Thanks! Looking good! The white walls and the shoji go together so beautifully. Glad you didn't get tinted shikkui!

Shoji! So beautiful!

I'm learning a lot about Japanese construction, shikkui, e.g. In the us we use joint compound for everything (IIRC) which also comes premixed and dry. You've gone a long ways in terms of labor. I couldn't believe you were holding down a job at the same time. Nice to see your wife for a change! Still a beauty of a home!

How exciting to finally see the scaffolding come down and away from the main house. TBH - I'm not wild about either the brown siding nor the black. The whole effect of that much black is a bit forbidding. Still, your house is a real beauty!

Yuzu-less.... hahahaha What a change! Looking really good and gonna look even better when your kids are a bit older.

Yeah, I was wondering how long it'd take you to discover belt sanders! 🤩Really appreciate your videos, too. Am now just starting to watch and This Old House has nothing on you. Great job, beautiful entry way and house overall. Way to go!

This is soooo beautiful!! i always hope and wish if i able to just visit to see this traditional house in person one day but as a random stranger and foreigner i doubt that could happen.. But still thank you sooo much!!! i love this video so much and really enjoy watching it!!

What a gorgeous home you have created! You must feel so satisfied and happy with the results of your years of hard work.

Wow. So wonderful to see your master craftmanship come to life. You and your wife did a beautiful job. I'm so happy for you and your family.

New sub from Phoenix, AZ. 👋 I enjoyed this video and will be watching the rest to see your progress. Thank you for sharing a part of your and your family's life with us. 🙏❤️

What is the cost of refurbishment ?

😍😍 cantiknya. Amazing work. 🎉

Dude needs get a jacket that actually fits. They both look like scammers. Wouldn't trust them at all.

Beautiful house. And where can you get acquainted with the architectural project of such a house? A very beautiful house.

A lot of those old houses 🏠 are probably haunted 👻 too !

Amazing!

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR DOCUMENTING THIS INCREDIBLE PROCESS! THANK YOU ‼️

Japanese structures are much more complex compared to what I've seen in South Korean structures of homes. Wow!😮

It's great to see all that insulation going in. The exposed beams look great, but hypothermia isn't a good look.

Wow you only paid $20.000 u.s for all that OMG if that was for sale it would go for well over a million dollars after renovations here easy. Lol even not restored here would be $600.000 or more. California 3 million

Is the radiator okey? I mean its looked like you choked it of fresh air supply

Wow… fantastically renovated! Congrats!

Steve in his videos claims to be a "deportation officer", a chef, a security guard. And now a farmer in Japan. He dispenses "advice" for a fee or a patreon donation. Can't seem to find his last name anywhere online. Good luck folks! Caveat emptor.

I'm 2 years late, but that big house would be a fantastic place to open up tiny interconnected cafés and mini restaurants complex with little art stores from local artists in-between. It would make a nice spot for locals and tourists alike while bringing new life to the building and the town and saving it's historical beauty at the same time.

That is extreme amount of work. What you do with all the junk and trash first

Oh man, a fucking 4 year old project just to end up with that piece of shit western like roof style on the side house. Why didn’t you just make it Japanese style? Looks so cringy

Это не дом , это дворец!

Wow you guys turned it into a wonderful dream house to live ❤❤ i wish i would be able to live in a similar smaller house like this in Japan 😻

So beautiful ❤❤❤

I really liked how you did the reconstruction itself, but also the narrating. Very good quality videos!

now THIS is how you buy an old home and renovate it without taking the history and traditions away, this was beautiful to watch.

This video was very informative

Beautiful!

Your videos have been amazing and you've done an incredible job on the house and land. So many foreigners seem to be doing the akiya thing now but you were the 1st I watched and definitely the best👍👍

I loved watching every minute of your journey here. Brilliant find, and you did such an amazing job to get the house finished.. Awesome 👏👏

I loved watching you transform the abandoned house into a beautiful family home it was definitely worth it❤

Great video! Quick question, what is the total thickness of the siding? I really want to do this for a little timber frame I’m building!

I remember the beginning! How far you've come!!

I thought you went out and bought a new one. Still, incredible to see how far the house has come

There's been a while since your last video. How are you doing? What are the preparations like for the winter?

I remember the beginning. The state in which the house was first in always made me depressed. You can tell someone was living there for a long time in a terrible state before they either passed away or moved.

You and your family have done so much to this house! Still love your videos!❤

The begin of the long journey. And every single video was worth the watch. Thanks for taking me on this journey with you Jaya!

😵‍💫Hmmm how did you get to live my life?? 😇 I'll be there soon I hope.🙏

What a bargain!

That literally looks like my friends house in Ibaraki but ik they still living there

We need an UDATE VIDEO!!!!!

It must have been such a journey, your home is looking magnificent now! ⛩️❤️
