Congrats Paul! That looks like a beautiful 125 year old Japanese farm house.. seems totally acceptable to take a break from your amazing build for some work on the home front :)!
You should have seen it before we started cleaning. It was literally full to the ceiling with three generations' worth of stuff. Some, like the 100yo chests, a map/diagram of a Japanese temple in Taiwan from when they occupied it, coins dating to the late 1800s, were awesome. Other stuff, like a box full of flattened candy wrappers, less so. It's taken us four months to empty it and clean. You can see the progress from when we first went to look at the house to about two weeks ago here: http://fradale.net/La_Dolce_Vita/Jap...Japan_XII.html
Looks really nice.
How will your commute be?
We're still renting a house in Kawasaki for now, so this home is a weekend/holiday retreat. It will take me the better part of a decade to renovate it by myself. I can commute from it on my literbike in 70', however.
That is just awesome. It looks like the makings of a Ghibli movie just waiting to happen. At the very least it looks like the setting of one. Reminds me of My Neighbor Totoro and Wolf Children (not a Ghibili film).

I have JUST started shooting with the Nikon d3300(18-55mm lens) I picked up a few weeks ago so please forgive my amateur level and use of the auto feature. Here are a couple of my 17 month old granddaughter Onyx.
