First Impression-Part 2

As promised I want to update you on what we are calling part two of our concreting work. We started out with the front entrance here. It is such a great feeling to get this job completed. Little Obachan's is starting to look a bit more respectable!

           

This part of the house where the engawa leads out onto was in desperate need of repairs with broken up concrete and more weeds creeping in.

Our assistant is always willing to learn a new skill and have a go!

Here we are blending the front concreting done to our entrance at the end of last year to our part two work.

                           What a big difference a bag of concrete can do to a place!

When we first concreted the front entrance we placed the ends of two roof tiles at the corner of our entrance. Last time I engraved our surname into the concrete to make it more personal with all the work we are doing on the place, but after some thought we felt the need to add, "Obachan chi"~ Grandma's Place.

I feel this little touch is the icing on the cake! As always an onsen is calling us to relax our tired muscles after flexing them with our concreting efforts.

More next week.....
