Hi Chris,
I am still living in the trailer park, but it is a nice park and I have met some new friends here. Things are progressing very well though.
My old house isn't selling, and since I found and bought the truck camper last week, I decided it was time, and put the Teardrop up for sale and it sold in about 3 days to a forum member for $6k.
The deal is set to complete tomorrow or the next day, then I will approach the guy with the land and see if he will take a slightly lower down payment. If so, I am in. Otherwise, it will have to wait until I sell the Town Car, and that won't happen until I get the Monte Carlo on the road.
As far as the Monte goes, I got it running Last Monday, so I am really progressing on it, and the only thing that is left at this point is to get exhaust put on it, then get it legal. I plan to put $1k from the Teardrop into my two old vehicles to get them in top condition, then sell the Town Car for $5k and that will give me $7k down for the land and $2k to get the Chalet moved and setup and leave me $1k for all the stuff that always comes up that you don't expect.
Since I am dedicated to building the standy, I went ahead and added it to my sig line when I added the truck camper. It is a changing of the guards so to speak and the teardrop will be retired shortly.
So you are catching me right on the precipice of change my friend! Thanks for checkin in!
