I would like to see Muratasan’s solution to heavily damaged dirt walls (tsuchikabe). Mice, birds, or wasps have eaten several holes in the tsuchikabe of my house including through the bamboo latice. I don’t think that I can repair this properly and my idea is to remove the tschikabe and install white exterior siding, foam insulation and interior panels. But, I would like to retain the original look of the house and keep the exterior beams visible.
