Can We Save This $22,000 Abandoned House in Japan?

We finally started renovating our $22,000 abandoned farmhouse in rural Japan! 🇯🇵 Get 15% off your next Airalo eSim by using code LLOYDANDMANDY use our link- https://airalo.pxf.io/2Rydkg After spending the first few weeks living in the house and trying to figure out exactly what we'd gotten ourselves into, last week we decided to move out so we could properly start tearing the house apart. This week, the real renovation begins. We started removing the old tatami floors and quickly discovered rotten timber, damaged floorboards and some very strange things hidden underneath them. We also continued clearing years of overgrowth from the property — which led to another problem we weren't expecting... wasps (or possibly hornets) everywhere. Despite the surprises, we're finally starting to see just how much potential this old Japanese farmhouse has, and for the first time we can really picture what it could become. We're documenting the entire process of turning this abandoned house in the Japanese Alps into our family home, so subscribe to follow the renovation from the beginning. 📖 Want to know how we bought an abandoned house in Japan?
