I spent about an hour watering my plants outside. In the green house it's over 100 F. The tomatoes don't seem to mind the heat as long as they have water. And it felt like a sauna in there. I was dripping sweat after I watered the plants. Philip, Thomas and Nicole are at summer camp this week. Sarah is at her friend’s house. Jessica is taking a nap. And Juergen is at work. It is so quite it seems almost strange! And I do manage to keep up with the laundry and the dishes. I almost think it's what it is like to be an empty nester. I'm getting allot of reading done. Yesterday Juergen showed the house in Leimen to 3 families. But the ones who need the space do not have the money. I'm afraid we will need to advertise the house as a rental. I think that is only wise. At this point it does not look like we will be able to sell it. I am trying hard not to get too emotional about this process. I really would love to sell it now. But I'm really fine if we rent it too. I just don't want to lose allot of money and time. The sooner it's resolved the better.
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.
