tempted to go to Thailand

We haven't finished planning and scheduling the remodeling of our bathroom. It needs to be done, but when is the question. Maybe we should put it off another year. The airline prices to Bangkok are very low. We still have lots of vacation time. It's easy to find a good vacation rental. Not many people are traveling to Thailand because of the resent unrest. Nicole will graduate (God willing) next spring. She wants to go to the USA next summer. So we could call it a final whole family trip. We could spend the bathroom money and go to Thailand for 3 weeks. I'm not sure what to do...go and have some very good family time, or stay and invest in my house. The one seems so self indulgent, but the kids grow up so fast. You can not gather them back once they are gone. Bathrooms can always be remodeled.

Thailand! Das würde ich auf alle Fälle machen. Das Bad geht auch später noch. Bei uns ist es die Küche. Ganz alt und teilweise optisch gräßlich. Aber sie funktioniert. Und so lange unsere Kinder mit uns fahren, investiere ich das Geld lieber in Reisen (danach wahrscheinlich auch noch, der Lustgewinn ist höher)

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
