Currently in Japan, and I wonder what the site inspection guy would think of the fact that nearly everything waterproofing related here is pre-fab.

It would send him out of business, but you do lose customizability.

It's also changed a lot since I have last visited in 2019. Family Mart now has Self Serve, and 7/11 here has a lot more migrant workers.

Looking at Site Inspection guy the really bad houses are cookie cutter. Bring on the prefab, it couldn't be worse.

The hotel I'm in has a Hitachi prefab bathroom.

Magic Wands, Bathrooms and Shinkansens. The trifecta.
