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!

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
