It is still my house, and I think I will use it!!!

We still have not rented or sold the house in Leimen. I somehow think of the house in Leimen as someone else’s house. What is there is there. But the truth is it is mine. If there is something there I want for our house in Bad Schönborn why shouldn't I just take it? And today we were thinking about our green house. How should we build a green house? We think it would be best to use the frame of a carport as the base. Then we can cover the south wall with antique windows. The top can be heavy plastic sheeting. The side walls insulated plywood covered with plaster. We can use an antique door. The floor can be dug deep, so you step down into the green house. Then the ceiling would be high. We could buy a carport for 1,000 euro, or we can take the carport we put over our terrace in Leimen. Why spend an extra 1,000 Euros? Why not just move our old one? If we rent our house out, the renter still has a pergola and 3 baloneys. They don't need a covered terrace! And I'm going over to the house to dig up plants too! Why should I spend money on plants when I already have so many in Leimen? I don't think the covered terrace or plants will sell it/rent it. People will buy or rent it either way. I might as well use what I already paid for. Everyone that looks at the house to buy has asked us to drop the price by thousands of Euros. They want something for nothing. Well, I think they can have less if they want to pay less! My new house needs a green house. And I think I will use my carport ….MY CARPORT!!! And maybe I'll get Juergen to move our small green house too? Oh, and the rain barrels, and the sandbox!

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.

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 help these young women learn to read. http://www.ReadingKingdom.com what

Taking at look at Hotels select

I have the chance to review Hotels select.   https://www.hotelsetc.com/ This is a really interesting travel club.   You pay a fee of about 200 dollars a year to use their very extensive site.   I got this membership free.   It has many deals of mostly hotels, but also rental cars, flights, restaurants and events around the world.   I have been spending days looking at what they offer.   So far what I’ve found is amazing deals on the places many people go.   For example, hotels in Orlando are 50% less than deals you find at booking.com.   Rental cars are often 25% cheaper than Rental cars.com.   And they have a search where you can book a condo for as little as 250 dollars a week just 1 mile from Disney world.   That is 7 nights for 250 dollars for up to 4 people.   The exact location on Airbnb cost 650 dollars a week. If you travel to places like San Diego, New York City and Las Vegas this site will save you a great deal of money.   If you rent cars you will also find it wo
