Even though the house is essentially ready, and usable for guests, Tomo and PeterA came up with Victor and me to put a strong effort into fixing some "cosmetic" outstanding items. Even though cosmetic, they were no less hard and tiresome: I applied a finishing layer of mud plaster to the remaining wall panels. Some of them still had the first "scratch" layer of mud, and now needed a more beautiful finish. Some others consisted of the original blackened old mud cover, that was dirty and cracked.

Tomo focused on detail work, such as staining wood parts with natural oil, and tackling other smaller jobs.
Peter and Victor kept me supplied with mud mixture.
This weekend was very special for us in the sense, that for the first time we were able to use the fully functioning designer kitchen. You can see Peter on dish wash duty.

We also had great fun in the evening, when we took off to Ueda with Hiroyuki, our local service manager. Admittedly, we only had curry at the excellent Jaipur restaurant, but after a hard day's work, there is nothing like a proper Butter Chicken Curry!

Wow, wonderful work you did there! Congratulations - I really like the mud structure and the kitchen just makes me want to use it.
Must be really hard and lots of lots of work but it's "paying off" isn't it (not literally maybe but...)?!
Hi Mariko,
all four of us feel totally knackered and despite Onsen, and massage chair, have muscle pain. Nevertheless its so much fun do this kind of physical work, that in a way your mind is much refreshed for the next week.
As for paying off, please feel free to make a reservation ;-) it may not be perfect yet, but while the summer lasts its really nice for a break.
Hi Patrick,
