Juergen is meeting about 7 families today in Leimen.
Well, 7 asked to see it, we will see how many actually show up. We didn't
have very good experience the last time we tried to sell it. People would
schedule an appointment, and not show up. They would not even call.
And we would wait and wait. Our time had zero value to them. And
then they would say I hate this, and I hate that. You need to drop the
price 100,000 Euro so I can totally remodel the house. I need a fireplace
and Greek columns, and marble on the floors. Oh man! It was not
fun. So Juergen meets maybe 7 families to look at the house. We
have a renter. I have no control over how nice or clean everything’s
going to look. I already know the back yard looks very bad. We are
hiring a gardener to redo the grass. I have no control. But I
actually feel better than the last time it was on the market. If it sells
it will be the grace of God. And if not, we will try to rent it
again. We will not wait a whole year. I do hope it sells. It
would be pretty wonderful not to have this responsibility anymore. I got
rid of all the extra tomatoes yesterday. There were about 50 tomato
plants left over. I put them on a table on the sidewalk in front of my house.
I wrote a sign that said free tomatoes, please take them. And in a few
hours they were all gone. I have 100 plants in my greenhouse and
garden. That is enough to water and care for. These extra plants
were a burden not a blessing. And Leimen is the same. It distracts
us, and cost us both time and money. We just want to sell it. But
we are not willing to drop the price 60,000 Euro as some want us to do.
So I hope we can sell it well. I don't need to make a profit, I just want
to break even. But we may need to rent it again. And I’m OK with that too.
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.
