It's just one month until we leave for our big trip. I'm going to Oregon to spend a week with my family and Nicole’s going to build houses in Mexico. Maybe you don't understand why I'm not going to Mexico. The organization Nicole is going with (global expeditions)is a youth organization. They only let old folks like me go when we are leadership. I could have gone as leadership, but I just felt from God I was to visit my family instead. If I had time to do both, I probably would have done that. I see clearly now that I made the correct choice. I feel a real peace I am taking the correct path. I am so happy to see my little girl Nicole growing so much spiritually. She is stepping out in boldness. She has owned this trip, and invested years preparing for it. I'm so certain God will bless the fruit of that labor! Just one more month and then we go. It doesn’t look like we will come anywhere near to reaching our goal of paying for the building materials for one house ($5,000). We have raised just over $1,000.We did not need to do this, we wanted to. We will bring whatever money is raised and deliver it to the leaders in Mexico to be used to help build a house. I thank each and every person who gave towards this need. Every dime you gave will faithfully be spent on nails and wood. God bless you for your gift!
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.
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
