Chalk paint

Philip and I started to chalk paint this cabinet. The cabinet will be sold to support MOPS child care. This is a group that supports mothers with young children. We provide free child care during our meetings. The money will help us pay for the child care. The cabinet is 160x 200cm. The bottom is 75cm deep, and the top is 55cm. I will remove the top doors. The inside will be a light mint green. The entire cabinet is being waxed in a pale grey. I would like 200 Euros (or more) for this cabinet. It should be finished and ready to move in 4 weeks. It is best not to move it before the wax is hard My Mom noticed I put the doors on backwards. So I fixed it. This is what it looks like now.

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
