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. We did the cutting at the Cainz home center (one cut 50 JPY with member card). Finally spring is there and the frogs are croaking day and night and the grasshoppers are hopping. With other words it was again highly meditative. PS: I did my first kite session after the accident.... it had to be to loose the fear.... but don't te...

I had a system to keep better note down all the choices of soft floors, ceilings and tiles. Let’s see if the team get’s everything right. Luckily I guess it is all interchangeable.

This is the catalog I chose the wallpaper from.

Ceiling:

Kitchen Wall, Entrance bathroom and wash basin:

Wall at terrace door:

This was an option for the wall but I decided it is too much wood design:

This is the catalog I chose the cushion floor from:

After some back and force I settled for the tile design since there is already a lot of wood colors. My first choice was a more dark floor but after sticking some black tape on the floor I realized that the contrast is too much. I also changed the tiles in toilet from black to the same color.
