Dream house



I would love a big old farm house with a yard. Well, today I found one. OK, it is in a small little town about 20 minutes from everything...but what a house. It has 9 bedrooms and a wine cellar! It has a very large yard and it's totally renovated. This big house is almost the same price as my tiny little row house. Location, location, location! The question is would I be willing to drive everywhere with 5 kids? I must say, this is a dream house to me.

it is beautful. 20 mins would be a long way for me with one. I grew up 15 mins away from everything and there were 4 kids in my fam. My mom went to the grocery shop every 2 weeks. Once we were home after school or whatever it took A LOT to get in the mood to go back. I live in a small-ish community about 30 mins from big city. When I lived in big city I had no issue with driving to the now small-ish community two or three times a day if needed. Now it is difficult to get the motivation to go to big city, heh. It really is all what you get used to. sorry to be so long.

I would do it in a heart beat with the size of your family.
I live 15 minutes from everything and I love it.
I don't miss being in town at all.
I go into town maybe once or twice a week.
Maybe there are charming little country schools there.

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
