This might be one of the most suitable sponsorships I have seen on KZbin. And great advertisement as well. No fluff only things that are relevant both for your project and for the company.

Its so cool to see a girl in the mini digger..I'm in Construction so it's good to see ❤

[@puffolotti]

i'm the most evilest man in the world because i have a semi-fetish for female workers in protective suit... i mean, proper attire to cut trees, pilot helicopters and so on, not modified sexy-oktoberfest-maid-attire. sooo... 0 results :'(

The Yanmar SV-05 Mini Shovel is my spirit animal. 👷

[@_Zane__]

Thanks for making normal videos I can show my kids. Kids are looking forward to the next part.

[@ANTONINJAPAN]

Thank you for tuning in! What's most exciting about this Renovation for You? xoxo Anton in Japan

[@sunkeypokey2807]

everything!

[@crazycutz8072]

Your energy, Anton, makes us want to try rhe same. Hund from Copenhagen

[@grbapkr]

Exposing all of that beautiful wood!!❤

[@qtdcanada]

The Yanmar Mini Excavator is well designed and engineered for the tight spaces in Japan (especially in traditional Japanese cities)! Japanese companies do excellent jobs with their products/tools, taking into account constraints (including space). Looking at the increasing popularity of Kei cars & trucks, I believe that this Yanmar Mini Excavator will become popular at construction sites in other countries.

[@Noroelle66]

Everything about this renovation is exciting. I also loved the renovation of your other house. But what's very interesting for me is, that such small excavators exist. We've got a narrow way on the side of our house to the garden and wanted to do something about the landsape, but the landscaper said there is no way a machine would fit through the passage and everything would have to be done by hand, which would be very expensive. Now I know there is another way :)

[@sunkeypokey2807]

i love this series, we can feel your love

[@ANTONINJAPAN]

thank you for your comment!

[@jeremycloutier7971]

Crazy how this house looks so different when its empty!!! 😮 so much potential! Cannot wait for the next video!

[@gfvdc]

I’d love to see a little more in-depth on the plumbing and electrical work if possible!

[@ANTONINJAPAN]

Content coming! 4th video will cover some electricity and plumbing

[@davidpope7253]

I actually think the waste disposal costs are quite reasonable, Is it ¥40,000 Yen, especially if it’s sorted and disposed in a thoughtful manner to avoid a massive toxic waste areas. ideally materials would be repurposed as much as possible as you seem to do which is great. do they have mini “waste skip bins” in Japan where you can fill up and a truck picks up for you. I really enjoy your diary style content, so entertaining thank you

[@7728abbott]

These wonderful people of Japan, their reserve and dignity, and their magnificent spirit, they shine so brightly in your videos! What a special place to film!

[@HutaToota]

That mini ex is so cool! I cant believe they make one so small!

[@7728abbott]

You are off to a great start, Anton! Perfect project, great confidence, and fresh new faces. Excellent video today.

[@pobstrel]

"Maybe put some insulation" Forget maybe and make it definitely! As I'm sure you know how hot and humid summer is in the city and freezing cold in winter.

[@telanos2492]

Looking forward to where this goes! As it sounds like you have some familiarity with construction / renovation: Is there anything in particular that you're going to do different in Japan to account for earthquakes, that you wouldn't have had done in Sweden? Also, are you roping in friends from your modelling career to help with your renovation? Jonathan also looks like he could be a model!

[@BrendaHoward411]

You could place a skylight in the upstairs and a bay window in the kitchen would bring in much needed light.

[@ksesob9705]

This tiny excavator is probably the most Japanese thing I've seen in my life :D

[@jju22]

Am I the only one who wants to know how much it cost at the dump?

[@petergriffiths6174]

You are not 😅

[@cindygr8ce]

I've been to an American dump but it's been a LONG time lol. My mom and grandparents lived in the boonies and we had to take our trash to the dump where you bought specific bags and laid by the bag but could also dump by the weight of you had big stuff to get rid of.

[@SHdrummerguy08]

4:09 they also build houses that withstand earthquakes, which puts a different light on materials selection

[@sneedfeed3179]

The digger looks like a toy 😂

[@NerffedLivin]

You call the engineer AFTER you remove the walls you don’t want? Ahahah 😅

[@ANTONINJAPAN]

After we removed the 4mm thick plywood, we called the engineer :) Thank you for your worries, but we have everything under control!

[@NerffedLivin]

@@ANTONINJAPAN 👌 😊

[@godzillioinaire]

The pillars are the bones of the house, not the walls 🤌

[@aglandus]

did you get a new camera anton? clarity in the videos now makes it more enjoyable, keep it up!

[@ANTONINJAPAN]

One of my new years resolutions for 2024! Thank you for noticing, what do you want to see next? More HQ quality coming!

[@json9069]

Great video Anton - can you please explain more about the details of these houses you can't 'tear down' completely? Can you ever renovate the exterior walls or must it be interior changes only - what if the old walls are rotten? Can you add height to the house? Are you in the process of doing lots of projects like this as a business? Are you renting these out? Thanks and I'll be watching!

[@Ragnar8504]

My guess from a European perspective would be that you can renovate as much as you want within the official definition of renovation but if you tore down the house you'd never get planning permission for a new one in the same place. Legally I don't think that's supposed to happen, at least where I live, but it does happen.

[@debbiecurtis4021]

I love those mini diggers. I first saw one in Osaka in 1995. I was like ❤❤❤😍🚜

[@debbiecurtis4021]

I love smashing up old walls.

[@maryambahman4586]

Thanks for the books, Anton!! They got to Australia pretty fast!

[@ANTONINJAPAN]

Happy to hear! I hope you find them entertaining and useful 📕 happy read!

[@debbiecurtis4021]

I'm glad you showed taking trash to the dump, I spent 4 months doing that 4 days per week last year.

[@jefftom4182]

Hi Anton, Do you need a permit for the demo? If so how much are the permits? thank you, Jeff

[@craiggillett5985]

What an amazing machine, Ono San was so skilled!!

[@carycoombe3380]

I had hear about all the abandoned houses inside of Tokyo that could not be rebuilt because of the lack of road space to them. It is very good to see that someone actually can do something with one of these homes.

[@agtugo9197]

First time I've seen a mini digger in my life :0.

[@inappreciable]

I do hydronic Radiant heat(heated flooring) here in the states for work. Curious how common that is in Japan if at all

[@Hedgelele]

I really love the almost TV show style of the New series!

[@applelife9377]

How about asbestos? Do you keep some safety precautions about that ?

[@danegillettphotography]

HEy Anton this is just an outstanding video and your whole journey up tot his point simply spectacular. Well done.

[@pjstew9331]

Yanmar way cool.

[@hawkkim1974]

that slick excavator sponsorship is a very nice idea

[@katsumontenerudorijji4365]

Could've just asked the JSDF to use it as targeted practice 😅

[@debbiecurtis4021]

Please show all the plumbing in Japan. I will need this info soon.

[@Jonluc66]

on re-building the in side of the house what are you going to put down inside to help make the house from Earthquakes.

[@ANTONINJAPAN]

Next video we cover the structural upgrades and retrofittings! Stay tuned

[@dasaggropop1244]

lifegoals: become prfessional mini showel driver

[@justinfrost491]

Best of luck I am sure the home will be very unique and popular for the locals.

[@FirstLastOne]

13:41 I'm sure if you look real close at that Yanmar you see it has a coin slot for 100円 coins. 🤣😂😆

[@piyaaaaaa]

Why Anton look more young today 😮. I like Jonathan he so sweet cute ❤

[@ANTONINJAPAN]

Doing what you love makes you look and feel young! Thank you Piyaa san!

[@oscarnilsson5779]

So fricking sweet! Love demolition! :) Sent an email your way for an idea I had, please check it out when you have time Anton!

[@giddygamergurl7629]

I want to go to Japan and work on a mini digger. ♥

[@injatepic671]

🍱🍱🍣🍣🥟🥟🍶🍶🥃🥃🥰🥰😘😘😍😍☀️☀️🍀🍀🎍🎍💖💖💕💕🙆🏻‍♀️🙆🏻‍♀️ Amazing project! I love your videos. I enjoy them very much and often too. Thank you for sharing your talent, your knowledge, and your enthusiasm or energy.

[@moodyga40]

I love old Minka houses

[@debbiecurtis4021]

The dump is free to use in uk for household renovations. Companies would have to pay.

[@OsakaMotorcycleTours]

Soon I am renovating a couple of houses in Japan, and really wondering how different of an experience it is from Canada. 😵‍💫 I have spent up to $3000 in demo material removal in Canada on a house.

[@ic7846]

Non-rebuildable homes come with the risk of earthquake damage or fire damage. Did you put insurance in place for when these things might happen? It would be sad to see such an investment go to waste. I understand the safety reasons but it's such a shame you can't rebuild the home if you can't repair it anymore. Would you at least be able to sell the land after or how does it work? Anyways, super cool project and excited to see the journey!

[@kirawr.]

That ending LOL

[@Andrea-64]

Easier and faster to shovel by hand 🤣

[@user-ri7vx6wc7o]

That small excavator can unscrew itself if it turned 360 a couple times??

[@godzillioinaire]

I want to do this after moving to japan later this year. Should be cheaper for us in the countryside. Since we'll be living in a different house, hopefully we'll have time to recycle or reuse all of the "trash"

[@joconnor2717]

Not a good idea to get rid of the toilet

[@jsmith6259]

Yanmar should have given you a electric model

[@PikoRJ]

Serious question, are you in any way related to Koshi Mizukami? 🎉

[@ANTONINJAPAN]

No, but we have worked together! 🫡

[@PikoRJ]

@@ANTONINJAPAN 🤩 That explains it. He reminds me of you. All best wishes! 🤩

[@mamig3216]

How much is the yanmar ミニショベル?

[@natesquestyouknowthatsrigh8269]

No toilet 🚽? You’re joking right? 😂

[@patrickthunnus]

Hahaha, all I want is the Yanmar Mini Tractor, no interest in houses (jk)

[@tonydejesus2134]

You and Tokyo Llama should make a video together.

[@epremeaux]

Where, exactly are you taking the garbage? Web site? Map link? Search words? At 7:58 its really hard to understand what you are saying.

[@DAIXINYI]

How much did the rubbish cost?

[@CaioSpier]

And the Garden from another house?

[@grbapkr]

Did I miss how much it actually costs you to dump all of the debris? 50,000 or 40,000 ??? Looks good so far and such hard work !! Do you have to get permits and draw up blueprints??

[@chillnndc]

Driveway??? I thought that was a narrow walkway 😅😅. Usually in a older US urban city those narrow walkways are used between houses to access the back of the house.

[@ytubeee]

Bongkar rumah plus plus kah?

[@injatepic671]

❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

[@FirstLastOne]

6:35 YES, plumbing question, actually more like health concern. Can you legally meet code if you install sinks, tubs and toilets with vented lines to the roof and 'P' traps on the sinks and tubs? Japanese plumbing code still uses 'S' traps for sink and tub drains which are illegal in Canada and the US. I always wondered why they were illegal until I noticed that you almost always get a whiff of sewer gas in homes and businesses in Japan if you are around kitchens and bathrooms. It seems that venting to the roof and using a 'P' trap is far too mendokusai for most so much like the houses that are built with pickup sticks and no grounded consents, the Japanese just forgo proper venting, use 'S' traps and call it a day.

[@FrauWNiemand]

Mr Worman, tear down this wall.

[@Mgraf06]

This old house, Japan edition

[@cristobal.ashton]

New house?

[@ANTONINJAPAN]

New house since two months!

[@metaparcel]

You might as well have asked for her number after the 5th high-five...

[@Music-and-anything]

Just curious, why was the excavator in the junk yard blurred out?? Other than that great job gutting that old house out.

[@mertkoc8024]

Probably because he was getting sponsored by a different excavator company but idk

[@tyrabjurman3584]

I have seen some postproduction talk in Japanese drama shows where they blur out any passer bys in the background. It may be customary to respect peoples privacy like that or some law that forbids featuring people without consent.
