the house

Juergen has had to spend allot of time contacting people who have requested to see our house in Leimen. Most want to rent, but a few want to buy. Unfortunately none seem like the sort of folks we want to have as renters. Are there no employed “normal” people left in this world? We have had some pretty questionable single men who have asked to see the house. Why would a single man want a 5 bedroom house? I do not want to know. And then there is the other extreme. Families with 10 people and no income. We had a request from a nice couple last Friday. But Juergen was at his dad’s house this weekend. They signed a rental agreement with someone else on Saturday. Our loss. I’ve gotten over the idea of finding someone for Oct 1st. I feel like we will just need to pay the mortgage a few more months. It’s a sad waste of time and money, but I’m remarkably calm about it. I was feeling so desperate until I turned down the couple that smoked. They would have paid the mortgage Oct 1st but I said no. Once you decide you are going to get picky you might as well wait for what you really want! And no offence to my friends that smoke. I just don’t want to repaint walls that have smoke damage. My sister Shelley told me what a nightmare that can be. It seems crazy to be picky in this economy, but also crazy not to be.

I think it's better than getting into even a worse position than you are now.

Olivia is born

My niece had a beautiful baby girl named Olivia Rose (Beautiful name). Everyone is very excited and thank God healthy! Congratulations to the whole family! Hugs to my sister Shelley who is now a proud grandma for the 2nd time. My sister Dianna has 6 grand kids (I think). My brother and I are too young for such an blessing. At least our kids are too young. I'm going to have to wait to be called grandma. Here is a cool picture I took off Shelley's blog. It shows Eric (the tired but proud grandpa) Lissa with her first daughter Charlotte, and then a sleeping Olivia Rose. 3 generations in one shot. How fast life goes by! How beautiful life can be!

painting the garage

Rick goes home in the morning. I'm sure he will be happy to see his kids again. 3 weeks is along time to be away. The time has passed so fast. It's been really wonderful! So wonderful!!! We may stay up all night, that way he can sleep well on the flight. Hopefully his jet lag will be less this way! Anyway, here is his painting. It turned out more then good! I really love it...just like I love my brother! We will have to do this again soon!

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.
