no smokers

Juergen called the people who wanted to rent our house Oct 1st to say no. We just don't want to rent to smokers because of the potential for damage. It is very hard to get rid of the smell. You need to paint everything. The deposit would not cover the costs, and it takes time. So we have no renters or buyers looking at the house. And we just might have to pay the mortgage on Oct 1st. I hate that. But God knows what we need, when we need it. I refuse to waste what little wisdom I have and open another potential problem because I got afraid right now. I’ll just stand until God gives us an answer. I’m looking at antique furniture on eBay. Maybe I’ll rent the house out as a vacation home? At least until we find a buyer. Is anyone interested in renting a vacation house near Heidelberg Germany for 800 Euro per week, 200 Euro per night? It will sleep between 6 and 8 people. A very good place for out of town guests. Family reunions, vacations, weddings, Christmas guests…etc. But really, I just want to sell the 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
