People dont get sick that often. 1 or 2 times a year. Or less.

But: What if one of the car owners has to work overtime? THAT happens frequently.

I live in germany and i dont know how exactly a farmer market is organized across the ocean. I gues somehow like a german "Wochenmarkt". Or not?
The reason for higher prices might be the cost of manpower. At a typical german "Wochenmarkt", the farmer brings only a small truckload to the market and he stands beside his grocerys all the time, ready to answer your questions. Ready for some smalltalk about weather, recipes etc. That is time that must be calculated into the grocerys price.

In a supermarket, few person deliver lots of truckloads of grocerys to the supermarket and the food just lies there wating for you but without a farmer ready to answer your questions or doing some smalltalk. That is how the lower price is made.

Sorry for my english, i am not a native speaker.

I live in germany and i visit flea markets quite often. But i have never seen these models on a german flea market.

I guess these models are "Gesellenstücke" from people who learn to be a machinist. You have to learn for three years and at the end there is a theoretical and a practical test the "Gesellenprüfung" When you've done everything allright in that test, you are a "Handwerkergeselle".

I dont think that this place is safe. What happens when there is a fire with a lot of smoke and you need help?

I cant imagine firefighters climbing that ladder with their full equipment.

What if you slip and fall in the shower, break a leg and need medical help? A litter down that ladder?

In my eyes, this building is a death trap.

I have no idea how to repair them. But i have an idea how to make new candles in this design. You need some extralarge candles, a woodworking lathe and colored wax.
Use the woodworking lathe to cut this ball design.
Try different lathe-speeds and candle temperatures (maybe out of a refrigerator?) to find out best conditions.
In the end, dip the candles into the melted colored wax.

If you follow the link, you can read that "Gold Key $4 is custom made for your keyboard, hence development and production will take some time"

I assume that you have to sent your own key and they gold-plate it. So it fits perfect to your keyboard.

I say its D, because it looks most handmade.

But i most like B.

C looks like some cheap crap while A and B are not my style.

This is way too small to be a dining room. Imagine 4 people sitting on that chairs!
That room should be some kind of small office or a bedroom for 1 person.

Have two electric switches in every room. One for light, one for all other electricity.

So you dont have to unplugg all that single devices. You switch off an entire rooms electricity as easy as you switch off the light!

If your doors are cracking because of ageing and regular use and not because of you hammering them then your landlord must pay new interior doors!

Many of my books are used, too! If you want to make a great present to a bookworm consider an antique first edition of a book.
