Tile


How hard could it be to lay down bathroom tile? I've seen it done a million times on do it your self shows. I looked at tile at a specialty store today. I'm not picky; I just have very expensive taste! I found a hand made tile I just love but they wanted 50€ per square meter, and the boarder tile was only 25€ per square meter, then the floor tile was 30€. The total would be around 1,500 € and the real cost comes with the insulation! People have told me a new bathroom would cost at least 15,000€ and I thought they were kidding!!! I think I can find the tile half price at a building supply store or on eBay. Now we just need to find the right person to put it in. We had a really great hand worker put tile in our kitchen, hallway, guest toilet and dinning room. He was really fast and did a super job. I hope we can manage to get him to do the work. Juergen may get his wish to just take a vacation. It's looking basically impossible to line the help up in such a short time. What do you think....did Juergen know it would be impossible to get the help and that is the reason he put the whole thing off until now? I've been asking him for the past 6 months. He is smart you know! Maybe if we start planning now we can finally get an affordable new bathroom by next summer?

chicken coop idea

Why not start with an IBC and cut a hole for the door? You could build closed laying boxes into it, and something for the chickens to roost on. Put some straw or saw dust on the floor. You could add vents to the side for air. If it sat inside a chicken run that you can walk into, the chickens could be safe, dry and happy. I have an extra IBC. Maybe this could be my chicken house? I bet I could even plant the outside of it with mud and grass for extra insulation and good looks.

The Opel Agilia

I think I don't want to spend the money for the VW New Beetle. It's a very cute and safe car, but cost about 17,000Euros new. I can find it for 13,000Euros (this is the most basic model) but that's more then I would want to spend. I don't really drive that much. I'm pretty cheep at heart. I need real value for my money. I keep thinking we really should take advantage of the money Germany is offering to trade old cars in for 2500Euros towards a new car. If I buy a car that's around 10,000 Euros, then the Government is actually going to pay 25% of the cost of that car. That's really a very good deal. Since I know I will need a new car in the near future, I feel I should get a new 10,000 Euro car. The Opel Agilia is around 9,900 Euros. It's got 5 doors, and room for 5. It is pretty safe, and comes with a 6 year warranty. I would not call it my dream car, but I could easily afford it. I'm trying to be wise here. There are other cars in thi...

Reading Kingdom

I am very happy to review the Reading Kingdom.   This is an online program that uses a variety of methods to teach reading.   I decided to share this product with my adopted granddaughter Ruth.   Reading kingdom uses a six skills integrative method Ruth only just began to use the program. She is only 3 years old and cannot use the program without help.   But her mom says that she can already recognize words like girl and kids when they are shown on the screen.   Sylvia wrote that she loves the repetition of the words in the program .   That Ruth is memorizing the words she sees.     She will be able to use it for an entire year.   But I expect her to become a very good reader.   And what a great gift to give to any child!   She will have a lifetime love for books.     Sylvia also works with teenage mothers in Uganda.   And many of these women have never attended school.   So she plans to use these ideas to h...
