Some views of the old place before and after
This would be after. Our old house is still standing, as well as the last 1/3 of the old apartment house.
Here it was just prior to demolition.
After demoliton.
And during!!
Boom, Boom down goes the house!
Smash, crash and tumble!
Camping, summer of 2000
Living room of our new house, not quite finished :)
About 2/3 of this will be for the roof-top garden./BBQ pit!
7th floor, still got the supports in, this is the bedroom floor.

My workshop entrance, no, not the door on the left, the hatch in the floor :(
My view of down town Tokyo from the roof-top
The wonderful spiral stairs, my idea, but the architect is taking credit for it now, he fought tooth and nail against it.
Top of the stairs, nice open space between the floors beyond, huge window on the left.
Don't look like much for $5000 does it? The control panel is on the left, just above the skinny wooden self, cordless yet!
I know it is not a lot of counter space by western standards, but for Japan it is fairly good. Notice the utter lack of electrical outlets! This will be fixed!
This is the other counter space, opposite the first pic, there is one double plug there at the end, why they did not put two singles and space them out is beyond me!
