In our country, the house would be trashed…vandalized…torn up just because it could be…torn up.

Cool place…big job.

Bringing a place back is exciting.

We have a place that needs to be “brought back”….that I’ve “sat on” for 5 years.

So….when I rave about how rewarding and exciting it is to revive an old place, I really don’t know what I’m talking about.

It’s easy to talk.

What do the call that? “All hat”?

The house we live in was this kind of project, though.

Brought back from dereliction.

It looks cooler to bring back the Japanese house.
