Nicole's Art

Nicole spent 8 hours in the metal workshop today. She is making a metal face that will be the water feature for our pond. She is taking different pieces of scrap metal and welding them into a face. The nose will be a running faucet. It will be mounted to stone. This is the start of the face. Juergen showed the house again. The person said they wanted to move this wall, and that wall. He talked about a total remodel. Then he offered us 50,000 Euros less then what we are asking. Like we should pay for his remodel? Why do we even bother showing the house to these people? We gave our lowest price to the real-estate agent. Why did he waste our time? It makes me mad! Juergen said they will come back with a new offer. But I'm sure it will be too low.
We have 2 good families looking at the house to rent. No more buyers! They are all out of their minds!

Renting until the market goes up seems to be the best option.
It's a buyers market so they are pushing for the best price possible, trying to find those desperate buyers.

I have a friend in Corvallis that ran into the same thing. She's renting to an adult care facility. It seems to be working out for her. The supervisor who is staying in her home with the 4 adult men that need limited assistance, seem to be taking care of the place well and are paying the rent on time.

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
