That's your entrance ?
Fo' real ?

Yeah, it's "for real" and I drank all his wine during my visits.

Really nice, but this is a house for people who don't have kids who play football or hockey.

muwahahaha... we, the cat peoples, laugh at your phear of kids related damages...

You don't know anything aboot destruction until you share your house with 2 pissed of cats...

At least kids do it by accident, cats do it on purpose...

Hey, it's shaped like a townhouse, but it does have windows on all four sides, even if they're three meters off the street. Here's a side view with the cleaned-up genkan on the left:



As for the Karuizawa millstone, good riddance:

Meh, your place looks pretty small. I couldnt live in such a small place. But I guess beggars cant be choosers in Nippon.

How'd you get in to get at his wine? He made me sit out in the parking lot and threatened to call the police if I got out of the car. Well, I did get on quite well with the hillbillies next door....

I'm guessing that's all there is to it. He has to lay out a futon in the genkan to get some shuteye. The kitchen is a bucket under the stairs.

It manages to be both small and grotesquely overbuilt for the lot:



But at least it sits on non-liquefuquifying land. The neighboring rattrap hillbilly hovels that Taro mentioned will ensure that it burns down when the Big One hits.

Yeah, not much you can do on those tiny little land plots. But you have done pretty well in this case.

That was a tool shed in the yard of our Karuizawa place, but it ended being a place for friends' kids to camp out.

Not cool, SJ, and not worthy of you. Coligny was obviously joking...and so were you, I guess, but it read more like a straight-up ad hominem shit-sling followed by a wink.

Sorry if your sense of humor ain't on today.

I always give Colingy shit because:

1. He's French
2. He likes cats
3. He's a self confessed unemployable bum who married a doctor so he doesn't have to work for a living
4. I'm jealous about point # 3.

Hey, I'm married to a doctor, but I couldn't imagine not working. That is a recipe for being bored out of your tree.

Beside, we split work according to our abilities, she's exceptionnal at making money, I'm not good at all. She can't do anything inside a house or a kitchen and have the maternal instinct of a blender. I can cook, maintain a house and tried mah best... which wasn't enough, but as long as it lasted I was 24/7 on the job (well except for a 2 days trip to Tokyo when Audi toured the Rosemeyer Concept car, and i still feel guilty aboot it).

Working in Japan, not working in Japan: both are recipes for being bored out of your tree, because either way you're going to be around Japanese people to some degree, about whom predictable would be perhaps the quintessential descriptor (everyone's dear spouses and sweeties excepted!). The key is not so much work/life balance as Japan/not-Japan balance. I suspect the peripatetic Mulboyne knows this.

[Catoneinutica]

Since I seem to be posting house pix here , this is kinda funny:



I was so maniacal about squeezing the last square centimeter of value out of the Karuizawa place that I installed a bar sink in part of the pantry (there was still lots of cupboard space in which stuff could decay over the weeks we weren't there).

[CrankyBastard]

All my working life spent searching for that sinecure position.
Now that I've got it, I'm too old to enjoy it.
