Glad this doesn't prevent you to keep working on your dream to turn that ambulance into a jewel Morpheus

The bank will hold this document, since they own the property until you pay it off. Once paid off, then they send you the Title, this Title is also a transfer of ownership and what the DMV,{ Department of motor vehicles}, does, is put your name on the Title as the new owner. Paid and clear of any liens. It will contain the serial number of the vehicle, model year and so forth. In Zeus's case, it took 6 months to get this Title. At 4 months, they sent me a Title that had the wrong model year on it and so I went back to the DMV and they had to re-issue the Title with the right model year. Just one year off mind you but that one year off would also put it at a higher property tax bracket rate.

It's a good thing!!!

Ah I see :) Thanks for the explanation. In England we call it the Log book, you get it as soon as you buy the car/bike even if you have it on HP. But you never actually own the vehicle, you're just the keeper

Just found this YouTube video. Enjoy!

What a lovely plot of land, what a magical house and what an enchanted being the craftman of all this is.
Brice keeps finding yewels on his trail of Hearts.
I am absolutely in love with Britain
I enjoyed everything there from their romantic gardens, to their fine teas and scones, Old towns and small villages, ... to the lovely british manners and their funny sense of humor.
I remember Americans felt at a loss there because all looked tiny to them: houses, roads, streets, shops, cars...They thought they had entered a doll land haha
I was living in  Sussex in a lovely green area surrounded by Old manors and Castles and I had two really fine friends on my stay there. Both of them excellent artists. Their house was ridden with their Art from bottom to top including the garden. Much like this man in the video.
Such wonderful and dear memories to me

Thank you for sharing this Morpheus

Hey OXY, check this out. If you are poor like me, consider this video.

I was getting started on my Ambulance and my health went downhill. Plus, as it turns out, the batteries were 7 years old. I had left a switch on and the batteries got drained. They died. So I bought some new ones and they are still in the back of my truck. Another thing that made things worse, was the battery compartment box that they sit in. It has draw slides. So you can pull the battery box out to gain access. Those draw slides had seized up. Seem like it took a while to get the batteries out and they are quite heavy. There are 3 batteries. Once I got the batteries out, I took the draw slides off and discovered the seizure. I have tore one of them apart, wire-brushed all the rust off, and started to put it back together and didn't finish that. But hopefully, now that the temperature is now warming up, I can get started again. When this first happened, I got a little nervous. Batteries aren't cheap nowadays I did some pricing and was looking at $ 600.00. But I got lucky and ended up paying $208.00 for 3 new ones at Interstate Batteries. They have blemished ones there. A scratch on the side or top, so they discount them. I have taken out most of the cushions in the box. Plus the seat belts in the box. Oil changes are going to be pricey. The darn thing holds 28 quarts of oil and that's because of a 7.6-liter engine. The famous Ford 7.3-liter engine was actually built by International. Not Ford. Both of these engines are in the top ten of diesels. I paid 10K plus 850 on the shipping from Pennsylvania. Here's a funny. The tax value is 5K. I love the truck and I'm very eager to get to it as long as my health doesn't get any worse.

That looks like a cool rig! Just remember, you might not be able to stand up in it. And don't forget about propane. The condensation factor. If you overdo the propane, you'll have serious mold issues. I plan on getting a diesel heater for Zeus. They range in price though. But you can get a Chinese one for about $180.00. I once lived in a nice RV trailer and had a small heater box fan that worked great even in the Winter, but I was hooked up at a campground. Also, keep in mind that it is always better to have a couple of different heat systems just in case one system fails. A backup system could save your life in some instances. You never know.

My neighbor, I had mentioned, his birthday is on May 13th. Another synchronicity. Sorry about your stroke event. I also have a neighbor and she just had one a few months ago and she is only 32. The docs can't figure out why either.
