It's a little sad, to me, to see that large window go. Can't wait to see what you do with all the extra wall.

[@thehoov6672]

Cabinets never compensate for more natural light and a view. Agreed. But love his work regardless ❤

[@Xlaxsauce]

@@thehoov6672 yeah, its nice to see out into the garden when you're working in the kitchen.

[@rexochroy2]

He is craftsman and knows what he wants after 40 years ❤

[@xdxdsheep]

Honestly, I think the big window in kitchen is still a cool idea, and it's sad that it went out of fashion.

[@MishMash22]

40 years old but it looks as good as new. Put 90% of the world’s carpenters to shame.

[@vmoutsop]

Now that’s what you call a real hammer❤

[@AmandaComeauCreates]

I hope this is helpful to the translator. When something is 'level' vertically it is 'plumb' because the old tool the 'plumb bob' will always point directly down according to gravity. The term level is great for horizontal levelness :) but i think 'plumb' was the word that you were strugggling to explain during the door install :) love the content! please keep sharing!

[@biancadolphin7966]

just to add to that... plumb (in english) comes from the french word plombe which means lead (the metal). as it would have been a lead weight that was used to make the heavy weight at the end of the string. it's also where our english word plumber comes from, plombier in french, meaning lead-worker.

[@charliekingpin8568]

I'm really enjoying the upgrade and you tell us the history behind your house, by the time you've finished it's going to be very nice. Many thanks for shareing this with us.

[@scottmcdivitt2187]

As I think you know, the main source of condensation was not the heat, but the propane stove. When propane burns, it becomes carbon dioxide and water in the form of steam. A vent hood above the stove might be helpful in reducing condensation, as well as smoke and the small amount of toxic gas such stoves produce.

[@maialen77]

Shoyan-san has me so nervous, no gloves or mask! It's incredible to watch him work, such a wealth of knowledge.

[@JonatanSodergard]

Konnichiwa! Terve from Finland! Me and my Pappa and Mamma likes to watch Shoyans projects! This is epic! Manufacture and de-manufacture! The house that… … well not Jack but the house that I built… it is a wonderful process… my Father was working in this area housebuilding for 50 years or so… retired now… so then we took care of the woods… 13 hectares of forrest cut by chainsaws and one snowmobile with a sled… with my Pappa! ❤️ He will be 80 years old now in November 2024 and Mamma 75 years old! It is nice to see stuff still works. Cheers, folks! As we say in Finnish: Hyvää Juhannusta! Happy Midsummer! Glad Midsommar! Swedish is my mothertongue. Like a Moomintroll! … there is definitely a connection there! 😎 Have a good one! 🙂

[@wenziz87]

When he said ‘that’s a wrap for now’ i laughed

[@Tapionski]

I thought that was the end of the video 😂😂😅

[@czarlev]

hahahhahahaha

[@krenwregget7667]

great work, as usual. Very interesting about the kitchen window as here in Canada, there is almost always a window in the kitchen, often several as the kitchen often faces the back yard and people want to see out while working in the kitchen.

[@WesFanMan]

@2:14 Thor Shoyan!!!! The Demolishing Avenger!!!

[@DieboldTSZ]

It is truly remarkable to watch a master at work Such clean production This makes me want to move to Japan from the US Ive been working in construction my entire adult life This is the kind of work I appreciate and try to produce A lot of other people in my field do not have that same care It brings me great joy to see these videos sir You have a beautiful home

[@tombaker3794]

I really like that little battery circular saw, it's a great tool in the manner you use it.

[@paulstanding7267]

If this house is anything to go by after years watching him building new home the this one will look amazing when finished.

[@davidchavez81]

Love watching this gentleman work.

[@therealdojj]

Love the renovations of things you have built when you had less experience and the explanation of what's going to be better 👍

[@mrjellow]

I agree with your comment!

[@kevinlucas8437]

Love the sliding exterior door !!! Seems easier than opening a door outward. Personally, I like a large kitchen window.

[@jameswallace9906]

The only carpentry channel I want to watch

[@ouagadougou62]

Bay windows are very practical for a space point of view but aluminium bay windows are terrible from a hear point of view. The cold from outside is transferred and with the heat inside you get terrible condensation. I build insulated bay windows and there is no condensation at all.

[@timsampson5229]

I love your giant mallet!

[@MrBlade470]

I love the big hammer!!

[@AnnisAdventures]

Just for your information, fiberglass is a much more common term in English for glass wool. Amazing and precise job, I wish you could renovate my house! I’m enjoying this series!

[@amefuraggamuffin]

I live in an English speaking country and I've never heard of fiberglass before, except for on how it's made when they were building the hard shell of a speed boat

[@AnnisAdventures]

@@amefuraggamuffin it’s not exactly a common term, but as an American living in the US and having traveled to almost all 50 states, I’ve never heard somebody call it glass wool. It’s always been called fiberglass. There are a couple different kinds of fiberglass, like the ones you see in votes, but fiberglass is what is put on the label of the packaging for this kind of insulation in the US.

[@LuckyDucky79]

Nice work

[@OperationDarkside]

Those single pane windows definitely had to go. Modern double or triple glazed windows are so nice and provide additional sound dampening.

[@user-ge6hf2xs4r]

Always a pleasure to watch a real craftsman!

[@kayreid9788]

i do like to look at your work you are great in wood working.

[@edwardchester1]

Amazing work. Seems a shame to lose that big bay window but will be interesting to see the end result.

[@peepance1799]

Excellent work! Doors like those used to be common with interior doors in the us; called "pocket doors", but fell out of fashion in the late 70s. I always liked them.

[@TeamJesus515]

Refreshing in many ways ❤️

[@YouLostTheGame777]

The care and attention you put into your work (both carpentry and video presentation) are outstanding and do not go unnoticed. I wish more western content had charm like this ❤️ I wish you the very best

[@MichaelMangin-mx6ev]

I'm really admire your work

[@eyema88]

This is great information. We are about to renovate the kitchen of our kominka (こみんか) - ありがとう for all your videos.

[@lw8882]

It's amazing seeing the concrete and crawlspace be that clean after so many years. That would be full of dust, dirt and debris in a western house.

[@Menuki]

It never would be that clean in the USA

[@flagelmulti-media7577]

Excellent work as always... a joy to see someone who cares for his tools and knows how to use them!!

[@mkmclachlan6349]

I think the new improvements will make for a very wonderful kitchen, Shoyan San! I can't wait to see it as a finished room!

[@oldgoatsgarden4897]

Much changes as time goes by, I built my home 30+ years ago and find things that I would do differently every time I do repairs. New products and experience changes how we build. I very much like the new door, but I don't think I would like the small windows in a kitchen, it seems like it would get hot and stuffy during the summer without having good air flow. Thank you for sharing and have a wonderful week.

[@ЮрийЛипшиц]

earthen walls was common in my country too. it's inspirational to see you incorporating more traditional things with modern

[@Raizag]

Oh it is coming along so nicely, I'll bet the end result will look amazing. Can't wait to see more. Thank you for taking us all along with these nice little journeys with you Shoyan-san.

[@eduardomontes1276]

Nice job Carpenter San !!! 👍👏👏💪 Using that big hammer to demolish, you look´s like Thor!!🤣🤣

[@andreneumann3002]

What a nice video series, very addicting to watch you guys 🥳

[@FoxyfloofJumps]

I love watching you work, because it shows that you built well (even on a very tight budget) all those years ago. So many houses where I live, you couldn't do this without demolishing the whole building, because they're nothing but plywood, OSB, and 100X48mm vertical studs and joists. Very cheap, and with hollow bones.

[@CrazyCuban0]

love the big mallet you use :D

[@wormo5096]

It’s a bit sad seeing Shoyan rip his house up. The Reno should be great. Happy wife, happy life.,! 😉👍

[@glenlongstreet7]

When I was much younger, my dad built a garage. He covered the plywood with a foil product. I think it also had asphalt on one side. This was in the 1960's. It was probably a new product.

[@WagnerGimenes]

Your workmanship is amazing. Thank you for this video.

[@Redd00]

Great video its nice seeing this progress! Its good to see that you are renovating your old house!

[@davidjowett8195]

Shoyan san you were having far too much fun using that big hammer to remove the old door and window frames. I hope this Japanese is correct! しょやんさん、大きなハンマーを使って古いドアや窓枠を外すのがすごく楽しそうでしたね。

[@kennethstaszak9990]

Always interesting to see the different construction methods in Japan compared to the U.S.

[@smilleur]

What a wonder full gift this channel is. Thank you for posting.

[@MJMINM]

Amazing work

[@Bill53AD]

Thank you for showing your work. Love the new style door.

[@Roberto-mx2zt]

2:11 The moment for the slightly heavier tool, when you seriously need to replace the part in time, even with the danger to hurt something^^

[@xsbiggy6349]

Shoyan-san, you do excellent work. I enjoy the history you tell us of your construction.

[@B14k3]

such a well built house. thanks for sharing.

[@elliotblanchfield2542]

Beatiful craftsmanship as usual! Thanks for sharing this project on KZbin!

[@somevagrant3772]

Nice, detailed, and consistent.

[@SuperAlexThe13-tx4wd]

It is interesting that in Japan, now, the want to view your garden from the kitchen is not as important. Personally I like to be able to see nature, but then I sat in an office for a long time, and looking at nature around me is better than the interior of a cabinets and wood.

[@fredbosch5392]

That's one big step getting into the kitchen from the outside.

[@HarisWoodshop]

I only have some furniture making and woodworking knowledge. Thanks for teaching me carpentry 🙇🏻🙇🏻

[@api644]

a master of his trade, thank you

[@mashirohakase]

Its amazing to see Shoyan san construct, but I have to admit, Shoyan san is also great at demolishion 3:35. I think the nickname of Hakaishin-sama would fit very well !!

[@BigglesworthTheGrey]

This series is so cool.

[@davidharvey9716]

As a retired carpenter\kitchen myself i applaud your work ethic,also the lack of modern power tools for the demolition keeping the tools to a bear minimum as when ive been working on modern building demolition and when the power is off half the work force complains they cannot do their work, like youself ive renovated my own home and was smileing at your comments you make about your original installation and how building materials have changed, and the fact you were able to reuse some of the original material in some ways are better quality with age and reduces the materials going to landfill or rubbish sites,also the lack of site rubbish left under the foundations as was common pratice here in the UK to dump it under the foundations out of view, Modern draft insulation is a must for keeping drafts out and reduceing temp inside during hot and cold conditions preventing moisture and mold growth,keep the content comming its very informative

[@martingubler173]

Beautiful video. Thank you for this and showing your knowledge. Much appreciated from British Columbia

[@niteman555]

I love the big hammer

[@DJM3991]

Honestly, I would have kept the bay window. But I am a lover for natural sunlight!

[@DannyH7923]

Possibly this is a dumb question, but, is the younger gentleman in the video a family member or apprentice? I believe he has been in several other videos as well. As always, excellent video. Thank you for sharing your journeys with us.

[@benjaminjohnson6476]

Now that it has been a few videos. I completely forget theat the voice over is AI generated! You have gotten it working very well to share your content in your voice but speaking a language you dont know! Very cool! I love the videos and they just seem even more relatable and enjoyable! Keep it up!

[@Handwerkslabor]

Grat work in all your Videos !

[@thor_]

Always enjoy watching your work!

[@mjay4700]

3:33 I love that HUGE HAMMER

[@philmcneill8178]

I think we should all chip in and get Shoyan a Sawzall - it would have made quick work of this demo. :)

[@Skyloche]

Such small windows. Way better with the bigger kitchen windows. But each to their own.

[@andreasgomezcrespo5727]

I love the 100 pound hammer😂😂❤❤

[@GreenSageOutDoors]

This isn’t even demolition… this is so methodical I believe this man could make flat pack furniture better than ikea and for it to bespoke at the same time

[@obigonzalez]

beautiful work.

[@xxekzv]

you know.. ive heard you say “most popular” and stuff like that a lot, i recommend doing what YOU want.

[@Menuki]

He can’t…..it’s what his wife wants. Remember the complaints he got over the tiles

[@art1muz13]

A master, thank you.

[@patricktelfort]

yeah, i need the big window...

[@jgroenveld1268]

Another wonderful video - a question if anyone knows. I noticed the measuring tape and the square having what looks like some other unit of measurement from metric. I think I can see metric (mm) but there is larger units that look like inches. May I ask what if I'm not mistaken the other measuring unit if it isn't SI?

[@KibbleWhite]

I think the bigger windows would had been better, but let's wait and see how it's out in the end...

[@michaeljasper2225]

now that was a hammer/mallet!!

[@joshpit2003]

I always thought it was a good idea to install the floor last. That way you don't damage it when you are doing the rest of the construction. 床は最後に設置するのが良いといつも思っていました。そうすれば、残りの工事をするときに損傷することはありません

[@LouJustlou]

Great video. I think I need a huge wooden hammer. Just have to convince my wife! 😊

[@WillyPark]

When you compare America to Japan, Japan usually has the smaller piece of the discussion, except for your demolition hammer!

[@What1zTyme]

「今日はこれで終わりです。」:D "That's a wrap for today.." :D

[@divineskeptic3153]

SHOYAN'S HANDs must be made of steel....do you ever wear gloves when wrecking stuff????

[@JamesColeman1]

I hope mama makes your favorite dinner.

[@mgmoody42]

@2:17 You can always solve stubborn problems with a bigger hammer! 😉😉😉

[@CoiaItaly]

do builders not use ear, eye and dust protection in Japan?

[@avysark2034]

Could ask the same for anywhere in Europe. Idk how my father has still such good hearing considering that he never used any protection... Eye and dust protection is not really a thing either...

[@bigears4014]

Any kitchen needs a window , otherwise it's like a jail

[@momontiego8705]

what is that green tool used with water seal membrane?

[@mgmoody42]

@3:37 Benji ditch?

[@FirstLastOne]

3:36 I am sure that anyone who has ever swung a hammer during the tear-down portion of the renovation, cheered out loud YEAH when you swung that big hammer and down came the door frame!!! 😆🤣😂😁😊 Nice!

[@jq2812]

Please wear a mask when cutting concrete!

[@eriklebeau3613]

For the first time, I don’t agree at all with Shoyan design. 1 - There’s the raised floor in the kitchen but the door frame goes below the height of the floor. Very bizarre and not convenient. 2- The window is really to small. Personnally I would have kept the floor of the kitchen at ground level. Install vapor barrier /plywwod / Schluter type heated floor / then tiles.

[@zachs953]

May I ask what make is that laser?

[@ArthurDentZaphodBeeb]

Must have been a miserable home to live in without any insulation and leaky single-pane windows

[@dillpicklefig]

Interesting that large windows in kitchens is falling out of fashion in Japan. In the USA people will sacrifice an entire wall to be entirely a window nowadays. Open space and large unobstructed windows are really in.

[@americanangler94559]

Big windows in kitchen Good Little window Bad
