The things you can buy on eBay

I found this greenhouse on eBay for just one Euro. It is about 3 hours away. We would need to rent a big van, and take a day to go get it. But it could be perfect! I wonder if I can get Juergen to go get it for me? He has next week off, but I'm sure he didn't want to spend his week on my garden. A greenhouse like this could cost over 3,000 Euro's new. It's 3 meters wide and 4 meters long. I have just the right spot for it. We could repaint the metal a dark green. It's missing a few pieces of glass. I'm sure we could clean it up nicely! It doesn't include the brick base. We could use straw bale covered with cob as a base. The straw bales are wide. You could sit on them, or put pots on them. Juergen will most likely say no…but it could be perfect!

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.
