Hi Greg,
Good to see you finally getting settled in. Question on the entrance. The door in the top picture, is it normal to have the threshold that high above the floor level? Where does that door lead?
Hi Greg,
My "car" will have a 660cc engine and have to be only about 5'6" tall to fit in the Cave.
Greg don't need no lessons Toni, his Japanese rocks, MUCH better than mine
Greg,
Congrats on starting to get settled in!
I look at all those boxes, and just want to faint. Last move, it took me three years to get all the boxes undone... I swear, I think I moved at least a few of them a dozen times, from one room to another...
Thanks,
Bill
Greg,
Congratulations on the successful move. I simply can't imagine the complexities involved with of moving over seas. Looking at all the boxes, I hope for your sake that you've got curbside cardboard recycling.
Forgive my lack of understanding of the geography of Japan but how close are you to Stu?
I'm going to have to do something with my Steel City floor drill press... It also limits my choice in small vans, as most are right at the Cave's ceiling height, or more. With a "poured" concrete ceiling, it does have it's bumps and valleys, so I am looking for something at least 1/2 ~ 3/4" less than the lowest ceiling point I can find.Considering that I'm 6'3".... well good thing it's your shop and not mine!
Greg, it is good to see you start the settling in process. As you say, another month or so and life will have a more regular rhythm to it.
Seems to me that you have the makings of a fine shop. The garage area for the power tool workshop and the bedroom with the best view for the hand tool workshop. Now if you can just convince the wife how much sense this makes.
All is well here in Washington, but we are still in the grip of winter. Not enough snow pack here but maybe we will get a late spring snow fall to make up for it.
Looking forward to more pictures and descriptions of your new home and the surrounding town. I know I appreciate anything you, Alex and Stu can post about how life is different than in the USA and Canada. I find it fascinating. I will have to travel to Japan some day.
good luck on the unpacking, and settling in.
Good to have you back online Greg! Boxes...... It's been almost 4 years and still there is stuff in boxes. I look in them and think "oh, that's where it is!" and then forget when I need it Is it allowed to add more electrical outlets in the cave?? Do you have to park the car in the shop??
OUCH
Who is gonna unpack all those boxes as you are getting the shop set up?
Is there electric in the cave? I didn't see a whole lot of outlets. Where are you gonna put the car?
Not a problem, Toni.Well... that I didn't know, so Greg please disregard. Onegaishimazu
Greg,
Good luck getting settled. Some of the logistics you are running into are so foreign to me. (no pun intended)
Are the white lines on the road no parking areas? What are you going to do with your car while you are using the shop?
Wes
