Nicole's Art

Nicole spent 8 hours in the metal workshop today. She is making a metal face that will be the water feature for our pond. She is taking different pieces of scrap metal and welding them into a face. The nose will be a running faucet. It will be mounted to stone. This is the start of the face. Juergen showed the house again. The person said they wanted to move this wall, and that wall. He talked about a total remodel. Then he offered us 50,000 Euros less then what we are asking. Like we should pay for his remodel? Why do we even bother showing the house to these people? We gave our lowest price to the real-estate agent. Why did he waste our time? It makes me mad! Juergen said they will come back with a new offer. But I'm sure it will be too low.
We have 2 good families looking at the house to rent. No more buyers! They are all out of their minds!

Renting until the market goes up seems to be the best option.
It's a buyers market so they are pushing for the best price possible, trying to find those desperate buyers.

I have a friend in Corvallis that ran into the same thing. She's renting to an adult care facility. It seems to be working out for her. The supervisor who is staying in her home with the 4 adult men that need limited assistance, seem to be taking care of the place well and are paying the rent on time.

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.

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

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
