That house is sick! Look at those porches! Wow, I'm so happy for you guys. You're both responsible home owners now. And I have a place to stay in Toronto! Haha, half kidding.

So what home improvement projects are scheduled?

That's a beautiful house! Will feel like a mansion compared to Japanese apartos! And the walls aren't even made of cardboard like they are in Aomori.

By the way if you are on facebook there is a group called I Lived In Aomori, I want you to join it so that we can become friends and thus I can come use your house on vacation.

Thanks to you both. We'll probably wait until the sping before starting on any home improvement projects.
