Foundation Continues

The rebar support for the foundation is now finished and the electric pole is still standing (thank you Shinto priest).  The forecast calls for rain tomorrow afternoon, but if it holds off the first pour for the foundation should go as scheduled. My wife is in Tokyo this weekend having a final look at wood flooring, wood paneling, and doors, so we are nearing the finish line as far as planning goes. Once she returns it will be a simple matter of calculating costs to see if we can afford the solid gold faucets and marble floors. If not, we may have to opt for something a little more affordable. Or sell a kidney.
