Juergen and I looked at the old house in Leimen/St Ilgen today. It is a cute little house that needs a great deal of work. It is too little for us. It's not going to be an easy house to sell. Once you put the 100,000 euros worth of work it needs, you could never sell the place because of the bad location (busy street, and train running in front of the house). The renters didn't look very happy to have people looking at it. They seemed pretty comfortable living there. I guess if you buy the place as a rental...that would be ideal! The renters would be glad to stay I think. So we looked! And it's a clear no. Perhaps someone else will buy the house in Bad Schonborn before we can find an archetect? I'm just not going to worry about it! We need to see the place with an archetect, or we can not make a good decision. You simply do not rush when you are spending hundreds of thousands of euro! If not A or B then C or D...we have time to find what is right!
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.
