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!

Olivia is born

My niece had a beautiful baby girl named Olivia Rose (Beautiful name). Everyone is very excited and thank God healthy! Congratulations to the whole family! Hugs to my sister Shelley who is now a proud grandma for the 2nd time. My sister Dianna has 6 grand kids (I think). My brother and I are too young for such an blessing. At least our kids are too young. I'm going to have to wait to be called grandma. Here is a cool picture I took off Shelley's blog. It shows Eric (the tired but proud grandpa) Lissa with her first daughter Charlotte, and then a sleeping Olivia Rose. 3 generations in one shot. How fast life goes by! How beautiful life can be!

painting the garage

Rick goes home in the morning. I'm sure he will be happy to see his kids again. 3 weeks is along time to be away. The time has passed so fast. It's been really wonderful! So wonderful!!! We may stay up all night, that way he can sleep well on the flight. Hopefully his jet lag will be less this way! Anyway, here is his painting. It turned out more then good! I really love it...just like I love my brother! We will have to do this again soon!

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.
