4 or sometimes 5.
Nope this isn't a joke and I in no way mean to sound like I'm making fun. To see Japanese work ethic in action is actually pretty Awe Inspiring.
When we moved in, Mark had done the walk around with the building inspector, checking off any existing damage, etc....
The Inspector then said he would be back in 10 days to see if we noticed anything else.
Yesterday at 0800 (SHARP) he was back. The only thing we came up with was..... a floppy refrigerator shelf.
HE WAS ON IT! This morning at 0800 (SHARP) I had a maintenance team knocking on the door. They had with them at least five replacement shelves and a large tool box. Upon an inspection...and a group huddle conference, they concluded that the entire fridge would need to be replaced....
BACK IN FIVE MINUTES (seriously)....I had a new fridge.
They took everything out (with extreme care and respect and gently placed each item on the counter......and then just as carefully restocked it into the new fridge)
I had to take a picture. (sneaky....cause it would have been weird)
I had heard stories of how almost everything done is collaborative....but to see these efficient teams in action was really something.
P.S. This is probably a lame thing to blog about....but until my house is set up, I'm not getting out much.

You will be so glad that you are blogging about the little things. I look back at our time in Japan and I am so glad I was detailed in our blogs about our time there. I'm forgetting the little things, like how many Japanese men it takes to get the job done!
I love the fact that one of the guys is wearing a hard hat...
Kate thanks for the reassurance of your comment. If you don't mind though how far along were you? You know I never thought about the IUD being an issue but that actually calms my nerves by knowing that could be. Because after that had happened I thought that I had a problem or something but I know friends like yourselves that have gone on to have a normal pregnancy and baby afterwards. Thanks so much,
Sarah
