Golden Week - big wastewater drainage cleaning!

Saturday May 7th was big wastewater drainage day in Futtsu. The city supplied hemp bags for the mud. It was an experience I did not want to have missed. There was about 10 cm of mud on the bottom of the drainage.  Our friendly neighbor kindly introduced me to the efficient technique.  In the end 6 hemp bags were full.  What else happened during this pleasant Golden Week holiday with great weather and also a bit of wind :) We did some work in the house and added some wooden boards to the wash basin and kitchen cabinets.  We used the same panels as was used by our 大工さん which turned out to be the cheapest and most easy one to process.

Tatami removal and Ceiling

This weekend was all about the removal of the Tatamis. One Tatami weighs about 26 kg and we transported 16 mats to the local garbage centers (富津市環境センター) .

After this we returned to take a look behind the ceiling, hoping to find the cause for the water leaking. We could not really find the leak but discovered a very beautiful wooden structure with large wooden beams behind gehe ceiling. We will surely keep it open like this.




I discovered some small holes in the beams most probable made by insects and hope we get no bad surprise.


An exiting day came to an end. But the highlight was still to come with a Yoga lesson from a very special person and teacher. Live is good! I am grateful for all the people who join me on this Journey.
