It's super nice (and hot) during the day, but in the afternoons the thunder clouds develop and we often get pouring rain that washes away the gravel roads, making them worse and worse to drive on. But it's nice that the weather cools down in the afternoon and it's quite chilly at night so we can still snuggle in our blankets without sweating to death like in the cities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;これは何の獣の泥んこ足だ～？！&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;What monsters muddy feet are these?!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-AXxPIubm0v0/Th7o3TdOgnI/AAAAAAAAF14/UnoIL-ok-pU/s1600/P7033884.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="display: inline !important; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-AXxPIubm0v0/Th7o3TdOgnI/AAAAAAAAF14/UnoIL-ok-pU/s320/P7033884.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;私のですが、なにか？&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;You have a problem?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-667ws-l6KDE/Th7o3yp8OFI/AAAAAAAAF2A/9HMCPTp8Mjo/s1600/P7033885.JPG" style="clear: left; display: inline !important; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-667ws-l6KDE/Th7o3yp8OFI/AAAAAAAAF2A/9HMCPTp8Mjo/s320/P7033885.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-AXxPIubm0v0/Th7o3TdOgnI/AAAAAAAAF14/UnoIL-ok-pU/s1600/P7033884.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; color: black;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;そんなチャウの写真を撮りながら、ゆっくり散歩を楽しんでいたある午後、突然国際村の図書室がある建物の中から ”おい、お前ら、今なにしている？暇か?”と大きな声が・・・ 国際村に住む山男のおじ様たちが図書室の整理をしていた。&lt;br /&gt;一度捕まったら、もう逃げられない。おとなしく図書室の整理を手伝った。&lt;br /&gt;So one day as I was taking silly pictures of Chow during our walk, suddenly I hear a "Hey!! What are you guys doing? Are you busy??" We came across the NLA library and a couple of hard working members re-sorting all the books. We didn't have any reason not to, so we helped them out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bI2Fk8j-ONM/Th7o4k8-IcI/AAAAAAAAF2Q/lL3EW0OLiL8/s1600/P7033895.JPG"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bI2Fk8j-ONM/Th7o4k8-IcI/AAAAAAAAF2Q/lL3EW0OLiL8/s320/P7033895.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;これは整理した後の写真。ほぼすべての本の順番がぐちゃぐちゃでものすごいホコリとカビだらけだったのをなんとかここまで整理した。国際村が始まったのが80年以上前で、この本の中にもかなり年期がはいっているものがたくさんあった。一冊60円の本だったり、1950年の子育ての本とか。本っていくら古くてもなかなか捨てられない。誰も読まないだろう本でも、なにか価値があるような気がする。その本が書かれた時代の時間がそのまま止まって、その本に残されているような、そんな感じ。&lt;br /&gt;This picture was taken after we cleaned up. All the books were out of order and everything was covered in dust and mold, but we were able to put it all into pretty good shape. There is a long history of NLA that shows through these books. Books that has a price tag of just 60 cents, &amp;nbsp;a guide to parenting written in the 1950s... It's hard to throw books away, they are like a token from the past and even if it seems like noone will read some of the books, it's not easy to get rid of books with such history.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vjPNreTeCis/Th7o6cy97vI/AAAAAAAAF2w/0swJoQMPrNA/s1600/P7084078.JPG"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vjPNreTeCis/Th7o6cy97vI/AAAAAAAAF2w/0swJoQMPrNA/s320/P7084078.JPG" style="cursor: move;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;先週末はたくさんのお客様が来た。週末は船で一緒だったまだ学生さんの若い二人。みんなでご飯作って、夜はウクレレやギターで声をマックスに出して歌を歌ったり（まだ近所いないから）、昼間は地元のジャム屋さんのお手伝いとか、湖に泳いだりとかで結構遊びまくった。本当は畑の草取りや、家も窓拭きなどやらせて、こき使おうと思っていたのに、楽しくって遊ぶのに夢中になっちゃいました。&lt;br /&gt;Last week we had a couple of young friends who we travelled with come visit us. Originally, I had planned to use their young energy to help me pull weeds in the garden and clean the windows and such, but we were so busy having fun there was no time for work. During the day we helped a local jam-maker make jam, we swam in the lake and just was busy enjoying the outdoors. At night we cooked together and sang along to Daisuke ukulele.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-S5Wy7RSrcac/Th7o5V4JPNI/AAAAAAAAF2Y/vlNx-u8SiX4/s1600/P7124093.JPG"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-S5Wy7RSrcac/Th7o5V4JPNI/AAAAAAAAF2Y/vlNx-u8SiX4/s320/P7124093.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;その後、大ちゃんのおばあちゃんたちが来て、このあたりの観光をした。あまり観光っぽいことやったことなかったから結構おもしろかった。特に私が興奮したのは小布施にあった光の美術館。昔から現代まで、日本人が使っていた明かりを展示してあったんだけど、そこで昔の人が使っていた油のたんころとか、ろうそくとか。前からどんな油を燃やしていたのか気になっていて、この美術館でいろいろ知ることができた。実は、油はなんでもいいんだよね。植物性の油や動物の脂、いろいろ燃料にして、ずーと生活をしていたんだな。美術館で井草（昔たんころの芯になったもの）を売っていたから、買って、さっそく家で古いオリーブオイルを燃料に燃やしてみた。こんな簡単なものなんだーっと当たり前かもしれないけど、私にはとても新鮮で素晴らしく思えた。&lt;br /&gt;Next Daisuke's grandmother and her sister came to visit so we took them to do more touristy stuff. We really haven't been to a lot of the touristy places so it was fun for us too. One place I really enjoyed was the Light Museum in Obuse. It displayed all the types of lighting tools used in the history of Japan. &amp;nbsp;I always wondered what oil they burned in oil lamps back in the day, and I was able to learn a lot at the museum. Actually, they burned all kinds of oil. I guess if it is oil, it will burn, from vegetable oil to animal fat. They sold the old fashion wicks (a type of grass also used for tatami) so I bought some and tried making a oil lamp out of old olive oil and it was beautiful. The simplicity of it may be common sense, but to me it was a new and exciting experience to burn that simple light.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cCy8li4LpIk/Th7o22tNClI/AAAAAAAAF1o/oO9HtZwnloA/s1600/P7023838.JPG"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cCy8li4LpIk/Th7o22tNClI/AAAAAAAAF1o/oO9HtZwnloA/s320/P7023838.JPG" style="cursor: move;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-NVp_wn_KYk0/Th7o6miUmdI/AAAAAAAAF24/XSV-FkjSehc/s1600/P7053930.JPG"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-NVp_wn_KYk0/Th7o6miUmdI/AAAAAAAAF24/XSV-FkjSehc/s320/P7053930.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="clear: both; text-align: CENTER;"&gt;今夜は久しぶりに二人の静かな夜。&lt;br /&gt;大介はウクレレ弾いたり、私は水彩画を描いてみたり(ブログを書いたり）。&lt;br /&gt;毎日がやりたいことがたくさんあって、&lt;br /&gt;一緒にいたい人がたくさんいて、&lt;br /&gt;いい夏になりそうだ！&lt;br /&gt;Tonight we are spending our usual quiet evenings&lt;br /&gt;as Daisuke practices his ukulele and I draw some watercolor pictures (and write my blog).&lt;br /&gt;With so many things we want to do&lt;br /&gt;and so many people we want to spend time with,&lt;br /&gt;I get a good feeling that it's going to be a nice summer.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7147601515146633402-4037928038728711730?l=nojiricabin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nojiricabin.blogspot.com/feeds/4037928038728711730/comments/default' title='コメントの投稿'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://nojiricabin.blogspot.com/2011/07/another-days-walk-and-guests.html#comment-form' title='0 件のコメント'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7147601515146633402/posts/default/4037928038728711730'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7147601515146633402/posts/default/4037928038728711730'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nojiricabin.blogspot.com/2011/07/another-days-walk-and-guests.html' title='ある日のお散歩とお客さん Another day&apos;s walk and guests'/><author><name>Chowchow</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13712345987756130956</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-H9NcSeb5LK0/Th7o3EGzRuI/AAAAAAAAF1w/_NX-Z0QPD4c/s72-c/P7033847.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7147601515146633402.post-1534310042004293627</id><published>2011-07-07T21:04:00.000+09:00</published><updated>2011-07-07T21:04:49.351+09:00</updated><title type='text'>登山・妙高山 Climbed Myoko Mtn</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

It's about an hour drive to the trail entrance in Sasagamine, and we saw a few monkeys on the way. Japanese monkeys are cute but known to be vicious so we didn't stop for pictures.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Upon arriving at Sasagamine we were surrounded by beautiful scenery and perfect weather. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-z5kBgFdN-8E/ThWALur20pI/AAAAAAAAF04/kb5Ww5RVikE/s1600/P7063995.JPG" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="150" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-z5kBgFdN-8E/ThWALur20pI/AAAAAAAAF04/kb5Ww5RVikE/s200/P7063995.JPG" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-MbTs3_2B_2Q/ThWAMlsOy8I/AAAAAAAAF1Q/sUXLUcZtDzY/s1600/P7063987.JPG" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="200" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-MbTs3_2B_2Q/ThWAMlsOy8I/AAAAAAAAF1Q/sUXLUcZtDzY/s200/P7063987.JPG" width="150" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; color: black;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-IlPS2qAbISA/ThWAKeAfd-I/AAAAAAAAF0Q/KZ6WXegHfNE/s1600/P7064048.JPG" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;最初の方は結構平らで、らくちん、るんるん気分で登っていたら、途中から12曲がりという試練が待ち構えていた。爺返しと婆返しがあると本に書いてあったけど、この12曲がりはソフィア返しになりそうだった。岩の登るのはまだ楽しいけど、以外と階段がちゃんと設備されているほうが、私はしんどい。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;私の父が若かった頃、夜中にスイカ担いで妙高の山頂で朝日を見てたと言っていたけど、この時私の父は超人だったんだなと思った。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-QwG-xNbJQ8I/ThWAKY9q0NI/AAAAAAAAF0Y/k_f4EE-I6bk/s1600/P7064040.JPG" style="clear: left; display: inline !important; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-QwG-xNbJQ8I/ThWAKY9q0NI/AAAAAAAAF0Y/k_f4EE-I6bk/s320/P7064040.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;The trail started out nice and easy until we reached the '12 corners' which was 12 turns and corners that were steep and endless. My father said he used to climb this mountain at night to see the sun rise from the top, carrying a watermelon to eat there... At this point I realized what a crazy youth my father must have been!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;山の頂上に近づくとだんだん雪の量も多くなっていった。7月に入ってもこんなに雪が残ってるなんてびっくりした。名古屋や東京でヒーヒー言っている家族に持って帰りたいとおもったくらい。雪の上を通り抜ける涼しい風は本当に天然エアコンそのもの。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;この写真の先の方に見えるのがだいちゃん。歩くのが早くって、私は着いて行くのに精一杯。って、こんなに離されたら、ついていけてないよね・・・&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;As we climbed higher, there were more and more piles of unmelted snow. It was surprising to see how much snow there was in July! I wished I could take some to my family in Tokyo and Nagoya who are suffering from the heat and humidity in the cities. What a pleasure it was to feel the cool breeze as the wind passed these piles of snow.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;山の頂上は本当にまだ春になったばかりみたいで、山桜が咲いていた。(右の写真）&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;緑も新緑で、小さな花々がたくさん咲いていて、鳥がいっぱい鳴いていた。人もほとんどいなかったから、熊よけにラジオをつけようと思ったけど、鳥や虫や水や風の音が聞こえなくって、すぐに消した。その代わりたまにソフィアが熊さんに逃げてもらうように歌を歌ったけどね。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Toward the top of the mountain was just entering spring season and the cherry blossom trees was still blooming small flowers. The trees had their new greens sprouting and the birds sand happily around us. To avoid bears, I had brought a radio and turned it on, but turned it off quickly as it disturbed the wonderful sounds of birds, bugs and wind around us. Occasionally I would sing a song to let the bears know we were coming.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ge-SXg_1N2A/ThWAKs0_2pI/AAAAAAAAF0g/t-0Rvsl5cxE/s1600/P7064034.JPG" style="clear: left;

Although I kind of miss watching the fire at night, our wood stove is our TV after all.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-v0kP6OE9Xkk/Tg3NVfkzYxI/AAAAAAAAFzI/1THUUDY7jEE/s1600/P6283788.JPG" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="150" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-v0kP6OE9Xkk/Tg3NVfkzYxI/AAAAAAAAFzI/1THUUDY7jEE/s200/P6283788.JPG" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;よく雨が降る野尻だから、梅雨なんて、&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;すごーく&lt;/strong&gt;降る。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;もう、大雨で道がぼろぼろになってます。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;昼間は大体ちょっと晴れてるけど、&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;午後になると霧が入ってきて、気温がぐんと下がる。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;霧がすごい時は周りの森も見えなくなるくらい。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;It's rainy season in Japan, and it rains a lot here in Nojiri, rainy season or not. So the pouring rain has really messed up the roads here. The none-cement roads are nice but the damage from the rain every year gets worse and its becoming kinda dangerous to drive on some of the roads in the mountain.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Even on sunny days, a thick fog comes in in the late afternoon or evening and the&amp;nbsp;temperature&amp;nbsp;drops significantly. Sometimes the fog is so thick we can't even see the forest right outside our window.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;It's like living in a cloud, but comforting in a way.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-MEoCnIKIiOE/Tg3NXO6YqaI/AAAAAAAAFz4/hqpwpD6hGkg/s1600/P6283780.JPG" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="150" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-MEoCnIKIiOE/Tg3NXO6YqaI/AAAAAAAAFz4/hqpwpD6hGkg/s200/P6283780.JPG" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;船を下りて、あの大忙しの日々の時間の流れから、&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;野尻の生活の時間の流れのペースの戻るまで、&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;ちょっと戸惑いもあったけど、今はだいぶ落ち着いた。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rZbqXCgpXp4/Tg3NXAvykGI/AAAAAAAAFzw/NY777veOW_8/s1600/P6263765.JPG" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="150" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rZbqXCgpXp4/Tg3NXAvykGI/AAAAAAAAFzw/NY777veOW_8/s200/P6263765.JPG" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;なんやかんやでこの2ヶ月もいろいろあったし。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;弟の結婚式をここでやり、その準備をする前に、&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;近所のお爺さん、おばあさんの薪割りを手伝っていたら、&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;ぎっくり腰になり、1週間くらい動くのが辛かったり。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;大介が東京行ったり、私も出稼ぎに東京に行ったり。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;畑もずーと寒くって芽が出なかったのも、最近はぐんぐん野菜も育ち始めた。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;家では毎日料理して、保存食のレパートリーを広げようとしている。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;ジャムはよく作るけど、ルバーブのシルップ漬けとか、&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;遊びに来てくれたLとつくったミントシロップとか、梅干とか。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;梅干は今年初めての挑戦。うまくいくといいけど。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Ever since getting off the hectic life on the boat, I struggled a bit to get back to my slower rhythm here in Nojiri, but I am starting to get settled down again.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-NmxJMdin5a4/Tg3NVm6kUUI/AAAAAAAAFzQ/JMGfit-M4Vg/s1600/P6293804.JPG" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="150" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-NmxJMdin5a4/Tg3NVm6kUUI/AAAAAAAAFzQ/JMGfit-M4Vg/s200/P6293804.JPG" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;A lot has happened in the last 2 months. My twin brother's wedding was held here, and although we were busy preparing for it, I threw my back the week before helping some elder folk stock wood and I could barely move for a week or so. I now have endless&amp;nbsp;sympathy&amp;nbsp;for anyone with a bad back.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;I have also been trying to increase the amount of preserved food we make. I make a lot of jam, and also learned how to keep rubarb sticks in a syrup (nice and crunchy), made mint syrup out of my mint forest in my garden and am now working on making umeboshi (sour plums). Hopefull it goes well.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-aZwhvJFxcRU/Tg3NVAnO6oI/AAAAAAAAFzA/na0j55-0Mcc/s1600/P4213558.JPG" style="clear: left; display: inline !important; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="300" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-aZwhvJFxcRU/Tg3NVAnO6oI/AAAAAAAAFzA/na0j55-0Mcc/s400/P4213558.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="clear: both; text-align: CENTER;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;とにかく、焦らないようにしている。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;あれも、これもで、本当にいろいろあるけど、&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;自然の中にいるんだから、自然の時間の流れもちゃんと感じれるように、&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;深呼吸をして、観察して、ゆっくり、冷静に過ごしたい。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;突っ走ろうと焦る未熟な私をチャウチャウも教えてくれる。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;そんなに急がなくっていいんだよって。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;There seems to be so much that I want to do, need to do or should do.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;But I am trying not to rush. Being surrounded by nature, what is the point if I don't appreciate nature's rhythm? If I don't stop and breathe the fresh air and observe my surroundings? When I start feeling a sense of urgency and uncertainty, my dog is around to remind me,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;it's okay to take it slow.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7147601515146633402-253745268732666788?l=nojiricabin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nojiricabin.blogspot.com/feeds/253745268732666788/comments/default' title='コメントの投稿'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://nojiricabin.blogspot.com/2011/07/blog-post.html#comment-form' title='1 件のコメント'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7147601515146633402/posts/default/253745268732666788'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7147601515146633402/posts/default/253745268732666788'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nojiricabin.blogspot.com/2011/07/blog-post.html' title='梅雨'/><author><name>Chowchow</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13712345987756130956</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7A7Lckd8-DI/Tg3NVP-Ne-I/AAAAAAAAFy4/MeirdV3v21w/s72-c/CIMG8042.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7147601515146633402.post-5603378461197033984</id><published>2011-05-30T15:14:00.000+09:00</published><updated>2011-05-30T15:14:53.237+09:00</updated><title type='text'>ブログ再開？～ A new start!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"&gt;&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-4SYKm0CyizY/TeMYW_-NTdI/AAAAAAAAFyY/A1i93AT94k0/s1600/P4025997.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-4SYKm0CyizY/TeMYW_-NTdI/AAAAAAAAFyY/A1i93AT94k0/s320/P4025997.JPG" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;大介船長。Captain Daisuke.&lt;br /&gt;大丈夫かいな・・・&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;またまた、ご無沙汰してます！&lt;br /&gt;なにせ、気まぐれブログですから、&lt;br /&gt;今日みたいに外が嵐で、大介が東京で、一人で暇な時にやっと書く気になる、相変わらずマイペースなんです。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;私たち夫婦は1ヶ月ほど前に長野に戻ってきました。冬の間は盛りだくさんの旅を続けていたので、帰ってきて、なにかホッとしています。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;冬の間どこに行っていたかというと、まず、ハワイで友達の家作りのお手伝いに一ヶ月ほど。その後は名古屋に里帰りしたり、沖縄で寒い思いしたりして、&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;また1ヶ月ほど。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;そして、1月から4月の間はピースボートでボランティア通訳として、世界一周しました。&lt;br /&gt;さすがの私たちも少々旅疲れをした冬でした。そのたくさんの旅の間のたくさんの出来事をちょくちょく思い出しながら、ブログにも書いていこうと思います。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;It's been a while (again) since my last post, but it's really only days like today when it's stormy outside and Daisuke is in Tokyo, that I am motivated enough to write!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;We returned to our cozy cabin last month after a quite eventful winter, which started with a month in Hawaii helping a friend build a house, visiting family in Nagoya, freezing our butts off in Okinawa and then finally from January to April, we went onboard the Peace Boat as volunteer interpreters for a trip around the world. I hope to post pictures and write more about our travels on this blog (perhaps on another rainy day).&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;このブログも本当は家作りも完成したし、それでこのブログは終わりでいいやって思っていたけど、実は私たちが目指している生活とか、やろうとしていることの中で家作りはほんの最初の一歩で、始まりでしかない。持続可能な生活がしたくって始めた訳だから、その生活自体が本当の私たちの活動の中心のはず。だから、ブログの名前も変えて、ブログを再スタートして、私たちが体験していること、学んでいるころ、感じていること、自然な暮らしの楽しさ、そういうものをみんなとシェアできたらいいなーと思い、またブログもがんばってみます。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;私たちは世界一周している間、日本は大きな転換期を迎えた気がします。日本だけじゃなくって、世界がって言うべきかな。いつかは変わらなきゃいけない、今までの持続不可能な生活を大変な自然災害と人災である原子力発電所の事故が、これからの生活がどうあるべきかを考える大きなきっかけになっていると思う。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;そんな中、やっぱり暮らしをもっとシンプルにしていく事は必要不可欠だと思う。シンプルにしたくなくっても、そうしなければいけない世の中になっていくかもしれない。でも、私たちが伝えたいことは、シンプルな暮らし＝不便で我慢の生活じゃなくって、シンプル＝楽しくって、工夫して充実した生活だと思うこと。自分にとって大切なものがなんなのかを明白化して、それを中心に、そして無駄なものをなくしていく。そうするだけでも自分の周りにいらないものがたくさんあり、不必要なことに時間をたくさん使っていることに気づくかもしれない。それがSimplification（単純化）の始まりだと思う。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;例えば、私にとって大事なもの。それは大介、チャウ（愛犬）と過ごす時間。環境を大事にして自然に近い生活をすること。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;これが私の中心。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;これだけ維持していくのは難しいことじゃない。物もお金もあんまりいらない。必要なのは時間と環境とその生活を維持するための少しのお金をものだけ。ただそれだけ。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;なにもかもが複雑で、世界には&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, 'Arial New', 'ＭＳ Ｐ ゴシック', sans-serif;"&gt;問題が多すぎるような気がして、どうしようもない気持ちになりやすい今の世の中だからこそ、わたしはSimplificationを求めるんだと思う。そしてその中で確実に今は幸せと充実した日々を過ごしていること。感謝感謝です。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, 'Arial New', 'ＭＳ Ｐ ゴシック', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, 'Arial New', 'ＭＳ Ｐ ゴシック', sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"&gt;なんか、やたらと語っちゃったけど、私が言いたいのは私は希望を持っているということ。日本が、世界がこれから良い方に変わっていく。そしてそれが私たち一人一人の小さな、シンプルなことから始まるって思うこと。です。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, 'Arial New', 'ＭＳ Ｐ ゴシック', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, 'Arial New', 'ＭＳ Ｐ ゴシック', sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"&gt;To be honest, I initially thought that since our cabin building is (mostly) complete, that I was quite finished with this blog as well. However, the house building was really just the first step of our goal to live a more sustainable life. Actually, our lifestyle and what we learn from now on about sustainable living is really what is more important. So, I have changed the title of the blog and have decided to re-start this blog with hopes that we can share what we learn, what we feel and what we enjoy in our everyday simple life.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, 'Arial New', 'ＭＳ Ｐ ゴシック', sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, 'Arial New', 'ＭＳ Ｐ ゴシック', sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"&gt;While we were floating on the boat and travelling the world, Japan was hit by a tremendous&amp;nbsp;disaster&amp;nbsp;and in a sense has been forced to re-examine itself. The natural disaster and the man-made disaster of the nuclear power plant that followed has been a kind of wake-up call that things cannot go on the way they have.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, 'Arial New', 'ＭＳ Ｐ ゴシック', sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"&gt;In this current age, I (of course) think that the key is to simplify. Even if people don't want to, a time may come when we have no choice but to. But simplifying life does not mean that life becomes&amp;nbsp;inconvenient&amp;nbsp;and lacking. Actually, I strongly believe that it becomes more fruitful while you come up with creative ways to change things and make everyday life meaningful. At least, this has been the case for me.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, 'Arial New', 'ＭＳ Ｐ ゴシック', sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, 'Arial New', 'ＭＳ Ｐ ゴシック', sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"&gt;I think that it's because I feel that we live in an overcomplicated world with too many problems to even begin to comprehend and resolve that I seek simplification. To really reexamine things and find what is most important. In my case, it is spending time with Daisuke and ChowChow and living a life that is not harmful to nature, which I cherish and love being near to. This is what is central to me and to achieve these things is not so complicated and difficult. All it requires is time and the right environment; not a lot of money and certainly not a lot of things. And by seeking these things and ridding myself of things I don't need, at least for now, I am living a pretty happy and fruitful daily life. I have a lot to be thankful for.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, 'Arial New', 'ＭＳ Ｐ ゴシック', sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, 'Arial New', 'ＭＳ Ｐ ゴシック', sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"&gt;I am not trying to be preachy, (although I kind of ended up so). What I want to say is that I'm hopeful. Hopeful that Japan and the world will change for the better, and that change begins with the small and simple changes we make in our lives.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, 'Arial New', 'ＭＳ Ｐ ゴシック', sans-serif;

style="text-align: center;"&gt;まったくの初心者でもやろうと決めたら何とかなる。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:

style="text-align: center;"&gt;沢山ある。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;なんらかの形で、家作り、物づくり、繋がり作り、&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;環境のことを考えて、未来のことを考えて、&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;そして充実した楽しい毎日が送れるように&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;これからも頑張りたい。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div

style="text-align: center;"&gt;嵐とか好きなんだよね。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;なんかわくわくするような、&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;落ち着くような・・・&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div

style="text-align: center;"&gt;気がついたら一ヶ月とか過ぎちゃうんだもんなー。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;なんでかなー。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;怠け者だから？&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;それを言っちゃおしめーよ!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div

style="text-align: center;"&gt;さて、せっかくなので、&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;なにか写真をアップしましょう。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;この前大ちゃんの髪を切りました。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;そしておもしろい写真が撮れたので、アップします。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;見事に顔が同じ位置だから、&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;髪の変化がよく分かる。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;これを見てると一時間くらい笑える。&lt;a

Better late than never though, right?!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;As our neighbors were all gone after the summer we worked till pretty late&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;every night before we left. One night Daisuke tackled the inside wall around&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;our half circle window (which we really like) and hammered away until about 3am.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;It's as simple as cutting the wood and putting them up, but as everything else,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;simple does not mean easy, but he kept at it and it looks great, especially since &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;we used the same wood as the ceiling so it blends well. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;I was in charge of the plastering of the walls. As I mentioned before,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;we used a Japanese plaster called shikkui. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;For prep, I first put a mesh tape on the sections between the plaster boards&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;and then put pate over this and the holes made from the nails.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;This is so the plaster goes on smoothly and you can't tell where all the nails are and such.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;To mix the plaster, you need a mask and goggles cause you dont want to inhale this stuff.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Then you put water in a bucket and slowing mix in the plaster powder with&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;a big-as mixer. When you get it the right consistency you can start.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;I liked the plaster to be slightly runny (more water) since this plaster&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;drys up so quickly, and its hard to work with when its dry on the wall. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;You can't really add on top of a layer of plaster and if you try, it gets bumpy.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;This is why once you start plastering you basically have to keep going &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;until you reach the end of the wall (or you run out and need to make more plaster).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Some parts of the wall became a little bumpy, but overall I think I did well.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;More than anything, I loved doing it. I wouldn't mind doing it all day, really :)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xd36ipdHpCQ/S1w7JkATuBI/AAAAAAAAFKE/mh8M0KGX1to/s1600-h/CIMG4923.JPG"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xd36ipdHpCQ/S1w7JPg0DFI/AAAAAAAAFJ8/xLjhpjiZmrc/s1600-h/CIMG6989.JPG"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7147601515146633402-5418642397632467499?l=nojiricabin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nojiricabin.blogspot.com/feeds/5418642397632467499/comments/default' title='コメントの投稿'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://nojiricabin.blogspot.com/2010/01/winter-wonderland-finishing-walls.html#comment-form' title='1 件のコメント'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7147601515146633402/posts/default/5418642397632467499'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7147601515146633402/posts/default/5418642397632467499'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nojiricabin.blogspot.com/2010/01/winter-wonderland-finishing-walls.html' title='雪国 壁仕上げ Winter Wonderland, Finishing Walls'/><author><name>Chowchow</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13712345987756130956</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xd36ipdHpCQ/S1w7JPg0DFI/AAAAAAAAFJ8/xLjhpjiZmrc/s72-c/CIMG6989.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7147601515146633402.post-6081138092888808136</id><published>2009-12-31T20:20:00.002+09:00</published><updated>2009-12-31T20:29:28.433+09:00</updated><title type='text'>Happy New Year from New Zealand!!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xd36ipdHpCQ/SzyKI93l0LI/AAAAAAAAEq8/RPt2s97w7tM/s1600-h/CIMG3950.JPG" style="text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block;

"&gt;キッチン作りはこれから料理をするスペースとして、いろいろ考えて工夫して、とても楽しい。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left; "&gt;早くこのキッチンでいっぱい料理がしたいよーー！&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left; "&gt;Daisuke and I both enjoy cooking, so making the kitchen was an area I was excited about and&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left; "&gt;put a lot of thought into. Although since our space is very limited, there wasn't much options in general. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left; "&gt;One idea we had that we used was to make as much storage place as possible, so instead of putting a wall up in the kitchen, we decided to use the posts and make shelves out of them. I wanted shelves for jars, cups and other cooking tools so I thought a lot about the size and spacing of the shelves for the kitchen.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left; "&gt;As for the kitchen counter, we got a great deal at IKEA for a real big kitchen counter that we cut into two peices for the main kitchen and one counter on the side of the room as well. We cut open a section for the sink, and created a sturdy stand for both counters and that pretty much completed our kitchen. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left; "&gt;Daisuke was sure he wanted a fridge that opens from both sides for easy opening, and he bought the kitchen over a month ago, so its been sitting around taking up space. We are glad we can put it where it belongs now:) &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left; "&gt;We got a gas cooking stove for free from the local warehouse, so now all we need to do is connect our water and gas and we can start'a cookin'!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7147601515146633402-3325890818031179790?l=nojiricabin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nojiricabin.blogspot.com/feeds/3325890818031179790/comments/default' title='コメントの投稿'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://nojiricabin.blogspot.com/2009/11/kitchen.html#comment-form' title='0 件のコメント'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7147601515146633402/posts/default/3325890818031179790'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7147601515146633402/posts/default/3325890818031179790'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nojiricabin.blogspot.com/2009/11/kitchen.html' title='キッチン Kitchen'/><author><name>Chowchow</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13712345987756130956</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xd36ipdHpCQ/SvUamak7jnI/AAAAAAAAEN4/9n_UPNwlQn8/s72-c/CIMG4849.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7147601515146633402.post-6967927209598412253</id><published>2009-11-03T00:21:00.006+09:00</published><updated>2009-11-03T00:35:46.319+09:00</updated><title type='text'>壁２ と照明 More Walls and lights</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;うちみたいに小さな家でも、以外と壁があるもの。リビングの壁、&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;トイレ、お風呂、廊下の壁。ぜーんぶ何とかせないかん。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;まず、リビングを孤立させたいから、キッチンの裏と廊下の部分に&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;なる壁を作った。ここの木材は近所で仲良くしている人のあまりもの&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;をもらったので、それを使用。なんと、珍しく切られてバラバラじゃない&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;木材だからあっと言う間に壁が出来てしまう。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238);

There's the bathroom walls, toilet walls, hallway &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;and kitchen walls.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;For the kitchen wall, we decided to keep it open &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;and just use the back of the hallway wall. Later we&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;will make cupbourds within the walls. The wood we used&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;for the hallway is wood given to us by a local friend&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;and it was in nice long peices. So, unlike the wall making&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;we made previously, which was all in little peices,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;this wall was easy easy easy. We were done in just &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;a few minutes. So, now this must be what it feels to&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;use materials that aren't chopped in tiny peices.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;ah- the ease... I can get used to this. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;For the toilet, we used a Japanese paper/fiber mix&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;wall that you put on the wall like a plaster wall. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I chose the cherry blossom color and it was a lot of &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;fun to put on. A newly made friend named Ai also came&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;to help. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;For the bathroom, we used water-proof boards that &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;are generally used in concrete construction. On top&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;of these boards we used the red-cedar wood peices&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;we used on the roof. However, there wasn't enough&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;to do the whole thing, so we have to think about what&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;we do with the rest.... but we will think about that &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;later.. haha.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;We also put in some more lights. I really like our dining room&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;light, that has a nice cabin-feel to it with the design of &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;the leaves. It's kinda like a cheaper version of a tiffani lamp :)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7147601515146633402-6967927209598412253?l=nojiricabin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nojiricabin.blogspot.com/feeds/6967927209598412253/comments/default' title='コメントの投稿'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://nojiricabin.blogspot.com/2009/11/more-walls-and-lights.html#comment-form' title='1 件のコメント'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7147601515146633402/posts/default/6967927209598412253'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7147601515146633402/posts/default/6967927209598412253'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nojiricabin.blogspot.com/2009/11/more-walls-and-lights.html' title='壁２ と照明 More Walls and lights'/><author><name>Chowchow</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13712345987756130956</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xd36ipdHpCQ/Su75a7NnZ2I/AAAAAAAAELU/5RmacUfqXZ8/s72-c/CIMG4793.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7147601515146633402.post-9096325620563791770</id><published>2009-10-23T10:32:00.002+09:00</published><updated>2009-10-23T10:40:16.512+09:00</updated><title type='text'>内装壁 Inside walls</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;前から漆喰の壁に憧れてるから、内装の壁は漆喰&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;にすることにした。漆喰は自然な素材からできてるし、&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;湿気を吸ってくれるし、しかも結構値段も安い。なんとなく&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;高いものだと思っていたんだけど・・&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;漆喰や塗り壁類に必要なのは下地。漆喰とか&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;珪藻土には石膏ボードが下地になる。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;全部漆喰で白だと寂しいから、腰板を入れると言うことで、&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;腰板を同じ太さの太めの石膏ボードを買った。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;石膏ボードも意外と安い。でも驚くほど重たい。本当に石みたいな&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;ものなんだなーと思いながら、泣き泣き運ぶ感じ。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;その石膏ボードを壁に打ち込んでいくんだけど、一人支えて、&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;一人打ち込むから、支えてるほうは本当に泣きたくなるほど重い。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;早くして打ち込んでくれ～～～っと心で叫びながら、必死に耐える。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;家作りは楽しいけど、なんでこう重い物ばかりなのだろう・・・&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238);

There is a plaster type called shikkui in Japan &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;that has been used for a long time. It is made of all natural&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;materials (sea shells and such), absorbs moisture (which is a good &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;thing around here where its always humid) and is relatively cheap.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Making the whole wall out of plaster is kinda boring so we &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;decided to have wood up to about the waist and bought the thick&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;type of plaster board to match the width of the wood.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Plaster board is called sheet rock,and is literally, as heavy &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;as a board of rock. They look innocent enough, &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;but when you pick one up, (or try to pick it up)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;it feels your arms and back will give out. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Building a cabin is fun, but why does everything have to be so &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;darn heavy... Carrying the boards were one thing, but holding&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;them in place while Daisuke screwed them into the wall was&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;more than any kind of tolerance training I have ever experienced.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Who needs a gym when you can build a house?!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Once the sheet rock was up and we put in the wooden wall peices&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;the interior looks more and more finished. It looks nice (its &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;especially nice to have the ugly insulation covered up) so it &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;makes me think that its as good as done and not bother with it&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;anymore, I have always wanted to plaster so there are&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;several good days work left on these walls, I guess.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7147601515146633402-9096325620563791770?l=nojiricabin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nojiricabin.blogspot.com/feeds/9096325620563791770/comments/default' title='コメントの投稿'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://nojiricabin.blogspot.com/2009/10/inside-walls.html#comment-form' title='0 件のコメント'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7147601515146633402/posts/default/9096325620563791770'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7147601515146633402/posts/default/9096325620563791770'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nojiricabin.blogspot.com/2009/10/inside-walls.html' title='内装壁 Inside walls'/><author><name>Chowchow</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13712345987756130956</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xd36ipdHpCQ/SuEIqlZMKNI/AAAAAAAAEKM/9iSI_gyyd2k/s72-c/CIMG4780.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7147601515146633402.post-3433556730257944714</id><published>2009-10-19T21:53:00.004+09:00</published><updated>2009-10-19T22:21:26.396+09:00</updated><title type='text'>排水 Grey&amp;Black Water</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;これはなんでしょう？&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238);

Its that funny looking tank in the pic above.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;It's a 1000ltr tank, so should hold for a few months&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;at least. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;We dug a big whole to fit the big tank in, then filled&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;the tank with water so that it will settle in the ground.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;After a few days we connected the tank to a pipe &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;and covered it with soil. Pretty simple. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Every once in a while, we will call people to suck up&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;the poopies. fun fun.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Next, the grey water. Since there is no sewage here, &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;we basically have to drain the water out in the soil. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;So, it is very important to use only bio-degradable soaps.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Another deep and long hole was dug behind our cabin&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;and we layed gravel to help the draining.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Next we put in a holly pipe so the water drains little&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;by little instead of all in one place. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;We covered the pipe with an old sheet to prevent soil&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;and such from stuffing the holes, and covered it again &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;with gravel.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;That was pretty much all there was to it.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;In the future maybe Daisuke and I can learn how to&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;use those big shovel trucks and do this work ourselves,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;since that would save a nice chunk of money...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I plan to plant flowers above this newly dug up soil.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Maybe the grey water will help fertilize them :)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7147601515146633402-3433556730257944714?l=nojiricabin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nojiricabin.blogspot.com/feeds/3433556730257944714/comments/default' title='コメントの投稿'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://nojiricabin.blogspot.com/2009/10/grey-water.html#comment-form' title='0 件のコメント'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7147601515146633402/posts/default/3433556730257944714'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7147601515146633402/posts/default/3433556730257944714'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nojiricabin.blogspot.com/2009/10/grey-water.html' title='排水 Grey&amp;Black Water'/><author><name>Chowchow</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13712345987756130956</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xd36ipdHpCQ/StxjHx24CVI/AAAAAAAAEJc/Ww6BtAgPH9k/s72-c/CIMG4705.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7147601515146633402.post-3287102773581739340</id><published>2009-10-13T19:58:00.002+09:00</published><updated>2009-10-13T20:09:51.649+09:00</updated><title type='text'>床張り Floor</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;ちょっと気の早い私達はニトリの家具を見ている時にちょうどいいソファベッドがあったため、購入してしまった。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;一応配達日は買った日から１っヶ月後にしてもらったけど、気づいたらもう一ヶ月が過ぎようとしていた。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;ソファベッドが届く前にやらなければいけないことがある。それは床張り。ソファベッドが来てからだと、邪魔で仕方がない。そういうわけで、急いで床作りは開始。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;床材は結構前からTres Homesのあまりものを安く売ってもらって、家の隅っこで待機させてた。この床材はアメリカの大きいホームセンターで売っている、DIY向けの物で、パーケットと呼ばれている建材。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;まず、リビングの掃除をして、床のほこりをなるべくきれいにする。用意するのは木工用ボンドと床用釘。友達から借りた、床用釘を打ち込むエアーガンもあるとかなり便利。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;次にパーケットをまっすぐ引けるように、炭つぼで部屋の真ん中に線を書いておく。それからパケットをなるべくまっすぐにリビングの真ん中からボンドを付けてから、打ち込んでいく。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xd36ipdHpCQ/StRfD70cPSI/AAAAAAAAEI0/HnQtN3d74E4/s1600-h/CIMG4761.JPG" style="text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xd36ipdHpCQ/StRfD70cPSI/AAAAAAAAEI0/HnQtN3d74E4/s200/CIMG4761.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5392039175071218978" style="display: block;

-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;When we went window shopping for funiture one day, we ran into a sofa bed that was a great price with a nice design and bought it on the spot.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Although we scheduled the delivery date to be one month after we purchased it, that one month was about to pass, and we realized that we had better &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;get the living room floor done before it arrives, since it would be really hard to work around it later. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;We had bought left over materials from Tres Homes for a cheap price some months ahead of time. It was floor material that is sold in Home Depot, and&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;is pretty DIY friendly. The tricky thing with this material, is that you are supposed to make the first line very straight so all the other peices fit in &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;nicely later. However, the individual peices are not exactly straight, so after a while, the lines start to get out of wack. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;It was fine at first, but after a while we were trying to make the sides fit in, and if we put in one side, the other side came out, etc etc. Eventually,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;we had to give up and just let some of the sections of the floor have a slight space between the peices. Hey, maybe when there is a lot of moisture &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;in the air, it will expand and fit perfectly... (wishful thinking).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;We ran into a little trouble when we realized that there actually wasn't enough material to cover the whole living room floor. When we bought the &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;material, we miscalculated the amount (it was supposed to be more than enough), and we can't purchase anymore since it was imported from the US&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;probably a while ago. So, we layed the peices out and let the outer rims of the living room bare for now. We will have to think of something to cover it up&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;but that's just the price you pay when you use left over materials I guess.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;With the help of glue and a floor nail gun we borrowed from our friend, and the helping hands of Daisuke's parents, we were able to get the floor done&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;in time before the sofa bed arrived. With the floor done, the inside of the cabin is beginning to look more and more like a living space instead of a &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;construction site. Now we have to be more careful that our feet are clean before we walk into the house!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7147601515146633402-3287102773581739340?l=nojiricabin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nojiricabin.blogspot.com/feeds/3287102773581739340/comments/default' title='コメントの投稿'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://nojiricabin.blogspot.com/2009/10/floor.html#comment-form' title='2 件のコメント'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7147601515146633402/posts/default/3287102773581739340'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7147601515146633402/posts/default/3287102773581739340'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nojiricabin.blogspot.com/2009/10/floor.html' title='床張り Floor'/><author><name>Chowchow</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13712345987756130956</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xd36ipdHpCQ/StRfD70cPSI/AAAAAAAAEI0/HnQtN3d74E4/s72-c/CIMG4761.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7147601515146633402.post-1176275361922495184</id><published>2009-10-08T19:14:00.005+09:00</published><updated>2009-10-08T22:14:10.594+09:00</updated><title type='text'>天井  Ceiling</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#C0C0C0;"&gt;野路板も乾いてニスを塗ったところ、長さを切って、やっと天井張りがスタート。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#C0C0C0;"&gt;一ヶ所やるのに二人がかりでやる。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#C0C0C0;"&gt;野路板は時間が経つと乾いて縮んでしまう。そのため、ある程度縮んでもいいように、&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#C0C0C0;"&gt;２．５ｃｍ重ねて天井を張った。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#C0C0C0;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xd36ipdHpCQ/Ss29kNbRYEI/AAAAAAAAEIc/RigSAKGuHdY/s1600-h/CIMG4758.JPG"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#C0C0C0;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline;

One of these covers a lot more area than the cedar-fake, so the process was a lot faster and easier.

We had left over wood from the wood we used in the loft, and also some other random floor wood we got from local carpenters. We were able to connect about 3 peices to make the length of the floor and ceiling, and after that, all it took was some glue and the staple gun to keep it in place in the floor. Since the bathroom is nice and small, we were able to get this done quite quickly.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;We also finally opened a hole in the whiskey barrel to let the water out of it when we take a bath. The wood of the barrel is super thick and hard so we had a hard time opening the whole. It may not have been so hard if we had a decent hole saw, but we got a crappy one (the kind that you can change the sizes and is as flimsy as paper) since we didn't know better. This piece of s--- would break and had no power what so ever so it took a while to open the whole, but finally it was done and the wood smelled again of fresh whisky. Ohhh I just can't wait to take a bath in it!!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7147601515146633402-4236538778837374134?l=nojiricabin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nojiricabin.blogspot.com/feeds/4236538778837374134/comments/default' title='コメントの投稿'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://nojiricabin.blogspot.com/2009/09/bathroom-prep.html#comment-form' title='0 件のコメント'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7147601515146633402/posts/default/4236538778837374134'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7147601515146633402/posts/default/4236538778837374134'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nojiricabin.blogspot.com/2009/09/bathroom-prep.html' title='トイレ お風呂の準備 Bathroom Prep'/><author><name>Chowchow</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13712345987756130956</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xd36ipdHpCQ/SroI8OSqNRI/AAAAAAAAEEw/d7JJ_7XWvFY/s72-c/CIMG4671.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7147601515146633402.post-3913199425208899532</id><published>2009-09-18T22:05:00.005+09:00</published><updated>2009-09-18T22:17:42.182+09:00</updated><title type='text'>ドア枠 (建具) 作り Door Frame</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;最近はめっきり秋らしくなり、夜は羽毛布団を被らないと寝られない程寒くなってきました。大分前になるんだけど、家の外側の完成度を上げるためにドア枠を作りました。枠だけ作ったは良いけど、ドアはまだ取り付けてません。だって邪魔になるんだもん。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;普通ドアっていうものは、ドア枠とセットになって買ってくるものだけど、うちの場合トレスさんの倉庫に眠ってた中古のドアを使うので、ドアに合った枠を自分達でつくらなくっちゃいけない。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;これが意外と面倒な作業。うちはちっさい家の癖に入り口が二箇所ある。片方の入り口 (勝手口?) の方はすんなり作れたんだけど、メインの方はそうは行かない。なぜかというと、メインのドアの横幅が、ドアが入るべく作ってある開口部 (柱と柱の間) よりも広いから。勝手口の方のように、通常であれば、ドアのサイズに合った枠を作って開口部に嵌めればいいんだけど、メインの方は開口部の内側アンド外側に、半分枠が浮き出た形で上手い具合に枠を嵌め込まなきゃならない。これを作るのには大分苦心しました。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;ドアのチョウバン(ドアが開く時に支点となる方)が付く方は、開口部の内側に入れちゃうからそんなに大変でもない。まずヒノキのプレーナー材をドアの高さと枠の上下の部分を組み込む幅を足した長さに切ります。次に閉めた時にドアが当たる、戸当りを作るため、丸ノコを使って木材からドアの厚みの分 x ドアが当たる分を削り取ります。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238);

It was a while back, but Daisuke made the door frames for the house (although we aren't going to attach the doors yet, since it will just get in the way). &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Supposedly, most doors come with the door frame as a set, but since we scavenged our doors at the Tres Homes warehouse and got them for free, there was no such convenience (as usual). Although our house is quite small, for some reason we had decided on having two doors. (I don't remember why now... why oh why... maybe it was to have easier access to the bathroom in case of emergencies..) Any, one of the doors was a normal size so we were able to make a frame that fit right between the beams no problem. The other door (to become our main entrance) is a beautiful green door that gave Daisuke many a headaches. The reason being is that it is too big to fit between the beams of the wall, so he had to make a frame that would stick out from the wall, and yet support the big (and heavy) door. Oh, the number of hours and days he spent staring at the door and wall and pondering how he will put the darned thing up. But, finally he got it done somehow, (I am not quite sure what he did, because I chose to stay out of this battle) and the frame is up and ready for the door!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7147601515146633402-3913199425208899532?l=nojiricabin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nojiricabin.blogspot.com/feeds/3913199425208899532/comments/default' title='コメントの投稿'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://nojiricabin.blogspot.com/2009/09/door-frame.html#comment-form' title='0 件のコメント'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7147601515146633402/posts/default/3913199425208899532'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7147601515146633402/posts/default/3913199425208899532'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nojiricabin.blogspot.com/2009/09/door-frame.html' title='ドア枠 (建具) 作り Door Frame'/><author><name>Chowchow</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13712345987756130956</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xd36ipdHpCQ/SrOGZqZ-q7I/AAAAAAAAEDw/AuE7Rfhg7Ck/s72-c/CIMG4518.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7147601515146633402.post-6928153019342667547</id><published>2009-09-09T09:06:00.004+09:00</published><updated>2009-09-09T09:13:48.640+09:00</updated><title type='text'>雑用　Random Busy-ness</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;最近はめっちゃ頑張ってます。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;本当です。やる事がいっぱいで、たまに頭がこんがらがっています。マジで。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;今、沢山の作業をやっているのだけれど、なかなか完成している作業がないので、ブログに書きづらい部分があります。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;たとえば、外壁は永遠にやってるけど、まだ終ってません。合板を切って、ステインして、乾かして、二度塗りして、また乾かして、そして壁に打ち込む。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;この作業を何日もちょくちょく、着実に進めていて、今は4つ目の壁が終りそうです。写真は以下。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;ちゃんと完成してから全体の写真をアップしたいものです。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238);

There is so much work to do, we hardly know where we should start and when it will ever end.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Alot of the work we have been doing lately is very tedious. I love our outer wall, but my god, it is taking so much time to do. We are still working on the forth and final wall. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The picture of the fourth wall is the above, and we are almost done with it, and I want to put up the final pictures of the finished walls soon... when it happens. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Having to cut the plywood boards, stain it, dry it, stain it again, then nail them into the walls... its all fun but really... never ending... But the great thing about doing this house project is that everyday we can see that we make progress, and compared to the work we used to do in offices, we can see the work becoming closer to the end product with every board we stain and every nail hammer. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Another big and tedious task we have been keeping busy with is drying the wood that we will use for the ceiling. This wood is pretty much the cheapest you can find in Japan, and part of the reason is because they basically chop the tree down, slice it up, and put it in the stores without drying them. So, they come pretty wet, and not exactly pretty. Plus, the wood we got was really rough, a little too rough, that we decided to borrow a electric sander from the carpenter who is lending us so much of his wonderful tools (and we thank him with a big bottle of sake each time :) ). So, the process of sanding down the wood, all 240peices of them, then laying them out to dry, and carrying them in and out of the house day after day (when sunny) has been keeping us quite busy and giving us a pretty good work out. Like many things, the price of the wood was cheap, but we payed for the difference with our labor.  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The picture above shows how we covered the path leading to my parents cabin with all the sawdust that came out of the sanding, which I think looks kinda nice.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;After the wood was dry, we stood them up inside and stained them. We chose a clear stain for the inside, since we wanted to keep the color of the wood. Daisuke and I stained at night after the sun went down, and we stained all 240 pieces. One by one by one by one...... We would usually start the night of staining with music from the iPod and us singing along, but after a while we would both fall silent and just stain stain stain as if we were in a trance. But like the other work, if we keep at it, eventually it ends, and now we are ready to put up those darned peices of wood into the ceiling!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7147601515146633402-6928153019342667547?l=nojiricabin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nojiricabin.blogspot.com/feeds/6928153019342667547/comments/default' title='コメントの投稿'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://nojiricabin.blogspot.com/2009/09/random-busy-ness.html#comment-form' title='0 件のコメント'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7147601515146633402/posts/default/6928153019342667547'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7147601515146633402/posts/default/6928153019342667547'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nojiricabin.blogspot.com/2009/09/random-busy-ness.html' title='雑用　Random Busy-ness'/><author><name>Chowchow</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13712345987756130956</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xd36ipdHpCQ/Sqbyr6Ad_bI/AAAAAAAAD_s/rymjnTKJD_Y/s72-c/CIMG4702.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7147601515146633402.post-2299612113443485380</id><published>2009-08-31T11:28:00.003+09:00</published><updated>2009-08-31T11:35:40.493+09:00</updated><title type='text'>お風呂天井　Bath　Ceiling</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;やっと夏のシーズンが終わり、長い夏休みも過ぎ、作業開始しました。やる事が山ほどあって、どこから手を付けるか迷いながら、ちょくちょく進んでます。4つ目の外壁も少しずつ完成に近づいているし、断熱材もちょくちょく入れている。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;今日はお風呂の天井の作業を紹介します。お風呂は木のお風呂にこだわった分、やっぱり壁も木がいいと思っていたら、なんとめっちゃクオリティーの高いRed Cedar（米杉、ヒノキ科）の廃材が屋根工事をしてくれたNさんが沢山くれた。これがまたすごーく香りがいいのです。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;この廃材も一つ一つ長さが違って、結構短いんだけど、なんとかうまくロフトの床の根太に貼ることができた。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;まずお風呂は湿気が多いから、ロフトの根太に防湿シートを貼って、その上に床下カラッと言う乾燥剤を撒いた。これは体と環境に害のないもので、半永久的にもつらしい。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;

The season was fun with all the people (usually there is hardly anyone around). Lots of tennis and golf and swimming in the lake, but toward the end, Daisuke and I were pretty tired of play, and ready to get back to building.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;One thing we finished recently is putting up the bathroom ceiling. We used Red Cedar pieces that Mr. N gave us that were left over and sitting in his warehouse. It has a great scent and is the strongest kind of wood you can find against moisture. Japanese wooden baths often use this type of wood, so the scent is very much like a Japanese traditional bath place, which is absolutely awesome.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;We put up moisture prevention sheets and a natural moisture observer under the loft floor, and used the air-stapler we borrowed to nail in the little and random pieces of cedar wood. We put a little glue between the pieces to help it stay in place, but we mostly very carefully chose the pieces so that we hardly didn't cut any of the them to make it fit perfectly in the ceiling. The process was very quick (thanks to the air gun) and we couldn't be happier with the way it looks (and smells!)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7147601515146633402-2299612113443485380?l=nojiricabin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nojiricabin.blogspot.com/feeds/2299612113443485380/comments/default' title='コメントの投稿'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://nojiricabin.blogspot.com/2009/08/bathceiling.html#comment-form' title='2 件のコメント'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7147601515146633402/posts/default/2299612113443485380'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7147601515146633402/posts/default/2299612113443485380'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nojiricabin.blogspot.com/2009/08/bathceiling.html' title='お風呂天井　Bath　Ceiling'/><author><name>Chowchow</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13712345987756130956</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xd36ipdHpCQ/Sps2u-uMgnI/AAAAAAAAD_E/dNjtpsr4Opc/s72-c/CIMG4588.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7147601515146633402.post-6533497014775515470</id><published>2009-08-17T17:11:00.005+09:00</published><updated>2009-08-17T17:27:26.022+09:00</updated><title type='text'>ロフトと天井　Loft and Ceiling</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;夏休みに入ってからは、周りに迷惑になるので、工事はできないというルールがあって、最近は遊んでばかりいる。でも一応ちょくちょく進めているので、久しぶりにアップします。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;大工さんに来てもらった時にロフトの作り方を教えてもらって、ロフト作りに取り組んだ。ロフトの根太に使ったのは２ｘ１０（スプルースという木を、縦横が２インチx１０インチに切ったもの。長さは関係ない２ｘ１０を柱と柱の間の長さに切り、その間にもネジを打ち込めるように４５ｃｍ単位で２ｘ１０を入れていく。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238);

My garden and our cabin construction site is drowning from it and we are stuck in the house and although we appreciated the break for a while, are getting quite bored of it.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Now that my dream bath has arrived, I am anxious to get it indoors into the bathroom. So, we started working on the bathroom floor. We used left over wood to make the floor as seen in the pictures above. Nothing too complicated, just like the living room floor. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;We were instructed to put in the boards and then to cover the floor and half the wall with the water-proof tybec sheets we used for the outer walls. All seemed easy enough and after leaving a whole in the floor for the drain and a pipe that we can cut later, the floor was done quite quickly.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;We planned to put some cement in on top of that, and call it a finished floor. But our recent friend advised that we could put in FRP to make the floor more water proof, since cement alone tends to leak. He had some old sheets of glass wool sheets for the FRP which were pretty worn out, but we had no idea what we were getting into, and were grateful for his advice and bought the materials and got to work.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The first shock came at the color of the FRP. Daisuke was tired or something, and bought a bright neon blue color FRP. FRP is often used to fix up surf boards, but I wouldn't have chosen this color even for a surf board. But, it was too far and too much trouble to exchange it at the store we bought it and we figured we can cover it with the cement that we had bought anyway, and got to work.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The second shock was the horrendous smell. I am sure this stuff is pretty toxic, cause after a few minutes of laying it down, I was feeling all dizzy. Plus the old sheets that were given to us kept sticking to the roller and things weren't going well at all.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;But, there was no stopping since the instructions said this stuff hardens very quickly, and we were anxious to get finished with the awfully stickly and smelly job. Hard as I tried, I could not get the FRP to become completely flat, and so in the end, we had a bumpy finish in the middle. That, and a very dizzy, sticky, pissy, and probably high wife (that would be me) made us both want to be finished and out of the house.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I have never been high in my life, but this was probably as close as I have ever gotten to it. As much as my head hurt from the foul smell, I was obsessively fighting the little bumps that kept coming up no matter how much I fought it and no matter how much Daisuke told me to leave it. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Of course, the bumps mean trouble, and our friend who suggested it said that maybe it was better if we hadn't done it at all... which was disappointing after going through all of the horror mentioned above. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;All we can do is make the cement cover as best we can and put a solid slope to it so the floor won't be full of puddles. That and hope for the best I guess. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I don't know why we decided to use such a thing that is probably bad for our health and the enviornment, but in our haste to finish the floor and to make it as best we could, we took the advise that is probably very good advise for people who know what they are doing. I don't know if I would try this again, but next time I do think I could do a better job... that and I would prepare a gas mask to do it. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7147601515146633402-1283400958536136195?l=nojiricabin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nojiricabin.blogspot.com/feeds/1283400958536136195/comments/default' title='コメントの投稿'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://nojiricabin.blogspot.com/2009/07/frpfrpmusashi-frpmusashi-frpfrpfrpfrp.html#comment-form' title='0 件のコメント'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7147601515146633402/posts/default/1283400958536136195'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7147601515146633402/posts/default/1283400958536136195'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nojiricabin.blogspot.com/2009/07/frpfrpmusashi-frpmusashi-frpfrpfrpfrp.html' title=''/><author><name>Chowchow</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13712345987756130956</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xd36ipdHpCQ/Sl2DDPU8KzI/AAAAAAAAD6k/6wbulVHXKBQ/s72-c/CIMG4486.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7147601515146633402.post-5463281902298965039</id><published>2009-07-08T09:50:00.002+09:00</published><updated>2009-07-08T09:59:28.154+09:00</updated><title type='text'>窓　Windows</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xd36ipdHpCQ/SlPuLtTGsdI/AAAAAAAAD6c/9kSfFjPB5HU/s1600-h/CIMG4473.JPG"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;冬もキャビンを使えるように、窓は断熱性の高い二重になっているものをTres Homesを通してアメリカから輸入した。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;キャビン作りの計画中に窓は輸入に時間がかかるから、去年の秋から決めて、一番最初の買い物だった。それが先日窓枠も完成して、ちょうどいいタイミングで届かれた。そしてこの窓が重いのなんの！どうしようと思っていたけど、大介父も手伝ってくれて、窓の片方を外すと随分軽くなって、3人で持ち上げることができた。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238);

We ordered them last fall, and after we finished the window frames, the windows were delivered to us. To enjoy the outside green, we have a lot of windows in our small cabin ;) &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Putting in the windows is not so hard, but the windows are reallllly heavy. We managed to put them in by taking one of the glass sides out, and also getting the man-power help from Daisuke's father. After we heave them into place, all we had to do was drill them in with the impact driver, and put water proof tape around the sides to keep the rain out. We were able to put most the windows in, but the ones for the upper section of the house need some more work with the framing, and we are going to wait for some professional advise on that. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Now that the windows are in, the cabin is looking more and more like a livable house. Although the windows seems larger and more open before the windows went in, we are very happy with our windows and the fact that they will keep the bugs out and the warmth in once the cabin is done.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7147601515146633402-5463281902298965039?l=nojiricabin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nojiricabin.blogspot.com/feeds/5463281902298965039/comments/default' title='コメントの投稿'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://nojiricabin.blogspot.com/2009/07/windows.html#comment-form' title='0 件のコメント'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7147601515146633402/posts/default/5463281902298965039'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7147601515146633402/posts/default/5463281902298965039'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nojiricabin.blogspot.com/2009/07/windows.html' title='窓　Windows'/><author><name>Chowchow</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13712345987756130956</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xd36ipdHpCQ/SlPuLMFKm-I/AAAAAAAAD6M/XlMZuzA7YPw/s72-c/CIMG4474.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7147601515146633402.post-4497036383076623951</id><published>2009-07-02T09:46:00.002+09:00</published><updated>2009-07-02T09:52:32.894+09:00</updated><title type='text'>樽風呂 Barrel Bath</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;お風呂は最初からこだわりたかったからいろいろ探した。五右衛門風呂とか、木のお風呂とか、ドラム缶まで考えたけど、やっぱり木のお風呂がいいと思っていた。ヒノキのお風呂はとても素敵だけど、とても高い。なら樽のお風呂なら安く手に入るかなーと思っていたけど、ネットで探してもあまりないし、しかもあるものは20万以上する。どうしよう、どうしようと考えている時に、家族で山梨に旅行に行った。辺りにはワイナリーが沢山あり、お店にはワインの樽をテーブルなどに使っていた。もしやと思い、その樽家具はどこで手に入れているのかを聞いたら、近くに樽職人がいると言う。さっそく尋ねてみたら、ガラス工房の裏に樽に囲まれたおじさんが一人、小松さんがいた。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238);

Not just any bath, but something special and unique. I thought of traditional Japanese wooden baths, or even drum cans, but as a researched around, I really liked the idea of using a wine barrel. However, I found that wine barrels are hard to find in Japan, and are very expensive, so I was half given up and was pondering other ideas. Late last year, we went to Yamanashi (near Mt. Fuji) and visited a few wineries in the area. I noticed the wineries had a lot of furniture made out of old barrels and asked where they get them. They told me there is an old man who fixes up barrels in the area, and we quickly went to go visit him. Behind a glass factory, was a small section with piles of old barrel pieces and barrels and an old man working alone. We asked him about the possibility of making a barrel into a bath and he said it should work fine and he has made them before. I was so excited I almost jumped out of my skin. I was also worried about the price, especially since this barrel bath would be hand made, but the price was much much much cheaper than any other wood bath I looked into. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Since it was fall, and the cabin building hadn't started yet, we told him that we will contact him again in the spring, and left the site. A few months ago we called him, and he remembered us, and he told us that not only did he have wine barrels, but he also had a few whiskey barrels that would be bigger and make a nicer bath. The price (surprisingly) was the same, so without hesitation we asked for the whiskey barrel, and stopped by his workshop on the way back to Tokyo one weekend. We talked to him for a while, decided on shipping methods, paid for the barrel, and two weeks later it arrived in Nagano. I can't be more happy with how incredibly amazing this barrel looks and what a great bath it will make. It still smells like whiskey, I could get drunk just by taking a bath. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7147601515146633402-4497036383076623951?l=nojiricabin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nojiricabin.blogspot.com/feeds/4497036383076623951/comments/default' title='コメントの投稿'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://nojiricabin.blogspot.com/2009/07/barrel-bath.html#comment-form' title='4 件のコメント'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7147601515146633402/posts/default/4497036383076623951'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7147601515146633402/posts/default/4497036383076623951'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nojiricabin.blogspot.com/2009/07/barrel-bath.html' title='樽風呂 Barrel Bath'/><author><name>Chowchow</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13712345987756130956</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xd36ipdHpCQ/SkwET1pKj4I/AAAAAAAAD50/7FY3ziOPzGs/s72-c/Cabin+226.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7147601515146633402.post-4944434435841430301</id><published>2009-06-23T19:38:00.004+09:00</published><updated>2009-06-23T19:57:16.029+09:00</updated><title type='text'>外壁工事　Outer wall construction</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xd36ipdHpCQ/SkC0Mdb0tSI/AAAAAAAADPI/Kw1eMNG0zgg/s1600-h/Cabin+268.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xd36ipdHpCQ/SkCzAXVVv6I/AAAAAAAADPA/t0KuwmIHjqc/s1600-h/Cabin+277.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;何日も切っては塗っての繰り返し後、いざ壁打ち開始！&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;まずは、壁の一番端っこがまっすぐになり、合板の横から雨が入らないように、長細い板を打ち込んで、ステインを塗った。（実はこの板が細すぎと言うことがあとで判明するんだけど、またあとでもっと太い板を加工して貼ることにする）。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;そして、一番下の段は上から合板を貼った時に防水シートが見えないように、ベタッと横に長く色付きの合板を土台に打ち込む。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238);

First, we put in thin and long boards on the edge of the walls so that we can put up the cedar shake type boards in nice and straight and rain won't hit the sides of the boards once they are up. (we later discover that these boards had to be thicker, but we will just all on another thick board later).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Next, we nailed in the bottom board. We put in this board so that when the first layer of cedar shake boards go up, you won't be able to see the paper sheets in between the boards. On top of this bottom board, we nailed in the cedar shake boards, leaving about 1cm between the boards. This will be the first layer of the wall.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;On top of the first layer, we hammered in another long and thin board so we have a piece of wood to hammer the cedar shake boards into the wall. We put these long boards in every 16cm (we first thought of doing it every 22cm, which is about half the length of the cedar shake, but since we cut it up pretty randomly, some were too short for 22cm, so we went with 16cm). Then we continue with hammering in the cedar shake boards. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Since each board is different in length and color and even in texture, it was a lot of fun putting up the boards randomly and according to our taste. We thought the more random the better so we put in some long ones, and short ones, thick and skinny, dark and light. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Once all the cedar shake boards were up, the end wall looked really cool, and much more interesting than we had imagined. A friend who stopped by said it looks like an art piece and we were really pleased and proud of ourselves. Daisuke and I just stood back and admired the wall over and over, and couldn't stop complimenting ourselves for our 'artistic' work :)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;*Many thanks to Mr. Nakamura for lending us his air-gun and air-compressor.

We thought about different methods on what to use and how to make the outer walls, and finally decided on making the walls with these wooden boards with cedar shake style. Since we aren't actually using cedar, we decided to call our method, cedar-fake. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;We cut up the boards into about 45cm lengths and made various length widths.　As &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;Daisuke&lt;/span&gt; cut up the boards, I painted the boards with oak colored stain. Since we aren't using real cedar, which doesn't need stain because it already has a nice color and is pretty water resistant, we decided to paint the boards. Not painting them may be more ecological, but the boards &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;aren't&lt;/span&gt; exactly pretty, and they aren't water resistant so the boards could be &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;susceptible&lt;/span&gt; to water damage. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;A few days were spent with simply cutting and painting the boards and in the end we had a nice pile. The last picture is how we plan to put together the boards on the wall. The boards we cut up won't be enough to finish all the walls, but we look forward to seeing what it will look like when we put it up.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7147601515146633402-7575753108380938394?l=nojiricabin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nojiricabin.blogspot.com/feeds/7575753108380938394/comments/default' title='コメントの投稿'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://nojiricabin.blogspot.com/2009/06/outer-wall-prep.html#comment-form' title='0 件のコメント'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7147601515146633402/posts/default/7575753108380938394'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7147601515146633402/posts/default/7575753108380938394'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nojiricabin.blogspot.com/2009/06/outer-wall-prep.html' title='外壁準備　Outer Wall Prep'/><author><name>Chowchow</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13712345987756130956</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xd36ipdHpCQ/SjiZaE9YkqI/AAAAAAAADN0/VMFZMB_CE0U/s72-c/Cabin+252.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7147601515146633402.post-1893810809140886923</id><published>2009-06-16T15:20:00.005+09:00</published><updated>2009-06-17T16:17:10.202+09:00</updated><title type='text'>床の合板　Floor boards</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;廃材も入って、床作りの第2ステップは根太の上に合板を張っていくこと。下の写真のように、すっぽっと板と板が繋がるようになっているんだけど、これが以外と大きい合板を上手く入れるのが難しい。左の方が入ったと思ったら、右が出てきちゃったり、どこかが引っ掛かって、ちっとも入らなかったり。最初は結構手こずったけど、途中から最初に斜めに入れると結構上手くいく事に気づいて、ちょっとは順調に入るようになった。あとは、気合で叩いて入れるだけ。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline;

The top pictures shows how the boards are made to connect perfectly. It was actually kinda difficult to put these together. When hammering in the left side, the right side comes out, or with just one small section not fitting, the whole darn thing doesn't hammer in. After a few boards, we figured out that putting the board in on a slight angle helps put the board in without getting stuck. Still, some of the boards were slightly bent, and in that case, we just had to use force and hammer the board in as best we could. &lt;div&gt;In the end, we were able to put in the boards quite nicely, and ChowChow, our dog and the director on-site, can now walk around freely in the house. Plus, we can now bring in our sleeping bags and take naps during break time :) &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Daisuke also made the frame for a secret door we are going to make to open up into the floor. I thought it would be useful to have access to the open space under the house for storage, since there wont be much storage space in the cabin itself. Daisuke is becoming a better carpenter day by day and it's fun coming up with ideas as we work on the cabin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xd36ipdHpCQ/Sjc75ImzJTI/AAAAAAAADM0/WdL3kcP-blM/s1600-h/Cabin+242.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7147601515146633402-1893810809140886923?l=nojiricabin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nojiricabin.blogspot.com/feeds/1893810809140886923/comments/default' title='コメントの投稿'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://nojiricabin.blogspot.com/2009/06/floor-boards.html#comment-form' title='0 件のコメント'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7147601515146633402/posts/default/1893810809140886923'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7147601515146633402/posts/default/1893810809140886923'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nojiricabin.blogspot.com/2009/06/floor-boards.html' title='床の合板　Floor boards'/><author><name>Chowchow</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13712345987756130956</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xd36ipdHpCQ/Sjc740l2r1I/AAAAAAAADMs/gQslAACxDCE/s72-c/Cabin+239.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7147601515146633402.post-6648156744395974653</id><published>2009-06-15T12:22:00.007+09:00</published><updated>2009-06-15T18:33:13.904+09:00</updated><title type='text'>床と断熱材　Floor Insulation</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;シートも貼って、よっぽどの事がない限り、とりあえず雨と風は凌げるようになったので、中の床の作業に取り掛かった。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;断熱材はこの前運んできた大量の断熱材の破片（？）と言うか現場で残った細かいピースを使おうという作戦だけど、通常床の断熱材はちゃんと板に一本ずつ打ち込めるような大きさである。私達が使うのはとてもじゃないけど、そんな事はできない。そこで、いつもアイデア豊富なトレスホームズの鹿島さんの提案通り、床の根太と柱の下に防水シートをタッカーで打ち込んで、細かい断熱材の乗せるベッドのような感じに作った。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238);

Since we got a whole lot of insulation peices from the warehouse, our plan is to peice together all the random peices and make it into the floor. In order to do this, we had to put in the paper sheets we used for the walls under the wooden logs of the floor. This way, we made a bed-like place for all the little peices to rest on. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;This was a long and detailed process, but a lot of fun to put together. It really was like doing a gigantic puzzle, and we were able to use peices of insulation of quality that we could otherwise not afford, for free! We were happy that we used up almost all of the insulation 'garbage' and more than anything, we are proud of our floor insulation that we consider a masterpeice, and its too bad that we are going to cover it up with the floor boards later. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7147601515146633402-6648156744395974653?l=nojiricabin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nojiricabin.blogspot.com/feeds/6648156744395974653/comments/default' title='コメントの投稿'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://nojiricabin.blogspot.com/2009/06/floor-insulation.html#comment-form' title='2 件のコメント'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7147601515146633402/posts/default/6648156744395974653'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7147601515146633402/posts/default/6648156744395974653'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nojiricabin.blogspot.com/2009/06/floor-insulation.html' title='床と断熱材　Floor Insulation'/><author><name>Chowchow</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13712345987756130956</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xd36ipdHpCQ/SjXEfrthEDI/AAAAAAAADLc/Z4Md2RBjLsc/s72-c/Cabin+180.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7147601515146633402.post-8325566109277195848</id><published>2009-06-12T19:27:00.003+09:00</published><updated>2009-06-12T19:33:05.011+09:00</updated><title type='text'>防水シート　Paper Tent</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xd36ipdHpCQ/SjIuYq7i67I/AAAAAAAADLU/No8RVCkndcQ/s1600-h/Cabin+177.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p lang="ja-JP" style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;久しぶりのアップです。作業は順調に進んでいるのですが、最近翻訳の仕事に追われて（そうなんです、一応少々仕事をしているんです）ブログのアップをする気がなかなか起きませんでした。すみません。&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p lang="ja-JP" style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;さて、廃材集めで走り回っている時に、長野にあるシンニッセキと言う木材屋さんで防水シートを割安でゲットしました。その防水シートを貼る作業を&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman, serif;"&gt;2&lt;/span&gt;日ほど完成させました。特に説明はないのですが、使う道具はタッカーとカッター。とにかくタッカーはいっぱい打ち込むようにする。シートがピシっと貼るのはちょっと大変で、数人で作業するのがベスト。&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p lang="ja-JP" style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xd36ipdHpCQ/SjIuYAkW9tI/AAAAAAAADLE/AWSTwgkO97g/s1600-h/Cabin+166.jpg" style="text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xd36ipdHpCQ/SjIuYAkW9tI/AAAAAAAADLE/AWSTwgkO97g/s200/Cabin+166.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5346386697646438098" style="text-decoration: underline;display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px; " /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p lang="ja-JP" style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); "&gt;&lt;img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xd36ipdHpCQ/SjIuYQjb4iI/AAAAAAAADLM/sxwdTz8v_eI/s200/Cabin+167.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5346386701937533474" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px; " /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang="ja-JP" style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;南の島での生活なら、防水シートを貼るだけでもきっと生きていけると思う。防水、防風、防湿なので、貼り終わってからは家の中がとても快適になり、床ができたら昼寝を家の中でできるような感じになりました。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p lang="ja-JP" style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); "&gt;&lt;img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xd36ipdHpCQ/SjIuYq7i67I/AAAAAAAADLU/No8RVCkndcQ/s200/Cabin+177.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5346386709017979826" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px; " /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang="ja-JP" style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style=" ;font-family:'Times New Roman';"&gt;Please excuse the long break in posts.

We spent about 2 days wrapping the cabin with this paper. There is not much explaining to do with this process; just needs a tacker and cutter and lots of staples. It's a bit difficult to put on the sheets without making them all wobbly, so its best to do this process with at least 2 people.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang="ja-JP" style="margin-bottom: 0cm"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman, serif;"&gt;If we were living on a tropical island or desert, our cabin will practically be livable with just these sheets. Its almost like a huge tent, and once the cabin was wrapped in paper, it was very comfortable inside. We look forward to having the floor in so we can take our naps inside our cabin :). &lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7147601515146633402-8325566109277195848?l=nojiricabin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nojiricabin.blogspot.com/feeds/8325566109277195848/comments/default' title='コメントの投稿'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://nojiricabin.blogspot.com/2009/06/paper-tent.html#comment-form' title='2 件のコメント'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7147601515146633402/posts/default/8325566109277195848'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7147601515146633402/posts/default/8325566109277195848'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nojiricabin.blogspot.com/2009/06/paper-tent.html' title='防水シート　Paper Tent'/><author><name>Chowchow</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13712345987756130956</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xd36ipdHpCQ/SjIuYAkW9tI/AAAAAAAADLE/AWSTwgkO97g/s72-c/Cabin+166.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7147601515146633402.post-616828463433409666</id><published>2009-06-03T19:25:00.003+09:00</published><updated>2009-06-03T19:33:30.015+09:00</updated><title type='text'>廃材集め　Usable Garbage</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xd36ipdHpCQ/SiZQ7DADbVI/AAAAAAAADKM/bktLS3aLCbs/s1600-h/IMG_2564.JPG"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div&gt;窓枠が終ってからの数日,Nさんが屋根をやってくれている間、廃材集めであちこちまわった。まずはお世話になっているトレスホームズの倉庫。ここは廃材の宝の山。ここからは外用のドア２つ、中用のドアも２つ、断熱材いっぱい、グラスウールの断熱材も。あとは古いブルーシート、合板、バケツ、などなど。あと、工事中の現場にも行って、さらに断熱材と合板をゲット。最後に屋根をやってくれた中村さんの倉庫からも断熱材、家具にできそうな木材いろいろ、それ以外にももう使ってないカナヅチとか、ネジとか、ペンキとか、書き切れないほどの宝物をいただいた。本当にみんな沢山のお宝をありがとうございました！！&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); "&gt;&lt;img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xd36ipdHpCQ/SiZQ6jktLUI/AAAAAAAADJ0/ZZTTl92RPzg/s200/Cabin+160.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5343046974833503554" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px; " /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); "&gt;&lt;img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xd36ipdHpCQ/SiZQ7CxMngI/AAAAAAAADKE/6Az7YRmQ9Tc/s200/Cabin+168.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5343046983207394818" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px; " /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xd36ipdHpCQ/SiZQ7DADbVI/AAAAAAAADKM/bktLS3aLCbs/s1600-h/IMG_2564.JPG"&gt;&lt;img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xd36ipdHpCQ/SiZQ7DADbVI/AAAAAAAADKM/bktLS3aLCbs/s200/IMG_2564.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5343046983269707090" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px; " /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;廃材集めに欠かせないのが、軽トラ。これもトレスホームズのKさんに紹介してもらった、信濃町の山内自動車で８万円でゲット。車検もあと１年残っていて、Hondaのアクティーで、ものすごくお買い得。憧れの軽トラが手に入ってウキウキです。でもマニュアルをほとんど運転したことがないから、最初がガッタンガッタンで車酔いしまくった。廃材集めも手伝ってくれた友達のタイソンが運転の仕方も教えてくれたので、今となってはずいぶんスムーズに運転できるようになった。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); "&gt;&lt;img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xd36ipdHpCQ/SiZQ6x2F3gI/AAAAAAAADJ8/Mz1mji8r-eU/s200/Cabin+158.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5343046978664521218" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px; " /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;ありがとうタイソン!　この時に他にも手伝ってくれたブラッド、ハナちゃん、麻衣子さん、本当にありがとう。またきてね！&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;After finishing the window frames, we spent a few days running around collecting usable materials that would otherwise be thrown away. First we went to the warehouse of Tres Homes, our contractor. This place is simple overflowing with hidden treasures. We got 2 outdoor doors and 2 indoor doors, wooden boards, insulation boards and glass wool, buckets, etc. We also went to a few constructions sites to get more wooden boards and insulation, and finally went to the storage place of the person who helped will do our roof, Mr. N's storage where we collected all kinds of stuff ranging from nails to paint to wood that we can later make into some killer furniture.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;One necessity in collecting usable garbage treasure is a truck. We got a truck for a great deal (about $800) at a local dealer. It is a Honda and this kind of white mini truck is very common in Japan. Its small but very useful and easy and cheap to maintain. We don't have much experience with driving a manual so for the first few days, there was a lot of explosions and engine stalls, but our good friend Tyson, who helped us collect stuff, also gave us instructions on how to drive the manual (without making the passengers sick). Lots of thanks to Tyson, Maiko, Brad and Hana for coming up and helping. Hope you come again soon! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7147601515146633402-616828463433409666?l=nojiricabin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nojiricabin.blogspot.com/feeds/616828463433409666/comments/default' title='コメントの投稿'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://nojiricabin.blogspot.com/2009/06/usable-garbage.html#comment-form' title='0 件のコメント'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7147601515146633402/posts/default/616828463433409666'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7147601515146633402/posts/default/616828463433409666'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nojiricabin.blogspot.com/2009/06/usable-garbage.html' title='廃材集め　Usable Garbage'/><author><name>Chowchow</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13712345987756130956</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xd36ipdHpCQ/SiZQ6jktLUI/AAAAAAAADJ0/ZZTTl92RPzg/s72-c/Cabin+160.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7147601515146633402.post-7487438445446966139</id><published>2009-06-01T12:17:00.004+09:00</published><updated>2009-06-01T12:29:37.814+09:00</updated><title type='text'>窓枠　Window frames</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xd36ipdHpCQ/SiNKtYwn2sI/AAAAAAAADI0/s6vgXAfdYuU/s1600-h/Cabin+154.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div&gt;筋交いを全部打ち終って、次を窓枠を入れていくんだけど、前回書き忘れた一つのステップがあるから、一応ここで写真で紹介します。これは大介のパパが担当してくれたんだけど、全部の柱にカスガイを打っていく。これは柱と土台を繋げるため。いろいろと家を固定させていくのに小さく、大事なステップが重なっていくもの。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238);

It's basically a big U shaped nail connects the beams and posts. Small steps like this help to make the frame nice and sturdy.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Next we worked on putting in the window frames. Because there are support beams every 45cm, for the areas that we will put in windows, we had to cut the middle of the posts so that the windows will fit. We also had cut into the beams on the side so that the slate of wood for the bottom and top of the window frame will snugly fit into the wall. We used a chisel for this process, which was a popular tool and we all fought for our turn to use it. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The window frame took us about 3 days to finish, and before that, it was the carpenters last day with us. Before they went, we put up the beams for the porch, which I was able to catch few pictures of. This beams are super heavy, and we would never have been able to put up this house if it wasn't for the help of the carpenters. They also put up the bottom boards of the roof with unbelievable speed. Our very special thanks for Mr. F and his son for all their help. Mr. F is an exceptionally skilled carpenter and is Daisuke and my new hero. Not only was he very skillful, he did so much for us in the three days and really taught us a lot. We feel very lucky to have had the opportunity to work with him and his son and hope we can have some sake with them when we finish this cabin :)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7147601515146633402-7487438445446966139?l=nojiricabin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nojiricabin.blogspot.com/feeds/7487438445446966139/comments/default' title='コメントの投稿'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://nojiricabin.blogspot.com/2009/06/window-frames.html#comment-form' title='0 件のコメント'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7147601515146633402/posts/default/7487438445446966139'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7147601515146633402/posts/default/7487438445446966139'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nojiricabin.blogspot.com/2009/06/window-frames.html' title='窓枠　Window frames'/><author><name>Chowchow</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13712345987756130956</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xd36ipdHpCQ/SiNJ2-PjYnI/AAAAAAAADIE/mR8RSUWloQ4/s72-c/Cabin+068.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7147601515146633402.post-7072006649580003181</id><published>2009-05-25T17:41:00.005+09:00</published><updated>2009-05-25T17:57:53.313+09:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;

This is so we will be able to reach the higher parts of the outer walls as we work. Mr. N, who will be doing our roof kindly let us borrow the parts for the footings and while we were at his warehouse, he also said he has some nice quality wood pieces that can be used for the inside walls. Although they are small pieces, their quality is fine and since he has no use for them, he said we can have it for free. So, of course we &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);"&gt;piled&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);"&gt; those in the truck and took it back with us as well. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style=""&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style=""&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);"&gt;Although I haven't mentioned it yet, we are trying to use as much recycled material and/or materials that would otherwise be considered garbage. Lots of materials go to waste in the construction business, not because they are unusable, but simply because they have a slight stain or scratch, or are basically just left over from the construction site. And, of course, since most people don't want their house built from left over material and also because its probably more work than its worth for the construction workers to collect and use left over parts, everything is bought new and in bulk. So, the warehouses of these construction companies are filled with usable materials that they feel bad about throwing out since its usable, but also can't use for their new projects. They are happy that we can get it off their hands, and we are super happy since we get materials for dirt cheap or free. I once read that the amount of garbage that comes from the construction business is about 40% of the total garbage produced in a year in the US. So, if we can make use of these materials that will otherwise just be thrown out, it is both ecological and it keeps our purses happy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style=""&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style=""&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);"&gt;After we put up the footings, the carpenters worked on the roof (I went up on the roof once, and it was quite scary so we will leave that to the professionals) and they taught us how to make the rest of the walls. Like I mentioned before, we are using Japanese style building methods, and with this style, we put in wooden post sideways to fit exactly between the posts to strengthen the walls. Once one goes in sideways, we also put another post in the middle (this kind of post will go up every 45cm of the walls), so the sideways post is now in the way, so we have to measure and cut the middle of the rod, so the sideways one once again fits exactly inside the middle rod. Its kinda hard to explain, but the pictures should make it clearer. The top of the middle rod is cut into a 3cm square and this fits exactly in a hole that was made earlier on top. Technically, everything is supposed to fit snugly together so in the past they didn't have to use nails. We are not quite as skillful so we hammered in nails after we put everything up, just for extra support. We had to do this process for every 45cm all around the walls, except for where the windows and doors will go. Since we are &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);"&gt;sloooowwww&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);"&gt;, (especially since we were still just getting a hang of the circular saw) this step took us about 2-3 days to complete.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style=""&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style=""&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);"&gt;Next time, I will talk about how we will make the window frames.

It's really quite self explanatory, basic tools like the circular saw, impact driver, hammer, chisel, and measuring tools all demonstrated in the pictures above on how NOT to use them. The large monster saw was left behind by the friendly carpenters for us to borrow and Jimmy (my little brother) built a sawhorse.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;(using directions I found on Mother Earth &lt;a href="http://www.motherearthnews.com/Do-It-Yourself/1985-07-01/The-Worlds-Best-6-Sawhorse.aspx"&gt;http://www.motherearthnews.com/Do-It-Yourself/1985-07-01/The-Worlds-Best-6-Sawhorse.aspx&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Next time we will post more on the framework that we have been working on for the past few days.

There is so much we did and so much to put up on the blog, but all I want to do is tucker up into bed. But, although my muscles ache, if I get any more behind on this blog, I know I will never catch up, so here is a quick update :)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;First, we came back to &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;Nagano&lt;/span&gt; and the foundation was complete. The next few days we will be working on the frame of the cabin. We ordered &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;pre&lt;/span&gt;-cut wood for this cabin which means that all the materials for the frame will come and all we have to do is put them together like a puzzle. We are building with old-&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;style&lt;/span&gt; Japanese architectural techniques and not by 2x4. 2x4 is supposed to be easier, since in a nutshell you make the walls and them &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;lunge&lt;/span&gt; them up and add and roof and you are done. Japanese style building involved cutting the tops and bottoms of the wooden logs so that they &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;piece&lt;/span&gt; together like a puzzle. &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;Technically&lt;/span&gt; speaking no screws and bolts are required, but we (and most all modern &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;buildings&lt;/span&gt;) will add screws and bolts for extra support. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Since we are complete &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"&gt;amateurs&lt;/span&gt; (its our first time to use a circular saw...), we came to the conclusion that cutting out all the parts on our own was too much to handle from the start. But we wanted to experience the Japanese &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9"&gt;style&lt;/span&gt; building method since there is probably a lot we can learn from it. So, we decided that we would &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10"&gt;pre&lt;/span&gt;-order the wood (as most builders do now) this time. Hopefully, someday we can do this step on our own :)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;We hired a couple carpenters through &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11"&gt;Tres&lt;/span&gt; Homes (our contractor) to help us out for the first few days of work so we are not completely lost in the process. They will help us out while we build for frame of the cabin, and we will try to learn as much as we can from them until we are left to work on our own. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The first day went by so quickly and so much got done, that I missed out on a chance to take pictures, but the picture shows how much of the framework went up with one days work. No wonder everyone uses &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12"&gt;pre&lt;/span&gt;-cut... can't beat modern technology and convenience. We were surprised at how quickly things went, but also at the size of the cabin. It felt small while we made the foundation, but now it seems tall and quite large. I guess we have a lot of work ahead of us! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7147601515146633402-8568669534583482533?l=nojiricabin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nojiricabin.blogspot.com/feeds/8568669534583482533/comments/default' title='コメントの投稿'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://nojiricabin.blogspot.com/2009/05/tres-homes-these-last-few-days-have.html#comment-form' title='1 件のコメント'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7147601515146633402/posts/default/8568669534583482533'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7147601515146633402/posts/default/8568669534583482533'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nojiricabin.blogspot.com/2009/05/tres-homes-these-last-few-days-have.html' title=''/><author><name>Chowchow</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13712345987756130956</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xd36ipdHpCQ/ShNMkT-gH6I/AAAAAAAADFo/W1c7CiCf9kA/s72-c/Cabin+057.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7147601515146633402.post-4818058740582479327</id><published>2009-05-17T21:32:00.007+09:00</published><updated>2009-05-17T21:55:17.847+09:00</updated><title type='text'>土台終了　Finalizing the Foundation</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;(English follows Japanese)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;土台を作る最後の日ははセメントを入れる型の外枠をする作業に取り掛かった。内枠はしっかり固定してあるため、結構外枠の建てつけは簡単にできた。しかも人数が多かったため、かなり早く作業は終わった。最後にYさんが細かい調整をして、やっと型が終わった。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xd36ipdHpCQ/ShAFSqnrUfI/AAAAAAAADEA/t0_IQrAvYj4/s200/Cabin+016.jpg" style="display:block;

Since the inside is already sturdy, and we had a few extra hands to help out, the outer wall went up quickly. After Mr. Y made the final adjustments, the mold was finished and ready for cement pouring. That afternoon, the cement truck came, and so did a gianormous crane truck. The crane truck carried the cement pouring into the UFO shaped container to where the cement will be poured into the wall. Daisuke and I just stood back and watched from a safe location as these huge trucks did their work. Watching these trucks, somewhere inside we couldn't help but think, 'what is DIY about this?' I had not expected such huge trucks to be involved in this process. If, however, I am allowed to give a few excuses for this un-DIYness, there are a couple. First, we originally wanted to do a more simple foundation. The cabins around here were all built a while ago, and the foundation is simply wooden stalls on cement blocks so the bottom of the foundation is open (good for storing wood). The article I found on Mother Earth news about a simple cabin also had this kind of foundation. It's more simple and costs less since it doesn't require so much cement and work. However, since Japan is an earthquake prone country, and also a very overly careful and strict country, the local building regulations do not allow this kind of foundation for new buildings. It's true that the cabins here shake with simply the dog scraching her ear (and she is a small dog too), but none of the cabins here have collapsed because of an earthquake (and there was a big one around here a few years ago). So, although I think the simple foundation would have sufficed, there is no getting around local regulations, so we accepted that we have to invest in the foundation. The second reason is more obvious and is that we are complete amatuers and we were going to get professional help to do the foundation anyway. It would &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;have been nice to do the simple foundation with professionals as a learning experience for future projects, but I guess that can't be helped. The foundation, of course, is the base of the house and a slight unbalance would mean a crooked house, and difficulity in putting in everything from plumbing to windows later on. Although we don't have plans to learn how to operate a monster crane truck in the future, this process was definetely interesting and a learning experience for us.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;We couldn't stay for the whole process of pouring in the cement, but after pouring the cement and evenly spreading it out and making sure there is no air inside, the cement was will be left to dry for 2-3 days and then a few people will come and take off the mold and the foundation will be complete. The foundation process took about 10 days total (excluding holidays). We would like to thank Mr. Ishida, Mr. M, Mr.Y and all the other workers for all their hard work and patience with working with us. Also, thank you Jimmy, Ai and Ayako for coming up and lending a helping hand, we hope to have you come over again soon:). &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Now that we have a beautiful and strong foundation, we can look forward to building our wonderful cabin!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Extra: Flowers near our Cabin 野尻の近くの飯山で菜の花祭り&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xd36ipdHpCQ/ShAIxfyZoTI/AAAAAAAADFQ/0ZkOvEozcRc/s1600-h/Cabin+042.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xd36ipdHpCQ/ShAIxfyZoTI/AAAAAAAADFQ/0ZkOvEozcRc/s200/Cabin+042.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5336775204873543986" style="display: block;

We added more steel rods to the existing ones with the wire wrapping technique that Daisuke mastered a few days back. We created a fence like shape with the steel rods to where the foundation's cement walls will go up; this will help the walls be more sturdy. After that they brought in wood boards that will be used to create the inner and outer mold. We hammered in little plastic peices into the holes of the boards so the concrete won't sweep out later. After that, the task of putting up the walls were mostly done by the Mr. Y, since it requires accurate measuring (we dont want slanted cement walls, or we will have a slanted cabin). The next couple days were spent with Mr. Y doing a lot of measuring and adjusting, and after the inner walls were up, we were able to help out with toughening up the walls by screwing in the inner medal peices (that we put together earlier) and putting up steel pipes and wooden sticks along to walls. This made a big difference and after all the support was up, the mold walls were as straight as the strings were put up initially. All thanks for Mr. Y's detailed work. We can actually see how high the foundation will be, and its become easier to visualize the cabin day be day.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7147601515146633402-1476845367939476820?l=nojiricabin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nojiricabin.blogspot.com/feeds/1476845367939476820/comments/default' title='コメントの投稿'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://nojiricabin.blogspot.com/2009/05/mold.html#comment-form' title='2 件のコメント'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7147601515146633402/posts/default/1476845367939476820'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7147601515146633402/posts/default/1476845367939476820'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nojiricabin.blogspot.com/2009/05/mold.html' title='型　Mold'/><author><name>Chowchow</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13712345987756130956</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xd36ipdHpCQ/Sg01jxbWy9I/AAAAAAAADDA/WV_vAp2lrU0/s72-c/Cabin+006.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7147601515146633402.post-8996929176633215671</id><published>2009-05-12T16:38:00.006+09:00</published><updated>2009-05-12T17:36:05.774+09:00</updated><title type='text'>セメント　Cement</title><content type='html'>次の日は生セメントトラックが来て、一輪で生コンを運んで鉄筋を刺したところにドバン落としていった。これが、運ぶのはいいんだけど、下ろす時が重くって、ちょっと凹んでいるところで一輪ごと落とさないようにしても、重くって、ドッシャーンっと何回か鉄筋に突撃してしまった。おかげで、運び終わったらころには何個の鉄筋が曲がってしまってた。特に問題にならないみたいだったけど（なにも言われなかったから・・・呆れてるだけだったかもしれないけど・・）。&lt;div&gt;生コンを運んだあと、鉄筋の周りにきれいに引いていった。この時のコツはセメントを力入れて押さないで、優しく撫でるように平らにしていくと石田さんが教えてくれた。優しく撫でてくうちに凸凹の表面も綺麗な平らになり、意外とちゃんとした出来上がりになった。&lt;img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xd36ipdHpCQ/SgktkSqY-jI/AAAAAAAADCU/SiPNB0-y2Cs/s200/CIMG4143.JPG" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5334845335105239602" /&gt;&lt;img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xd36ipdHpCQ/SgktLCesh3I/AAAAAAAADCE/UNibvY1iSo8/s200/CIMG4144.JPG" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5334844901264492402" /&gt;&lt;div&gt;この日は弟も手伝ってくれて、石田さんも応援にきてくれたので結構あっと言う間に作業が進んだ。しょうもない素人でも人数がいれば、案外ちゃんとできるもんだな、と石田さんも言ってくれて、私たちもとてもうれしかった。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xd36ipdHpCQ/Sgktrx4CsHI/AAAAAAAADCc/41BXsurHTwc/s200/CIMG4148.JPG" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5334845463743082610" /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;午後は今後土台の壁になる部分に使うパーツを繋げる作業をした。これからは土台の壁用の型を作っていくらしい。その型の外枠の板を二つ繋げるパーツで、白い部分の外に板を打って、その中に生コンを埋めていく。楽しみだ。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;We continued work on the foundation today.

By the time we finished, quite of few of the steel rods had fallen victim to our clumsiness. But it didnt seem to be a big problem, and we were able to bend most of them back into place. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;After carrying all the cement, we spread out the cement between the rods. The key here, we were told, was to not press down on the cement, but gently spread it by moving the spreading tool back and forth. Eventually the rough surface becomes nice and smooth. My little brother helped out today so we had many hands working. Mr. Ishida was impressed that even though we are all hopeless amatures, if all of us work together, the end result is not so bad. In the end, we put together parts for the mold that we will make to build the cement walls for the foundation. More to look forward to :)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7147601515146633402-8996929176633215671?l=nojiricabin.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nojiricabin.blogspot.com/feeds/8996929176633215671/comments/default' title='コメントの投稿'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://nojiricabin.blogspot.com/2009/05/cement.html#comment-form' title='0 件のコメント'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7147601515146633402/posts/default/8996929176633215671'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7147601515146633402/posts/default/8996929176633215671'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nojiricabin.blogspot.com/2009/05/cement.html' title='セメント　Cement'/><author><name>Chowchow</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13712345987756130956</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xd36ipdHpCQ/SgktkSqY-jI/AAAAAAAADCU/SiPNB0-y2Cs/s72-c/CIMG4143.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7147601515146633402.post-7947228139780791924</id><published>2009-05-08T11:31:00.003+09:00</published><updated>2009-05-09T09:30:07.636+09:00</updated><title type='text'>砂利 Gravel</title><content type='html'>この日は全体的に土を広げて平らにする作業から始まった。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xd36ipdHpCQ/SgTMY-pjrzI/AAAAAAAADA4/iRqRj2ap0yw/s1600-h/CIMG4135.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xd36ipdHpCQ/SgTMY-pjrzI/AAAAAAAADA4/iRqRj2ap0yw/s200/CIMG4135.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333612588219739954" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;石田工務店から砂利がトラック3台（4台だったかも・・）分来て、全体的に広めた土の土台の壁や、トイレやお風呂になる部分の上に砂利を圧縮させていった。&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xd36ipdHpCQ/SgTNsfRsWhI/AAAAAAAADBQ/oTjrP7pmdas/s1600-h/CIMG4138.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xd36ipdHpCQ/SgTNsfRsWhI/AAAAAAAADBQ/oTjrP7pmdas/s200/CIMG4138.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333614022907157010" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xd36ipdHpCQ/SgTNJgnP5qI/AAAAAAAADBI/7NzER0EvW0A/s1600-h/CIMG4136.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_xd36ipdHpCQ/SgTNJgnP5qI/AAAAAAAADBI/7NzER0EvW0A/s200/CIMG4136.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333613421970581154" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;これは壁の下やキッチン、お風呂などはただの部屋より重いから地面があとで動かないように、しっかりと固めるための作業。野尻に土は真っ黒黒でふわふわ。スリッパー履いてると靴下が真っ黒になっちゃって、なかなか色が落ちない。これはここの土は黒姫の火山灰だからなんだって。なるほどだよね。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;全体的に砂利を引いてから、壁になる場所（下に土台のセメントがしっかり入る部分）に25cm単位で鉄筋を砂利の中に打ち込んでいった。これが以外とまっすぐ鉄筋を打ち込むのが難しい。あと、金槌も重いの使うほうがちゃんと打ち込めるんだけど、これはこれで重くって腕がかなり疲れた。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xd36ipdHpCQ/SgTN4prsQAI/AAAAAAAADBY/SShCzpZ4cCw/s1600-h/CIMG4139.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xd36ipdHpCQ/SgTN4prsQAI/AAAAAAAADBY/SShCzpZ4cCw/s200/CIMG4139.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333614231858987010" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;でも全部の鉄筋が打ちまれたら、キャビンの部屋の形とかがはっきり見えてきた。ここが廊下でー、ここがお風呂でーってなんとかなく昔砂場でお家ごっこした時の気分になった。(ちなみに大ちゃんが立っている所が廊下）。鉄筋が全部立った後は、長い鉄筋を周りに引いて、ワイヤーで立ってる鉄筋に繋げた。このワイヤーを付けため専用の道具があって、大ちゃんが結構途中から上手になってた。巻いてくるくる。でもこれをやるだけで鉄筋が結構安定した。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xd36ipdHpCQ/SgTOOiKWGII/AAAAAAAADBg/wxltJ6yL5xE/s1600-h/CIMG4141.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xd36ipdHpCQ/SgTOOiKWGII/AAAAAAAADBg/wxltJ6yL5xE/s200/CIMG4141.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333614607797196930" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;この日はとりあえずここまで。また一つキャビンの形が出てきた。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This day we started by completely flattening out the earth below the foundation. For the areas that will be under the main four walls and the walls of the small rooms (like bathroom and toilet) they brought in 3(or 4) trucks worth of gravel. Since the soil here is very soft, laying the gravel and pressing it down helps to stabilize the earth so the foundation doesn't move later. The soil in Nojiri is probably the blackest soil I have ever seen and is also very soft. The contractor told us that the black top soil is from an eruption, from who knows how long ago, of the Kurohime volcano nearby. No wonder the soil here is so rich.&lt;br /&gt;After laying out all the gravel, we hammered in steel rods around the areas where all the walls will go. This is where we will later lay down the cement walls. Putting in these steel rods clearly pointed out the size of the cabin and where all the rooms will go. After we put them in, I
