渡り廊下修理 Fixing our Watari-Roka Passageway

2009.02.25: 亀清旅館 Kamesei Ryokan

亀清の離れ風の部屋へ行く渡り廊下の屋根が落ち雪で大分痛んでいました。地元の石井Roofersに一部を張りなおしてもらいました。先週の週末のお客さんに「塗りなおした方が良い」と指摘を頂きました。「実は、手配済みです」と答えれました。本当はお客様に言われる前に完成すべきでしたが、まあ、直すところが沢山ある中でちょっとずつやっています。常連のお客様が来るたびに「あっ、あれもそれも綺麗になった!」と喜んで頂いております。今年は更に頑張りたいと思っておりますので宜しくお願いします。
The roof of our Watari-Roka passageway that crosses the garden over to the 'Hanare-fu' detached rooms has born the brunt of many a snow fall. It had gotten pretty banged up, so we had our local Ishii Roofers come and redo part of it. Last weekend, one of our guests commented that the roof needed refinishing, and we were able to tell him that we already had it arranged. Ideally we should have had it done before guests complain, but with all the things that need fixing around our inn, we are steadily making progress as best as we can. It's rewarding to hear our regular customers say, "Oh, you've fixed that here and that over there." This year we have many more improvements planned, to make staying at our inn even more enjoyable.
