Some friends of ours recently built a house and invited us to go and see it just before they moved in. They told us that when they laid the foundations, they made sure to go along and see that the steel was straight (apparently this makes a big difference, especially in Japan, the land of earthquakes!). We happened to pop along this morning to check out progress, and were just in time to check out the straightness of the steel that will be inside the concrete of our foundation. We were pretty happy!
Also, just a note that might be interesting for some of you, in Japan, it is a very wise idea to regularly take your builders treats. As summer has now fully hit us here in the last few days, and we have two different constructors working away (one on the foundation, the other on the water pipes) we thought we'd better pop up with some cold drinks and snacks. As a result, we also got to have a little chat, which was nice. Here are today's pics!
