More farm house dreams



I made a new video of the farm house. I also have a few new ideas. If we turn the living room/dinning room into a big kitchen/dinning room, and turn what is the kitchen into a coat room/laundry room that would work better. Then on the next floor we could have 3 bedrooms, a bath room an office and a guest room. Then in the very large attic, we could have 3 more bedrooms and our living room. Normally you would have the living room on the ground floor, but I don't see the space for it there. Eventually I would love to renovate the barns, but we would need some big money for that. The architect can tell us if we can use the space under the roof. I'm really excited about having a big kitchen. We will see!

How big is the area you call the entrance? It looks to me like it is enclosed and a bit lower than the door off of it, leading to the main part of the house. If you raised the floor over most of it, built stairs to the raised area about 4-5 feet in from the big door. 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.

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.

Reading Kingdom

I am very happy to review the Reading Kingdom.   This is an online program that uses a variety of methods to teach reading.   I decided to share this product with my adopted granddaughter Ruth.   Reading kingdom uses a six skills integrative method Ruth only just began to use the program. She is only 3 years old and cannot use the program without help.   But her mom says that she can already recognize words like girl and kids when they are shown on the screen.   Sylvia wrote that she loves the repetition of the words in the program .   That Ruth is memorizing the words she sees.     She will be able to use it for an entire year.   But I expect her to become a very good reader.   And what a great gift to give to any child!   She will have a lifetime love for books.     Sylvia also works with teenage mothers in Uganda.   And many of these women have never attended school.   So she plans to use these ideas to h...

Happy Birthday to Jessica

Today Nicole and I took Jessica shopping. She turns 22 years old tomorrow. She has grown over the past year. She now likes her disabled workshop. And she has begun to learn to write again on the computer. It is a slow process, but maybe she can write independently in the next 5 years. Her teacher is wonderful. We are very blessed to have her help! If I stopped and thought about what Jessica might be doing if she was healthy, it could break my heart. Birthdays should be happy, but when your child is disabled it's always bitter sweet. Bitter because of the milestones that were never met, and sweet because of the person that is still very valuable and wonderful. But I'm sure everyone feels bitter sweet about something in your life. Life is never only sweet. For me it is much better to fix my eyes on what is there and let go of what I hoped for...what every parent hopes for. Jess bought a new book, 3 DVD's and a Fanta. I also took her to McDonalds because that is ...
