From AKIYA (abandoned house) to Dream Home - House Tour Chat with Lawrence in Iwakuni Japan

Lawrence works for the American military in Iwakuni (Yamaguchi) Japan and he says they are "empty nesters" as they were looking a great home with garden space and a garage to enjoy in their retirement years.

In this talk, we chat while we get a house tour from Lawrence and also have the chance to talk with the builder who worked on his house and the supplier of beautiful domestic wood for the project.

For more details, check out the great videos Lawrence has shared documenting his house buying and renovation process on his YouTube channel @cocolenchojapan
