Improving Campsite

Kura barn / storehouse turned studio, consulate and lounge (round-up/catch-all)

Leave a comment

Summer 2021: Glorious Kura barn 125+ yrs old got a century retrofit with heat-pump/cooler, electric upgrade with breaker box & a safety railing

For documentary purposes, these snaps show the unscathed (mostly) exterior (note how a/c does not breach the perfect east facing yakisugi wall)

Along the side is a stash of storage flower pots, crocks & roof tiles + bricks (maybe to make a bar-b-q or pizza oven in future).

See below for lousy video clip included to show the summer sort-ganize project.

voila! now air-con/heat pump, breaker box and power outlets! along with all my projects ahoy, summer 2021
moved stuff away from the walls for the construction time, here for historical purposes, summer 2021

Bonus: a great article and a fine video about kura storehouses in general:
