Casa Perfectamundo

The kids of course have summer vacation right now. My car is in the shop. We decide to fix the car and try to get two more years from the poor old thing (it's a 18 year old Mazda). I don't really drive that much. Juergen gets his new company car next week. It's a Mercedes van. Trying to be nice (and missing the mark) Juergen said I could drive our old car until Wednesday when we need to return it. I'm surprised he did not say, "if you clean it out". He gets to drive the new car!!!

I guess I talked Juergen into staying home a week and doing some work around the house. It was another vacation or a covered porch. The porch won. I am almost sad about that. I found a really nice vacation house in Italy. I'll hopefully be taking my parents there next Spring. It's just 12 miles from these thermal hot springs. They look heavenly. I wouldn't mind taking a soak in that hot spring now! Isn't that just the cutest Italian kitchen!!!

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
