Why an Earthship?


I have been thinking allot about the idea of the "END TIMES". Are we living in the end times? I watch the events in the world, and I think that we are living in what the Bible calls the last days. I am not interested in building a cabin in the woods and stocking it with food and guns. I do however think more and more about the idea of being self sustaining. I like Earth ships because they are self sustaining. I doubt very much I can build an Earth ship in Germany. Germans care allot about the environment, but they also love their rules. It would be hard to get them to give me permission to build a home out of trash. I care about the environment, but I want an Earth ship because it is a fully self sustaining way to live. The sad thing is we may need this sort of home in the future. You may think I am crazy? I wonder if you will think me crazy in 10 or 20 years?

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.

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
