Let's get going!

It's Monday morning and I have already had 2 large cups of coffee. I still have a hard time waking up! I slept wrong on my arm & it hurts. Jess is home today. She has lice again (or still). With her super thick hair it's hard to treat it. I'm afraid I need to cut her hair short. I see no other way to really get rid of the lice. And I will treat everyone else in the house, wash all the bedding, and all the brushes too. Lot's of extra work! But Oh well! That is just how things go around here! I did get another call about the house today. So maybe 2 more families will look sometime this week. Only one family looked yesterday. They are a very interesting family. He is Italian, and she is Russian. They speech English, German, Russian and Italian to their 2 kids. And they need a big house for the grandparents that visit. They want to live in this area...pretty perfect. But I don't know if they liked it. I have zero idea how they felt. So I'm not going to hold my breath! I'm actually very relaxed about the whole matter. We get to renovate our new house in just 4 weeks. Most of my focus is on the new house...and I just have to believe the rest will work out. So today I take care of the lice...again!

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
