Taifun and Earthquake

We went one more time to inspect the house on Sunday. What a day! A powerful Typhoon hit Honshu and inundated the country with massive rain falls. A lot of rain, but still the Shinkansen securely carried me to Ueda on time.

Tomo brought his family, as well as an intern. While both of us discussed necessary jobs and rebuilding measures, the intern was busy taking accurate measurements of the interior.

Despite massive rainfall, we were glad to see that the interior of the house remained absolutely dry!

A signing date was agreed with the agent, so that we can soon complete the transaction.

On the next day though, another disaster: Earthquake level 6+ in Niigata. Another test? Again the building withstood the tremors - it is a sturdy little house!
