize. It’s something you’ll use a lot of, but you don’t know you need it.

Adam: Oh, one of those deals. Okay.

John: This is for lifting things an inch or two off the ground with no work. And it’s not like a cabinet jack. These are cheap. They usually come in pairs. And they are air-powered. You squeeze it.

This is called an Air Shim.

And the search you want to do to get the better ones is “Air Shim Pro XL“.

And Mimi uses these all the time. We have a piano up in the Port Angeles house, and one of the casters broke. And you put the air shim under the piano, and you can pump it up, and it lifts the piano about two inches off the ground in the corner. And then you can put the new caster on it and lower it back down. Now you can move the piano around. That’s one example. You can use it to lift up appliances. And it’s just one of those screwball products that nobody even knows they need.

Adam: Does anyone up there play the piano?

John: Jay can play the piano.

Adam: Jay can play the piano?

John: Yeah.

Adam: Oh, is she good at it?

John: No.
