The big tent

It took a few hours, but the tent is now up. And I think I will turn it into a green house after next weeks party. I found out you can make it shorter and thinner. So instead of having a greenhouse that's 5 meters wide, and 8 meters long, we can have it 4 x6 meters. That's perfect. I will need to buy the wood to frame in the end walls, cement for the foundation, and green house plastic. But the whole thing will be so much cheaper then the high tunnel we where looking at. Juergen has even said we could maybe weld the metal together to make the frame solid. Awesome! We get soil on Monday for the greenhouse area. And Tuesday the mulch comes. So the ground will be ready for the greenhouse. The garden is almost ready for the party. The kids go back to school on Monday. I should be able to clean the house for the party. And they hired caterers to do the rest. So I hope it will be stress less. I'm very glad to get a clean garden and house!

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
