eBay

I don't know if we will manage to sell the house in Leimen. I hope we do. But if we don't we are considering renting it as a furnished house for (I guess you would call it) corporate housing. We would rent to business people, computer scientist, or visiting professors. A furnished house gets about 600 Euros more per month then an unfurnished house. It isn't what I want to do, but it maybe what we need to do for a few years. And I am looking at what I can buy on eBay. Today I bought 6 rattan wicker chairs and 2 footstools. I figure I can use the chairs with our old dining room table, and the stools in a living room. I'll use them for a rental, or for our own house. No loss. I like them and the price was very good. I do pray we sell. Anything else would be a distraction. Jessica had a very nice day. Juergen and I took her for a two hour drive, then out to dinner. The kids go back to school tomorrow. The summer went by very fast. This entire year has been very fast.

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
