kitchen day

First Juergen took Nicole to a Dr. because she wasn't getting any better. She got some pretty strong drugs to clear up a very bad infection in her throat. Poor baby! Then we took Philip, Sarah and Thomas to the kitchen store. Juergen liked the gala kitchen. We got it all measured out. That took 1 1/2 hours. Then we found out it would cost 12000 Euro, not 4000 Euro as advertised. Sorry! It's really a cool kitchen, but we need to save money right now! So we went to IKEA. Then after fooling around with a design on the computer (zero service) we found out it would cost between 7 and 8,000 Euro for a new kitchen. Again no. So we think we will see if our kitchen maybe re figured to fit the new house. I'm pretty sure whoever buys our house will not give us much for our kitchen. I like our kitchen, maybe we can make it work? We are tired and frustrated. And we know we can not afford much!

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
