The Second of February- an good day as any other to celebrate the near completion of Bamboo house’s makeover. There are still a few walls left to paint, shelves to put up, the kitchen to sort out and a lot of cleaning to do but Bamboo house has a lovely cute bathroom and toilet, strong secure walls, ceilings and floor, and a verandah with the best view in town!
今日は大感謝パーテイ。そろそろ完成すると信じられないなー！まだ大そうじが必要ですが、かわいくて茶室っぽいのお風呂場と、丈夫な壁や天井、床で、京都の最高にきれいなながめ風景が見えるベランダーが出来あがって、びっくりしました。。。
The sliding door to the bathroom, with Megumi Abe’s cute stained glass window at the top.
茶室っぽいお風呂場に出来上がったドアー。阿部さんのかわいいステーンドグラッスがはいている。
The boys in the front room with their feet in the completed horikotatsu.
堀こたつが出来上がりました！
Katsuyoshi working like the devil- as always! He managed to finish the ceiling of the front room and fit a beautiful sunken footwell (a horikotatsu) in one afternoon. It was his last day working on the house and I really appreciate his precision and diligent work ethic.
川村様はいつも一所懸命に働いてくれました。３時間の間で楽に天井も彫りこたつも仕上がり、本当にかんどうしました！
The carefully plastered wall of the bathroom from the outside. The little window makes it look like a retro kyoto warehouse.
石工はあまりにも丁寧に頑張ったのに。。。
The bathroom- almost finished- in the sunshine.
教会って感じだよね！
Look- the ridiculously hard working Kimura san having a well deserved break!
お疲れ様木村さん！
The finished deck in the sunshine.
There isn’t a picture of me covered in plaster, owing to the danger to my camera, as that stuff gets everywhere and then you can’t wash it off. I’ve got a very stylish wine coloured zip up nylon outfit to wear while I slap on the whte stuff like a kid in a playground. It’s fun!
