A big big house

We looked at another house today. It was very nice and the price was super. I think it could be perfect for now, but way too big in a few years. It wouldn't be easy to make it into 2 apartments. I think it's not for us. I still like this one house we saw with the winter garden. The price is still too high, but we didn't want to move right now anyway. It would be much better for us to wait a year. We will have our house painted, redo our bathroom. Maybe we will buy another house, or maybe we will stay. I'm open. I actually like my house, and garden more and more. We will see! It isn't easy to sell a house. The owners we met today were very nice. I hope they can find a buyer. It will not be easy because it's such a big house. Not many families need such a big place!

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
