Let's begin Oba chan's farmhouse renovation

Eight years ago my husband and I travelled to Izu Peninsula with the mission of cleaning out his dear Grandma's old farmhouse that had been sitting empty for some time. We completed our mission quite successfully, but without the constant upkeep every house needs, it started to blend into its environment. Covered in vines, over grown grass and tough weeds it was looking pretty sad and unloved. Recently though we and other family members have yet again thought about rejuvenating "Obanchan Chi" or Grandma's Place  to its former glory. It is a place we want to  eventually use to get away from it all and to de-stress and re-connect  with nature. However, before any of this can happen a lot of DIY projects are needed and we can't wait to get started.

The farmhouse is in need of a lot of loving and so our next stage or mission begins!
