Happy New Year from the cozy living room of our new home!
In late 2023, we moved out of our house to rebuild on the same property, spending the requisite 7 months in a nearby rental apartment. It was humbling and exciting to view the site on our routine morning walk, as we went from razing (the old home) to raising (the new roof). Our motivation was to live in an airtight structure with great insulation, solar panels, 21 st century quake resistance, and floor heating everywhere except minor closets.
The photo depicts us with the site manager (beside me) and our sales rep (beside Masaru) on official “house handover” day in June 2024. (Our housekeys are electronic, which is also interesting.)
We wish each of you a peaceful and fulfilling 2025 with happy adventures of your own. We look forward to hearing about them!
