There is still room for friends

I'm very excited about our trip to Italy May 18-June 1. But it's a big Villa, and there are lots of rooms available for friends. So if you are looking for a vacation with your family, or with a group of friends the Villa Migliarina is a very good deal. You can get a 2 bedroom apartment for about 600€ for 2 weeks. Our idea is to take day trips with our family and hang out with friends at the villa at night. Everyone doing their own thing, with some time spent together. Some jamming on guitars, some board games, some soccer, some pool time with friends. Or Juergen will hang out at the villa with Jessica and the kids, and I take a day trip to Florence to see the art. I hang out with Jessica and Juergen goes to Rome for the day. We can only do so much with Jessica. She mostly likes to stay in one spot. And last year the kids didn't want to leave the villa. They were happy to spend the whole day at the pool. So Juergen and I would love to have friends around to tour with.

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
