Open House May 14TH

We need a goal to work towards. Our goal is to have an open house on May 14th from 1-6 pm. We hope the bathroom will be ready by then. And I will be working on all the rest. Today I clean the kitchen again. This time I'm working on the refrigerator and organizing the inside of the cabinets. Kitchens and bathrooms are the most important rooms in selling a house. At least this is what I have read.

Jessica is doing very well on her trip. They took a sight seeing trip (a bus ride) around Berlin. She loved it. She also really enjoyed the train ride there. I feel better knowing she feels good.

We are still waiting for our washing machine to come. Our house smells like wet dirty laundry! I hope the machine comes today...I really need it!

Another good tip is to have chocolate chip cookies just out of the oven or cinnamon rolls, and have coffee to serve. Of course the disposable cups with protective lids, and ice water with lemon.
That's what we were told in America when having an open house. We did it and sold our house.

The other thing we were told and this is true if you don't have curb appeal you won't get them in the door.

and you have to de personalize the house so they can imagine themselves living in it.

flowers on the dinning room table is a nice added touch or fruit in a bowl.

Hope all goes well with your open 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
