Larry, I, too, have had to make major changes and a move half way across the continent. It's no fun, but you do what you have to do.
From the pictures I've seen, you built one pretty Mk 3, it's a shame to see you send it on without having had the pleasure of flying your handiwork. If you don't mind a couple of suggestions.
Flying aircraft sell for more than projects. Why not sell the VW engine, get a good used 503 and finish Vamoose? It might not be you're ideal aircraft that way, but it'll fly and I can tell you from experience that nothing will put a smile on your face faster than getting back in the air in your own wings.
If you do have to store her, check the local airports for half hangars. There's one on each end of a row of tee hangars and they generally rent pretty cheap. In Puget Sound, where the average wait time for a hangar is in excess of two years, I got a half hangar at Paine Field in four months. My friend Mike walked into the airport office on the right day and walked out with the keys to the half hangar kitty corner from me. Give it a try, you'll still get to hang out at the airport, and if things change for you, you're in the right place to fly Vamoose.
Good Luck,
Rick

Mike...
Ditto... That's how I know...
Larry...
When I moved to Spokane back in the middle '70s, I had my Republic Seabee on a trailer and couldn't find inexpensive inside storage close to town... Through a friend, I found out about very inexpensive storage at a grain elevator building about 30 miles South of Spokane... I kept it there until I bought my property on the lake and brought it home... Point being, don't overlook out of the way, off the beaten path, places that could be utilized as storage... That way you can bring her home when you're ready and GET FLYING!...

LAR!
Sorry to hear you won't be aviating for awhile -- but sorrier still
that I won't get to meet you in Plam Spriggs in Jan., I'd really
looked forward to that. So more gab via email.
Damn! but given the reasons you list, your decision seems to be a
good one.
How did your polarizer ever work out?
Hey, all the best, friend, and see you sometime but GOK knows when --
fair winds,
Russ

Well, yer just gonna hafta stop by Santa Fe on your way home. It's a
beautiful facility in a beautiful, historic city. It's all official now,
and I'll be leaving here on Nov. 10 to start there, at "La Posada de Santa
Fe" on Nov. 13. I'm looking forward to a whole new set of adventures, even
if I do hafta move. Lar. Do not

Thanks for the good thoughts. Actually, I have had and do have 2nd thoughts, and held off for a long time before making the decision to sell. I just dunno. If it sells before I go, well and good. If it doesn't, places like you suggest just don't exist here in Diamond Springs. I can store Vamoose in its' trailer in the storage yard at the back of the park here till I sell my home, then it's gotta go. Maybe feasible to take it to Santa Fe, but again, I dunno. Just hafta play it by ear. Commuting 800 miles each way for multiple trips isn't a desirable option, either.
It's a good thing I threw that bogus redrive in the trash. Today, I was noodling around out on the porch, throwing stuff out, etc., and was giving thought to "maybe I shoulda just tried a new chain........." Don't go there, Lar. That way lies disaster. Good thing it's gone and outa reach. Never did find a viable redrive to replace that clunker with, either, and even gave a tiny thought to contacting the builder of the thing. Apparently there's a much improved version out now that Julian Warren bought several years ago. Nawwww.........he's already got too much of my money for that last one. Mixed Up Lar. Do not Archive.
