    Imagine an ancient monument coming to life- borne by ideas and good intentions. The whole process literally blooms during the development to the astounment of those involved. And still happening. Creativity is the key. Goodwill unfolds what comes naturally to the joy of everyone.

    This is SO nice! I’d like to go visit the house in the US. In which part of Yunnan was this house located? How did you get the owner agreed on the sale and the logistic issue is so interesting. There must be loads of work, preps, monetary and permit issues involved. The environmental and culture aspects for me in particular is really amazing, magical even.
    I asked many questions while traveling a small part of the town there. Yunnan is vast. Love to be able to come visit!

    One point of INTEREST 🔨 nail ends of Flooring, lap siding, joists, rafters,etc... Down size To a minimum... 6 inches or So ! You can cul lots of questionable ends of salvage ( think width of joist or rafter, then split... Couple of inches. Gives you options to trim off bad split ends ! )
