Last month, we replaced the air conditioning unit in our home with a Mitsubishi one. While I imagine household units in Japan cost less than 300,000 yen, here in the U.S., it ended up exceeding $6,000. With taxes included, that's around 1,000,000 yen in Japanese currency. Why is it so much more expensive? Are the ones in Japan smaller? I'm not entirely sure.

 

Our next project is to replace the fence around our house. It's starting to rot in some places, so we're planning to start by replacing the 105-foot (about 32 meters) section along the south side of our house. We're currently getting quotes from several companies. When changing a fence in an American home, you have to consider how to split the cost with the neighbor whose property is divided by the fence. This can be quite complicated.
