It was kind of amazing getting Jessica back to the car. We left the apartment at 6:30 and walked to the Grand Canal. She was willing to get on a water taxi and ride one stop to the train station. We were just one bridge from the people mover (a train that takes you to the car park off the island). Just one bridge away, but she would not cross that bridge. She was too afraid.  So we waited with her for about an hour. It was so frustrating for all of us.  But the girls managed it much better then when we first arrived in Venice.  Finally we got on another water taxi with her. It crossed the canal (a 30 second ride) and we got off. So finally we could take the train to the car. But the road was full of traffic jams. It took 16 hours to get home. But we are here! And I could kiss the ground!

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
