Good evening. Earthquake-resistance construction work has begun on Momokurikan, which is over 100 years old. Two people who have always been kind to us, Mr. Tanaka and Mr. Shiba, have come to help us with the work. Because the house was built by hand, there are only a limited number of carpenters who can repair it. Although they are over 60 years old, they are still active and do a very careful job. Today, we are meeting to replace all the gable boards on the roof, which have rotted from the rain. Even with just one design, it takes a lot of money and effort to assemble them out of wood.
Although living in an old house can be a little inconvenient, I really like the quiet atmosphere inside the house, the sunlight that shines in depending on the time of day, and the dim atmosphere even during the day. However, the only unfortunate thing is that it costs money to maintain. And even though the appearance doesn't change much, it's quite expensive! Would I still live in an old house? Me? I probably would.
At work
At the company, we have manufacturing meetings that go on until late at night. In order for everyone to go home without overtime, to finish good products on time, and to increase production, if we make small, steady improvements one by one, we should see big results in a year. When I see employees starting discussions on their own, I sincerely think, "Thank you." They're helping us out in so many ways. Together, we will create a workplace where the young people who will be joining us in the future can work with enjoyment and a sense of fulfillment. *See you again*
