English translation: this blog entry is about the reinforcement of a deteriorated wood column in an old farmhouse (minka) in NW part of Kyoto. After correcting the slanting problem, a fresh new wood column is being bonded to the old one, and a new concrete base is also made. In fact, besides slanting a lot over the years, the old column was deteriorated so much that it's actually not meeting the ground at all. Surprising as this is, this seems to be some common problems to be encountered in old house restoration project --be it in Japan or not. This house has over 70 years of history, which means it's older than many concrete buildings that are usually designed for 50 years of life or so.
