The tent

I took Nicole and Jessica out to breakfast today. Afterwards we shopped. Everything in the store is covered with Christmas lights already. I'm planning on stringing lights inside the party tent too. We want to attach this paper table cloth stuff to the tent ceiling first, then the lights and maybe some fall decorations. And I also bought this hot air generator that runs on gas. It can generate a good blast of heat so our tent will be cozy! I hope it isn’t very loud! Maybe we can also string lights on the trampoline? We want to cover the garden with lanterns. There will also be a bon fire. I bought marshmallows yesterday. I need to find some sticks or something so we can roast the marshmallows. I hope it doesn't rain. I’m glad we still have a few weeks to pull everything together. I’m looking forward to this party!

Sounds good. Just one precaution, check the heat potential of those lights. You should keep enough distance between that paper on the ceiling and the lights such as not to make it a fire hazzard.

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
