It took about 3 months after the initial visit to the Tradewind to finally get to bring her home. The PO had lost the title and had to go through hoops to get a new one since everyone prior to her was dead, she had to post it in the paper for 7 days to make sure no one could claim it. Once she had it in the paper, we decided to go ahead and buy it.
Pick up day! Boy was this fun! We were so excited! We thought it would be pretty simple, go over, hook it up, and bring it home, NOT! The tires were flat, understandable from sitting so long. We put air in them to get it home. Got everything hooked up. Called my dad to come and follow us just in case. Luckily we only lived about 5 miles away. Started to pull out and the brakes locked. Husband got out and checked everything and it looked ok, so we tried it again. We got maybe 100 yrds when they locked again. So hubby decided to unhook them just to get it home. FINALLY! We spent 2 days scrubbing the walls,, cabinets, stove, etc.. boy were they nasty.
