Is 200 may be 240V possible in Japan. Some kitchen appliances here in europe take a lot. It turned out beutiful sad to see the reduction of the engawa but the space inside is more impotant. I am just love the engawa but then the house needs to be bigger to be able to enjoy them 😊

I just want to share you that there is always love, hope, forgiveness of sins and eternal life in Jesus. If you come to Him with a sincere and humble repented heart, He can save you and forgive you and give you abundance of joy, love and peace and eternal life. Believe in Jesus: He is The Son of God, He died for our sins and He rose from the dead, Believe in Jesus. “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” -John 3:16 “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.” -Romans 10:9 Repent and Believe in Jesus.

That’s a beautiful house, man. Aesthetically, it has a lot in common with our place. (Woody, exposed beams, open floor plan and big windows.) But I love how you let the character of the original place shine through, and the traditional Japanese elements too. I was imagining something more like that for my own place, but ironically, my wife (who is Japanese) vetoed anything ‘too Japanese’ looking. 😆

Don't feel bad about modifying your property work for you. I think you're smart to consider how you'll be able to maintain the property as you get older. Plus, you don't want your home to own you! If you want the freedom to travel around in your RV and enjoy retirement one day you shouldn't feel chained to the maintenance of your property. You're working smarter not harder.
