back ground check

Nicole started school yesterday. Her professor is Meuser. He does mostly a combination of sculpture, painting and insulation works. All "modern". Nicole is allowed to do whatever she likes but it's good to know what her professor does. Here is a link to some of his work. It's in German. I don't personally care for "modern art". It is basically more an art of ideas, not technique. If you don't understand the ideas behind the art, or agree with those ideas modern art can be just a bunch of reclaimed trash. So it is really going to be a challenge for Nicole to stay true to her ideas, and translate them into work that is acceptable to her professor. She also wants to learn real skills to be more then just a person that knows how to label garbage! She wants to be a good painter, sculptor and drawer.

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
