So I went down and talked to the second welding instructor. Asking him only for a referral for a welder in the area.
He said, "Now wait a minute, let me check with the guys' (i.e. the guys in the three classes he is teaching), 'to see if any of them could used the money."
I will track him down on Wednesday to find out if anyone can help, and if NOT if he can finally give me a referral!!

No Welding Today
So I got to my welder.
"I'm really sorry but...."
For various reason's he won't be able to do the welding, but I should check with the 'other' school welder on Monday... Which I will because if I don't he'll (The First Welder) hear that I didn't talk to him (The Second Welder). Which will probably lead to "I'm to busy.." I hope because then I won't have to wait again for the second welder at the school to work it into his class schedule. Because IF he had called me at the first week of class when he knew there was going to be a problem I could have talked to the second welding teacher and MAYBE, he could have worked it into his class schedule.
Relief: Now that I know that I have to hire a welder, I might be able to get back on schedule to work on the vardo during spring break!

No movement: Thinking about the roof.
So I dashed over to the welders tonight to see him about getting the welding done in time for my vacation so I could take the two weeks I have coming to get things going.
There is no one there. So either they cancelled class tonight or it's on different night this term. Annoyed, I returned to work. I'll take on the whole welding problem tomorrow.
So for now during my vacation,m I plan on working on the two long walls and starting to build the trusses for the roof. Its the roof that I'm thinking about in this post. A curved roof for a vardo is lovely, but it may be beyond my skill and tool level to build. I am thinking of putting a traditional roof on and turning the Celtic Vardo into a Viking Longship. It would be easier to build and would provide me extra storage in the rafters above the living areas.
Now what would I do to make the rest of the outside to look appropriate.
This is still all conjecture of course, until the welding gets done. Deep sigh.
The good news is that the kiggies are running around the house in victory laps and are much MUCH happier.

In the new house
I'm in the new house and completely exhausted. I am sorting out boxes as fast as I can and purchasing building materials for the vardo.
Which continues to sit un-welded at the welders....
One step forward and three back;
292 days til Texas Ren Faire: This year I will go in comfort!
26 days until my two week vacation when I can do (alot of ) the build.
On as side note the laptop is starting to die, so I may have to get a new one soon.
