the floor plan

My Mom wrote…

"Could you use that area as a living room? I am assuming there is access from the back of the property that could be used for the car."

...The back of the property has no access. It is a grave yard (really). And on either side another large garden. So it has no place to park a car. It's very quite in the garden, and private. So I guess that's the good news. You have to park in the court yard. There is no parking on the street. We would have good space in the attic for a living room. We think we can put the guest room on the ground floor where there was once a small kitchen. We think that we can put a hall way where the pantry is, and the old laundry room can become my mud room and back door. Here is a link to the floor plan. The first plan is how it is now. The second plan is how we think we can use it. We need to see an architect to see what he thinks. On the ground floor I want to put a wheel chair ramp, and wider doors. I also want to redo the small bathroom so it has a zero clearance shower with a seat, and bars for the toilet. I’m thinking about my parents, Juergen’s dad, and us 20 or so years from now. If you have to redo it, you might as well do it right. Feel free to give me input. If there is something more I should be considering, stuff I would wish I had done?

Olivia is born

My niece had a beautiful baby girl named Olivia Rose (Beautiful name). Everyone is very excited and thank God healthy! Congratulations to the whole family! Hugs to my sister Shelley who is now a proud grandma for the 2nd time. My sister Dianna has 6 grand kids (I think). My brother and I are too young for such an blessing. At least our kids are too young. I'm going to have to wait to be called grandma. Here is a cool picture I took off Shelley's blog. It shows Eric (the tired but proud grandpa) Lissa with her first daughter Charlotte, and then a sleeping Olivia Rose. 3 generations in one shot. How fast life goes by! How beautiful life can be!

painting the garage

Rick goes home in the morning. I'm sure he will be happy to see his kids again. 3 weeks is along time to be away. The time has passed so fast. It's been really wonderful! So wonderful!!! We may stay up all night, that way he can sleep well on the flight. Hopefully his jet lag will be less this way! Anyway, here is his painting. It turned out more then good! I really love it...just like I love my brother! We will have to do this again soon!

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.
