True Tales From Old Houses

131: Minisode Japanese Toilets and Mouse Mummies


Listen Later

This week's minisode is off to a wild start, with Stacy and Daniel discussing their unconventional "words of the year."

Then, Stacy talks about her upcoming trip to Japan and shares a story about Google Translate and bidets.

That segues unnaturally into a discussion about a common old house problem: animals that die in the walls. Daniel's house has largely escaped this issue. So, he has chosen an unusual way to honor the critters he finds during demolition.

Finally, Daniel chats about wrapping up the cottage renovation with a punch list he calls The Apology Tour.
