A family that looked at our house (to buy it) called today and said they don't want it. So no sale! Oh well! The painter is at the house in Leimen painting the stair well. He is a real great guy! He is a Christian, and so positive! I'm so grateful when we have people that help us that are honest and hard working! I think I found a nice kitchen too. It's not available until the end of this month. But if we manage to get it, the nice handyman can put it in for us. I also went with Juergen to buy a new cloths dryer. We got an A class energy dryer that should save us about 30 Euro's per month. Our cloths dryer has not worked for a week. We could have spent a few hundred Euro's to have it fixed, but it is a poor quality dryer that eats energy. I think the new cloths dryer will pay for it's self in one year. I was also on eBay. I found this strawberry grape. It is very good for juice and jelly. And it is extremely resistant to mold. Our grape in Leimen has to be sprayed every year agents mold. This grape is suppose to have a very sweet flavored, and smell sweet even on the vine! I know just where I'll put it!
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.
