On Hold

Due to circumstances beyond my control, my building a vardo will be placed On Hold  indefinitely.

Thank you for all of you who have been watching my little blog about my vardo, and I hope to continue with the build at some future date.


Update:  May 13th 2012

For those that might be interested in why the Vardo is on hold. The situation at work continues to be vicarious, thus placing my Vardo dreams in suspension. If the situation changes, then I can not be in the middle of the build should I need to move on. Which leaves me two options. Continue to purchase materials to build and hope. OR simply bank the funds for better days. I'm going with the banking the funds option.

Wood and a Wood Update.

Ok so I still have no welder:

But the wood that has been sitting over at the construction site just rotting unless we get it out of the rain and dried out:

Is free to a good home. I know what I'm doing tomorrow!

Also, There are no pics because I lost my phone in Austin and am waiting until I get it back. Sorry folks.

UPDATE: There is a lot more wood in that wood pile then I thought. I have grabbed quite a bit.  Now more than 90% will have to be cut down as the ends have clusters of nails though them. Using them for wall support or stabilizing boards I suspect.   I may even go back for a second load before it rains.

Home at last:

With the help of a friend who has been backing up trailers for years, I was able to get the trailer out of the back lot of the college and home in the garage.

I'll get a picture here when it is light out tomorrow.

I am officially on vacation for two weeks so I'll be working on (Instead of building the floor...) the welding I need done. I think it might have been faster if I'd have signed up for the fast track welding class at the college and then I could have done it myself.

Other than getting everything out of the boxes and sorted, I'll be sewing and working on the vardo.

UPDATE: Sewing going well, but still no welder on the horizon. Will continue to try to find one. Sigh.
