The new living room

Jessica had a ruff night. I was up with her until very late. Juergen took off for Nuremberg early (7am). I wasn't awake when he left. he forgot his cell phone. I have zero idea if he got there, and got the furniture. I guess he should be home soon. And I hope everything went well. I hope the 5 hour drive was relaxing for him. He doesn't get allot of time alone. And I'm hoping the furniture is nice, and that Juergen likes it. But if it's not nice I wouldn't be surprised if Juergen just tells the owner to keep it. Maybe that's why he left his phone?

Update: He got home with the furniture. It's very nice, just like it looked. It's got an Italian design. Perfect for our house. And it isn't a cheap set of furniture. it was very well built. I spent the last hour dusting and polishing it inside and out. When I unpack my stuff I'll take some pictures. It's missing the glass shelves in 2 of the cabinets. We need to have those built (cut) for us. The chairs and sofa are beautiful too. It's all in super shape. I hope we don't ruin it too fast! Juergen took the van to our old house to pick up some of the things that got left behind. Mostly garden stuff. The kids and I started to plant our flower bed today. We put many flowers in the boarder, but need many more. It's really very large. I also have a really awful head cold. Juergen just got back, I have to help unload the van.

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
