not so fast



Well, I’ve spent allot of hours looking at stuff to equip a vacation house.  It's been kind of fun to dream of how I would furnish each room.  But it would cost thousands of euros to fill the house with furniture, appliances, towels, sheets pillows etc. for 8 to 10 people.  But finally you can tell summer vacation is almost over.  The interest is picking up again.  We have had 3 new requests to see the house in the past 24 hours.  So hopefully we will at the very least rent it.  I would rather sell it, but it is easier to rent it.  One of the families that asked about it today has 3 kids and want to rent long term.  They both work, and also want their grandmother to live with them.  It is big enough for 6 people.  Could be the answer?  But either way, I'm calmer.  I think its fun to think about decorating the house in Leimen, but I don't need the job of running a big vacation house.  I think it would be a ton of work.  I think that is plan C, and I hope plan A, to sell it still works.

Yes it's a lot of work to make that size of a home a vacation rental.

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...
