On w him, I went to look at a model house the other day. We got an advertisement in the mail, or at least in the mailbox, advertising the all-natural, all-wood construction, which is actually pretty rare/expensive in Japan. It was really near here so we went to check it out. It was pretty nice. All the floors and walls and stuff were wood, to the point where it seemed wasteful to use so much wood. The heavy wooden chairs and tables were especially annoying. At least the fireplace wasn't wood. (There wasn't one.) But it was fun to look at anyway. Of course there's no way I'm planning on buying a house; I barely spend any time in the one I have now. The last thing I need now is a more expensive, all-wood place to store my stuff and my family.
