basement windows



If we put the boys in the basement we need more light. We could cut bigger window. This could mean fooling with beams that hold up the house. I don't like that. Perhaps this sort of thing could meet our need?

I also want another stairwell cut into the basement. I found out they have chain saws that cut concrete. Maybe we can cut a hole into the floor and add another entrance into the basement. Maybe in the living room? I just want the boys to be near by...a part of the house. I think we can make the basement very nice. The rooms are there. It would be much cheaper to heat those rooms, and renovate those rooms. But you have to go outside to get to the basement. Unless we add another staircase, the boys would be in a separate house.

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
