Front views

In a daring bid to procrastinate on dissertation writing, I bring you a new Ogura Mansion update! Well, it's a good one, I think, because finally the siding has now moved its way around to the front of the house, and finally we can take a peek at how the house will pretty much look (minus the hammock, trees and other spectacular, colourful objects d'jour that will grace out lives...eventually!).


The balcony above will also have a railing installed later.

That ain't no McMansion, that's an Ogura Mansion!

Look at it, waiting for its family...such personality!
Second floor balcony, now with most of the siding done.
The genkkan (entrance). This will tiles on the lower part.
This is the inside of one of the storage cupboards. The wood is called "hinoki", and is used on the inside of cupboards to get rid of mould. Most housing companies would change a lot of extra money for this - with San Tanaka, we didn't even have to ask for it! And it smells beautiful. Hinoki is Japanese Cypress.

OK, back to uni work : (
