so far today



I got out early today. I bought paint to finish my bedroom and the office. I painted in the office. It's nearly finished. Juergen arrived an hour after me with the kids. They started to pull up the old tile from the hallway. The new tile gets put down beginning on Friday. Thomas jumped off one of our walls and hurt his foot. I brought him home and put some ice on it. If it's not better I'll take him to the Dr. But it looks better already. I think I need to put up a lattice wall so the kids don't kill themselves. We have 2, and maybe 3 people looking at our house in Leimen Friday morning. Hopefully we can get a buyer soon. We buy our house in Bad Schönborn on Friday I think. So Friday we will own 2 houses...and I really hope we can sell one of them! So apart from painting, I also need to clean the house in Leimen. It is a bit crazy but we are really happy, and we are getting it done. God is giving us joy!

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
