Tile


How hard could it be to lay down bathroom tile? I've seen it done a million times on do it your self shows. I looked at tile at a specialty store today. I'm not picky; I just have very expensive taste! I found a hand made tile I just love but they wanted 50€ per square meter, and the boarder tile was only 25€ per square meter, then the floor tile was 30€. The total would be around 1,500 € and the real cost comes with the insulation! People have told me a new bathroom would cost at least 15,000€ and I thought they were kidding!!! I think I can find the tile half price at a building supply store or on eBay. Now we just need to find the right person to put it in. We had a really great hand worker put tile in our kitchen, hallway, guest toilet and dinning room. He was really fast and did a super job. I hope we can manage to get him to do the work. Juergen may get his wish to just take a vacation. It's looking basically impossible to line the help up in such a short time. What do you think....did Juergen know it would be impossible to get the help and that is the reason he put the whole thing off until now? I've been asking him for the past 6 months. He is smart you know! Maybe if we start planning now we can finally get an affordable new bathroom by next summer?

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.
