Today, the extermination of termites and hornets has finally begun.
The first person to appear was a carpenter.
They inspected the areas that had been eaten by termites and decided how to repair them.
The damage was larger than expected, which was quite shocking, but somehow we managed to avoid extensive construction work.
We will have to fix it properly someday.
The same company will handle the extermination and disinfection of termites and hornets at once.
I feel sorry for them as they have to climb into the ceiling and crawl into narrow spaces under the floor in the hot and humid weather.
Both the carpenter and the termite company said that although it is an old house, it is sturdy, and with proper maintenance, it will be fine.
My grandfather built this house, and my father made the garden. Now it's my turn to protect it...
When I was in this house, I was tired of the feudal atmosphere of the countryside at the time, and I saw this house as a symbol of feudal thinking.
And I only thought about wanting to leave the house as soon as possible.
My brother must have felt the same way. He said he would hesitate to live in an old house because it's inconvenient.
So, somewhat reluctantly, I took on the responsibility of managing this house. Of course, my brother is also helping me.
As I started cleaning and doing gardening work, I began to remember the time when I lived here and realized that I was protected by this house and my family.
Through KZfaq videos, I started receiving words of encouragement and empathy from everyone, and this feeling became even stronger.
Now, I have come to think that as long as I can do everything possible to protect this house, it can be my life's work, and that's not a bad thing.
If the younger me heard this, they would be surprised and ask, "What happened to you?!" It's just taking out frustrations.
