Day 15 of my #retirement #bikepacking tour on #Brompton folding #bike : Ancona -> Civitanova Marche (45 km, a short but special stage: enchanting #landscapes and #buildings ,and steep climbs [450 m elevation gain] sometimes even pushing my #bike — I'm really getting #old ).
Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Construction of wooden mid-rise and high-rise buildings is gradually increasing in the Tohoku region, pushed by legislation and the trend toward decarbonization. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/09/01/wooden-buildings-increasing-in-tohoku/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #wood #constructionindustry #tohoku #buildings
If anyone has good tools for figuring out when #buildings were built please lay them on me.
I’m very reactive to unknown something which especially is in 1970s buildings. Indoor diagnostics next week.
I’ve been trying to pull building #permits on gov websites but it’s very hit and miss.
Thank you!!
