The garden

I needed to go to Heidelberg this morning to buy some more cork for Jessica’s floor. I also picked up a few more plants for our flower bed. It's hard to imagine how good this bed will look in a few years. Perennials’ take a few years to grow. I think it's going to be lovely. I was at our house in Leimen. I really need to get over there and do some work so we can sell the place. Jessica doesn't want to go to Leimen anymore. This is a bit of a problem. Maybe Juergen will have to take care of Jessica a few evenings while Nicole and I clean the old house. We need to put it back on the market. I wish I could just move on...but there is this major loose end to deal with. I've basically forgotten about the old house and focused on the new one. But I need to finish what needs to be done in Leimen. I've had my break...but I need to deal with Leimen.

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
