I may have found it

I've been looking for just the right vacation house for our family. I want space, privacy, a pool, a good location, and a good price. I found a website that has houses and apartments on organic farms across Italy. There is a very nice house near Imperia that I'm hoping is available. It is on a large farm that grows olives and lavender. Imperia is on the Italian Rivera. The house is in the hills, 20 minutes from the sea. So we could have the best of both worlds. A quite and beautiful house in a field of lavender, and over 1000 good restaurants on a unbelievable coast line! We could take a day trip to Turin, and another to Florence. But the bulk of our time can be spent just sleeping well, and swimming. So I'm waiting to hear from them. I hope we get the house. I'm amazed at the cool houses and apartments you can rent in Italy. I'm so grateful to God for a chance to take a vacation. I hope it works out. http://www.agriturismo.it/en/

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
