We have used this downtime to make final decisions on the roof color, the interior flooring, doors, and interior wall designs. I have had to leave most of the decisions to my wife, since I have absolutely no interior design skills. She will be leaving most of the hands on work to me, even though I have absolutely no carpentry skills. There may be a slight flaw in this arrangement.

A Brief Delay
Now that the foundation is finished we can move on to framing. However, the framing has been pushed back until around the 14th of July. We had originally planned to use some local carpenters for the framing of the house, but they were unavailable so we lined up carpenters from a nearby town. Due to another project being delayed, the local carpenters are now available for our house but not for another week or so. It is worth the wait though since the local carpenters have more experience building in this area and they are cheaper.

Really interesting to see how you go about a house build in Japan especially using the Styrofoam shuttering for the foundations. I think delays are often to the good as they give time to make sure nothing crutial has been missed. Best of luck with your build
I am glad all limbs are still attached. The house looks good and I like the kitchen cabinets. At this rate you will be able to start your own DIY show.
