I'm sick

I'm feeling pretty run down. I guess that shouldn't come as a big surprise to anyone. Juergen put Philip's floor in today. We also put up the curtains in the kitchen, Nicole's room and the living room. The curtain rods are xxl, so they cost allot. The windows in those 3 rooms are very large. That gives us great light but also gives us allot of window to cover.

Hope you feel better soon.
Go to your plumbing department in your local hardware store , you can use galvanized, copper, or black plastic PVC pipes, for curtain rods. You can paint them or leave them industrial looking. A cheaper option. You can also cut to the length you want. Then at the end of the pipes you can create your own finials. buy putting a wooden dowel as a plug in the hole of the pipe. Then put a decorative knob or fence finial from fence post.

Olivia is born

My niece had a beautiful baby girl named Olivia Rose (Beautiful name). Everyone is very excited and thank God healthy! Congratulations to the whole family! Hugs to my sister Shelley who is now a proud grandma for the 2nd time. My sister Dianna has 6 grand kids (I think). My brother and I are too young for such an blessing. At least our kids are too young. I'm going to have to wait to be called grandma. Here is a cool picture I took off Shelley's blog. It shows Eric (the tired but proud grandpa) Lissa with her first daughter Charlotte, and then a sleeping Olivia Rose. 3 generations in one shot. How fast life goes by! How beautiful life can be!

painting the garage

Rick goes home in the morning. I'm sure he will be happy to see his kids again. 3 weeks is along time to be away. The time has passed so fast. It's been really wonderful! So wonderful!!! We may stay up all night, that way he can sleep well on the flight. Hopefully his jet lag will be less this way! Anyway, here is his painting. It turned out more then good! I really love it...just like I love my brother! We will have to do this again soon!

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.
