A new Vardo on the horizon: Hornbys Sandpiper

Nice huh: It's only their second, but very pretty!

Hail Mary Pass

Did you know that American Football is the only sport in the world that has a play that is named after a religious act.

The Hail Mary Pass:

–noun

1.

Ave Maria.

2.

Also called Hail Mary pass, Hail Mary play . a long forward pass in football, especially as a last-ditch attempt at the end of a game, where completion is considered unlikely.

And so the possibility of the house closing on Friday as planned is a long shot. 

Just in time for the debt ceiling default, I won't be getting that great a interest rate on the next house. 

There is a 10 day window after the July 30th that maybe they might get it together.. and I could still say ok and keep the pretty good deal i currently have.  But I'm probably going to have to go shopping again and lay out another 250 for another home inspection and 90 for another termite inspection...

But really, there if very little chance of this going through. The house will go to foreclosure and that' that, because it will then be months before it's back on the market and I won't get it at the great price let alone the great rate I had set up...

And because of the 10 day window that they (The bank, The sellers, Whomever) can't really go house shopping until August 11th. Which pushes me into September for moving. 

Virtually banging my head against the wall.

 

To pack or not to pack.

I'm three days away to find if I get the house, I might find out something on Wednesday.

But I'm sitting here in a half packed up house wondering if I will have to pack everything else and get out of the rent house from brown by Sunday at midnight or I'll  unpack everything and start over.

Which still doesn't help with either buy or building the vardo.

Not a happy camper

I just found out that the water system that the previous tenants installed is not only broken, installed improperly, but get this. NOT PAID FOR.

There is therefore a lien on the house to the tune of $3000. Which if it is not taken care of by the sellers by the closing date, I will either a) have to postpone the closing, moving me into August and therefore fall prep, for the Fall Term at school, or b) loose the house all together. 

Both options mean that I will be set back even further on working on the vardo. And realistically there will be little chance of me being able to have it up and ready to go for the Texas Ren Fest this fall.

Sigh.

Well I can always rent for the week.

Sigh.

Total Spent Question

Just a wandering thought that is floating through my head.

Should I include the price of the house in the price of the vardo?

I'm right up front about the fact that I am buying the house, so I can finally work on the vardo.

So should the cost of the house be included?

Or should I only include the cost of the vardo to include the trailer and wood and other items that would actually be needed or attached to the vardo?

Might questions indeed.

VARDO PLANS:

Ok the Vardo plans that I have NEVER been able to find are now ON SALE on @
