Re: Why are you happy today?

Happy Birthday from me too!
Hope you had a good one!

- Do we already have a Birthday thread here? If not, maybe we should start one?

Re: Gardening

Is just me to prefer a wild garden? Better for the Umwelt, for my time schedule. And I also find it better looking. Definitely with you one that! Last week I finally mowed the lawn for the first time this year -amazing how much bigger the garden looks now! We also want to trim the bushes and small ...

Re: The Weather

Well, after thunder storms last night, and a bit of an overcast but humid day, the air has finally cleared and we have a nice, relatively cool evening - lovely!!!

Re: Gardening

Ah, yes, I see the problem now! I think you should definitely go for constructing something yourself, but possible using materials purchased through Kleinanzeigen or something like that - definitely cheaper than buying new. If you were a little closer, I would give you some of our plants, as we have...

Do/did you actually have a GP in Germany before going to work abroad?
If so, maybe s/he could advise you(?)

Re: Why are you unhappy today?

To add something on topic, today I'm unhappy because I've messed up a chance at, at least a good friendship, but also possibly more. And that reminds me how tired I am of having to be the only one who looks after me. At least there's still chocolate. ;) Yes, and I`m unhappy that it´s become so bloo...

Re: Why are you unhappy today?

I returned from holiday few days ago and found over 70% of my loved tomato plants severely suffered from blight. No way to rescue them. Soooooooooooooo sad. Not happy. Sorry to hear you are having a bad tom year! Most of ours are under the balcony, so have quite some protection from the elements - ...

Re: Why are you happy today?

Wait. Does "spreading the costs" make them less? :lol: Of course not! What I like to do is to buy presents that I know people will enjoy receiving, as and when I see them on sale. I was really happy to have found something appropriate, but now, thanks to your comment, I am just sad and pi...

Re: Gardening

Need some advice on this one please! Our house runs parallel to the road, with the carpentry workshop door at one end, and the house door at the other. The workshop door is the first one you reach as you come onto the property. At the other end of the house, about 3 meters from the house door, and t...

Re: Whats up in the South?

We are on our way back home to Konstanz after 2 weeks at the Bauernhof in Bayern and we just stopped at Cafe Huttner at Inning am Ammersee. Doesn’t @Robinson100 or another of you live near or on that lake? Inning seems very nice although I wish we had had time to actually see the lake. We decided t...

Exactly!
But also, the insurances that we have looked at so far include items such as electricity costs whilst panels are being replaced, etc

Actually, I have just been looking on Verivox, and I could get insurance for €56/year, which is not bad, IMO....

During the day, we plan to be running the carpentry workshop from this, with various machines and stuff, and then, of course the living quarters..... heating, lighting, etc. The buildin...

Re: My Photovoltaikanlage

I have a question for those with a PV Anlage - what about insurance? We have received a quote to have PV installed, plus a 30KW Battery. The PV would consist of 64 panels. I am now starting to look into how to insure the whole thing, and bearing in mind that a few years back there was a case in Garm...

Re: eBay issue - advice please

A stupid situation, but I guess I would just refund the money and tell the guy to let you know if the goods eventually do turn up.
Whilst there are a few "dodgy" characters on Ebay, it most certainly isn´t all of them, and you might just get lucky.
