Old or New?






One of the big differences between Juergen and I is he likes new stuff and I like old stuff. I got these old chairs at a second hand shop about two years ago. They got a little too much rain, and the seats are ruined. Juergen says toss them out, I say fix them! The only problem is my hands have been really weak and sore from a serious fall I took in China. I have had a hard time doing allot of stuff (gardening, house work). I finally felt like I could clean these chairs up and prepare them to be renovated. I hope it doesn't take a whole year to finish the task. What do you think of the little pond I made from an old trunk? I had fish in it last year, but they died when we were on a vacation.

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 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
