"when are you going to finish here?"
*Ominous music* hahaha 🤣
I also call BS on the beer 🇦🇺
😁My mother watches these videos.
The storage room will be amazing. It all comes with time and energy.
Soon (tm)
Haha! That was awesome 😂👍
@@TokyoLlama The look on your face after your wife asked that question was priceless.
OMG that dramatic end there with your wife asking when you’ll finish the store room 😂
"i'll get it done on the next public holiday/christmas break" has been my go to line for the last decade and a bit lol
Haha, I loved that too.
Glad wife keeps him in line…lol
@@darudesandstorm7002 hahaha, and you still are without any harm and alive, looks like a good line =D
Haha! I also loved that part "soon"😆
"She remains sceptical" 🤣🤣🤣👌🏻 same with me buying more and more kitchen utensils 🙈😅
anybody else thinking about how good he's gotten with shikkui?
"The garden is looking alright." The garden is already looking really nice.
I think I spied a above ground pool! Sweet!
I thought this too as he was panning across perfectly mowed grass, ha. It must be some other landscape stuff or maybe some food plants?
@@l.m.2404 definitely no pool, not sure what it might have been that you saw!
@@TokyoLlama bright blue wall with what looked like thin metal reinforcements, in the background. It was up close so, I suppose it could have been anything. It's so hot in Vancouver, I have swimming pools and water on the brain. lol
@@l.m.2404 ah, that’s probably the large blue sheet I’m using to cover the shed veranda roof
I continue to be impressed with how handy you are, especially with tools you have never used before! That garbage bin looks really nice! You're whole kitchen looks nice, really.
Thank you!
I thought the same thing. I would have never thought of that solution and it looks amazing.
I agree!
Totally agree! That bin seemed to be a strage idea but now that is done fits really well with the kitchen! Hope they'll abandon soon the card box XD
Im pretty sure its a family thing
I laughed out loud at the old man noise.
me too xD
Read your comment just as it happened lmao
"Soon", one of the most notoriously famous last words.
"I like to point out these beer can are more than a week worth"
We're not judging man, This has been a stressful year and a half, We all need to unwind at the end of the day!
Yes, beer at the end of the day is one of the best beers.
@@TokyoLlama Or the first one on a really hot afternoon. Cheers from Vancouver.
not to mention japanese beers are super low in alcohol content
@@Nyanfood plus those are light beers…
@@Nyanfood Not anymore. I have a friend growing hops in Yosano for craft beer brewers. Business is good.
The contrast between the white and the wood makes it modern yet cozy! The final result looks beautiful
Yes the Japanese and Scandinavian aesthetics are so calming, definitely my favorites! It's interesting how they are so similar despite developing from so far away from one another.
@@anydaynow01 It's natural untreated light woods, and simple lines.
“Rice from next door neighbor” ahhh, that’s the best part of country life!
I've fallen into the rabbit hole of camper vans and custom motor homes when I suddenly remembered your ongoing project. Why is home renovation so addicting?!
Me too
Me too
Me: oooooo new update!!!! I was more hype about this video than I probably should have been🤣
Same! I was so excited but I had to wait to watch it.
Me too! I always know there are going to be epic changes!
Same here, I was so curious about the kitchen ;)
Same I've been waiting patiently for 2 months and I got so happy when I saw this
I’ve learnt one can build more shelves but there will never be enough. Specially with kids and a well stocked pantry.
true wisdom
It is the universal nature of storage...the amount of stuff you accumulate always exceeds the storage you currently have. hahaha
Moved into my first apartment a few years ago, and I moved out of a 4 person house to live with my bF. We moved into the place together, and we had a pantry, a lot of cupboards we thought we'd never fill. We thought we had ALL the space.
We're buying new shelving units.
Your home is like a massive art installation. The craftsmanship (yours included) is admirable! Have really enjoyed watching the progression of this project. Good luck with your upcoming projects to grow your channel! Sounds like some great content to watch for. Thanks!
Thanks very much!
Spaniard here. Always have loved traditional japanese style houses, I think you are doing an awesome job in balancing the original style with having all the amenities to feel at home. Keep it up!
Thank you so much!
The winner is “the man with the most tools!”
It’s a game I intend to win.
@@TokyoLlama my husband is on track for this award too….
You can never have enough tools
@@bananenkranz3436 I would change that slightly - " You can never have TO MANY tools."
@@TokyoLlama i dont know....my dad has a basement and garage filled with stuff.....you can never have too many tools. hes got tool boxes all over too.
I have a suggestion. In the event of an earthquake, things in the pantry may fall. It may be better to put some fall prevention fence on the shelves.
Ah, good point! I've seen some simple twine strings used for that in movable tiny houses (yes, on CZcams 😉) - that could work here, I think
Or get those vibrationabsorbing mats Japan uses to earthquake proof items
Or just put the glass items on the bottom and floor, then plastic, then paper or cardboard box items on top.
anydaynow agree with this suggestion.
Maybe. But just having a separate pantry means the food clutter will all stay in that cupboard, not in a passageway. Drawers in the kitchen for the dishes is a great safety measure for earthquakes, too.
“Old man noise” I’m 26 and I don’t have half the energy he does. This renovation would take me a decade...
Incredible. It’s been a treat to watch this house come together.
I am now certain that the previous owners are looking on from the afterlife and putting many blessings down on you for the hard work you are putting into their home.
"I have a lot of tool to save money" LOL That is what I tell my wife.. She still doesn't believe it.....
that lime plaster really brightens up the whole house! i love how you are leaving a lot of wood exposed to show the interior supports and structure of the building :D
Garden is a huge change from when you first showed the house! The kitchen is great and the area by the window looks lovely. Always bowled over by what a great house this is and by your careful custodianship of it. Not to mention the hard work you have brought to reviving it.
Wow! The kitchen looks amazing. Can I make some suggestions? Don’t make wooden inserts for your gomi box. Get some square or oblong plastic buckets that you can easily lift out because you will want to wash them with hot soapy water and disinfectant. Even some from Daiso would do for the time being. Particularly if any ants or other creepy crawlies find there way in. I agree with the plan to cover the kitchen bench top with the same top that’s on your kitchen island. You have two small boys who will put things on the bench without thinking, so an easy clean/care surface will take the stress out of worrying that the wood will become damaged. I’m thinking circles from the bottom of cups and glasses, maybe a hot teapot burn, a sticky peanut butter knife etc. Vegetable baskets - you could get some wire basket drawers and just make a front cover for each basket that matches the wood on the gomi box. You might have to thin it down so it’s not front heavy. I have no idea if the baskets are available here but have seen them used in wardrobe configurations at home. They also usually come on wheels. Different topic - have you thought about asking for sponsorship from your local DIY store or from wherever you bought your tools? Filming other people’s renovations is a great idea. I’ve actually recommended your channel to a number of my students, just told them to put the English subtitles on and enjoy.
Thanks very much, great suggestions. I’d really like stainless steel wire drawers, that’s what I had in mind. Seen them overseas on houzz and places like that but can’t find them in japan. IKEA has some chrome ones I think so it may work with a wood face.
@@TokyoLlama Potatoes need to be in darkness, otherwise, they turn green which makes them poisonous. Any basket will do to store them in, they don't need to be wire but a bit of air to circulate is good. The key is darkness. One thing that you could do is use a noren to cover the gap and provide some pattern as well as darkness. They can also be washed if they get dirty. Just a thought. Also, that idea of Aussie Girl in getting some rectangular plastic buckets for the gomi box is the best idea. If you get the buckets in different colours then the kids can see where to sort their rubbish.
"When are you going to finish here!?" Oh man, so many husbands know that question AND that tone of voice. You've done so much; dare I say you are heading down the final stretch?! Excellent work.
I hope your wife is as proud of all this as we are of you, it is an amazing change from where you started.
The light suffused over that lime plaster is DIVINE. Such beautiful interior, you can feel that house breathing
As much as I wanna see how the house looks,every week. There’s just something regal about seeing “the big finish”,when EVERYTHING is completed!lol
He’s so inspirational,for home owners.
The fact that this is taking 2 years and more makes it worth the wait.
😁
Every Handyman Husband's famous last words to the question of when the work will be done:
"Soon."
Love it.
“Soon” 😂 house is looking amazing!!
Always a joy to see that new video notification
Great timing! We’re just about to start work on our own kitchen, so it’s interesting for me to see the similarities and differences in our design and construction choices. (I’m another foreign resident building a home in Japan. Would love to do a collaboration video with you sometime…except that we a bit far apart so it could be tricky. Anyway, thanks for the inspiration as usual!)
Would like to see that collabo!
Nice one. Where are you based?
@@TokyoLlama Mie prefecture, based on his videos probably on the western outskirts of Matsusaka.
Now I have to subscribe to your channel. Such fascinating content.
@@CVLEntertainment72 Thanks! 🍻
My favorite youtuber is back! Thank you for the update on your home and that you have visited other people who are renovating in your area as well. That should be very interesting, as well as the building of the temple. Hope all is well with you and your family.
Thanks very much! I'll try to get those videos finished... soon.
You've done a great job and as for the tools, your wife should be proud! Not only have you saved money, you've finished everything to a very professional standard!
You can never have too many tools, you never know what wants "fixed" or "improved"
The work is coming along looking forward to the reveal, and the other new videos.
It's been exciting to see all the progress you've made. Such a labor of love and a legacy for future generations! Thanks for keeping us updated!
"Old man noise". I felt that. 😅 Is amazing watching this beautiful house being brought back to life again.
And now you understand why you can never have too many clamps! Love this channel... Thank you.
I have loved watching your videos, I've missed seeing the Japanese architecture (we did a 3 year duty in Okinawa)
I'm hand sewing my own Japanese style apron and this is perfect to watch while sewing. Thanks for the update today!!
Thank you for watching!
Haha I love the ending "when are you going to finish here?" 😂😂 the kitchen is lovely
When I lie in bed all day, I watch your videos and get to feel as if I was productive. Thank you
The spirits of the house must feel so at ease now. You have a home and they do too once again. Lovely and so meaningful.
stunning! The restraint in the kitchen is perfect - beautiful clean lines and also very practical.
I would love to see a cost breakdown once you are finished, that'd be super interesting to see how much money goes into it!
Yes, that's planned but it won't be pretty. Though to be fair, once the necessities are accounted for it makes more sense.
that pocket jig really is a lifesaver. great progress. the tools are also, wonderful investments as you'll be using them for years to come for other projects I'm sure. once you become accustomed to making things yourself. it's hard to go back to buying overpriced things. but wood is ever costly. finding a place near you that sells reclaimed wood is a godsend.
That's a good idea. You can get reclaimed wood quite easily I believe as they knock down so many old houses here.
Getting ever closer to "finishing," I never cease to be amazed at how far you've come. The level of craftsmanship, and attention to detail, is truly astonishing!
One thing I can never get over is the exquisite wood you have available to work with!
LOVE your pantry!
Looking at your kitty litter boxes, I was wondering, might you devise an ingenious way of concealing them, as you did with the kitchen trash receptacle?
Thanks, I'd love to conceal them somehow. Will have to think.
The storeroom ending is absolutely epic. Rewatched it way too many times 😂
Thanks for your update! Really cool to see how everything came so far.
From the USA here, started watching because I have friends & co-workers in Japan and I move expats around the globe. Really like your channel and have enjoyed watching your journey with your home. Your craftsmanship is great, as is your attention to detail, but I commiserate with your wife's question at the end! :D
Even through the video, you can feel the spirit of the house. Lime plaster is a natural antibacterial. It's good to feel joy in other people's joy. Great work.
very excited to learn that the channel will continue once the house is complete !!! everything you alluded to about your future activities with it sound wonderful.
Thank you so much for the update!! Very happy to see how far you've come. It all looks very beautiful!
From the 1st video... Big old house with stunning structure but whole mess and step by step- video by video, the house is getting more and more beautiful. I admire every each video taken.
i am really impress, my husband not even like
take out the trash of the house lol.
Beautiful teamwork. Beautiful house, I'm enjoying watching each of the chapters so far.
damn Llama, those are some damn nice shelves/garbage unit
I love these videos, your voice is so relaxing
I will never not watch these videos IMMEDIATELY and thumbs up before even watching
I love this house so much. I hope there are many others who are rehoming and rehabilitating these pieces of historical architecture. It is a dream of mine now to purchase one of these and fix them up for a vacation home I can rent out to foreigners during the months I'm not living there.
Good job, Dad!
Thanks. Yes, there are quite a lot of renovations of these style of houses going on, many by foreigners too.
Your DIY skills have grown tremendously over the course of this renovation project. Count me impressed! So happy for the update. Looking forward to future vids!
SO awesome to hear some of my music in a series I've enjoyed so much! 🤯 Thank you so much for including it. Another great episode and looking forward to the next one!
Thanks Cody for letting me use your music. Love it.
Was so happy to hear your songs in this ("The Great Plateau" is my favorite)! And the kitchen looks amazing.
Thank you for keeping up the channel to show other craftsman’s work. It is a blessing to watch such talented work being revealed.
No worries! thanks for watching.
I have been watching since your second video and I am so thrilled with how much you've accomplished! As a wife, I understand the weighing on the need for so many tool. But as a daughter of a carpenter, those tools can make a difference in how many projects you can do and do well.
Thanks for watching! Very true, I especially find the routers to be hard to live without.
You've gotten so good at Shikkui! It looks great.
Finally caught up on all your house updates!! Wow, being here since Renov #3 and seeing all your hard work coming to place really well makes me a proud subscriber 🤧 Also, I see you've improved on your humor 😆 I've been watching your videos with my Dad and he can agree that having all those tools can not only save on labor expenses but you can also make your own custom wooden stuff :)
Looking forward to a full house tour in the future! :D
Having to do all that hard work a beer is well deserved. The house looks amazing so far you should be proud.
Thank you!
First and foremost: Dad flannel game is 🔥🔥🔥. But for real, the kitchen looks great and I can't wait to see the differences between how you finished your place and how others do theirs.
I’ve been wearing flannels since the 90s! I never left the grunge era.
@@TokyoLlama those were good years.
Another Great video!👍 I actually met the inventor of the Kreg Jig (pocket screw jig)! I worked at a specialty wood shop when they were just starting out and making their rounds promoting them. I remember being very impressed by the sales demonstration. Also, remember that your pets are a part of the family ❤️ their scratching posts are necessary and I don’t think they’re ugly at all! It shows you love your cat/cats and consider they’re needs over esthetics.
"I swear, honey. Buying these tools will save us money in the long run. I can do pretty much all we ever need on my own then! Think about the money a contractor would want."
*skeptical stare* "Whatever."
Truly a man after my own heart.
Edit:
"When are you going to finish here (with all these tools you bought)?"
"Soon." (of doom)
Had me laughing in tears
maybe this is a weird comment, but I love the music. thanks for introducing me to this artist!
Glad to hear it. It’s great. The artist contacted me to see if I wanted to use his music and I was more than happy to oblige.
Has been following your renovation videos since last year and now, wow! What a beautiful house 😍
Absolutely beautiful. You did an incredible job. And thank you for showing us your house renovation stage by stage. It has become one of my most favorite series on CZcams :) And that garbage bin is fabulous!!
Thank you!
I love the mix of countertops in the kitchen. Really makes for a "custom" look and feel. Love the plaster to lighten spaces.
I have recently discovered your channel, and have already binged all the episodes. As a Canadian living in Japan, all the information you are providing is of great interest! I especially like the idea of your series on different people doing basically the same thing but in different ways/means. That sounds great.
Thanks, yes, just preparing for this project saw a huge range of doing things. All very interesting.
"When are you going to finish here....soon". Famous last words. First time view. You're doing an amazing job. Subscribed.
Thank you!
Ooh its exciting that you'll be showing other renovations in japan! I was wondering what you would do once your house is completed. :) I can't wait to see all the other projects
i’ve been waiting for the next one :)
Reckon you are nearly at the point where you could build your own house now. Your skills are top notch
I am always amazed by the progress you are making. It looks like it was done by a professional. By the time you finish your house you will have the skills to hire out and help others! Beautiful job
Thanks, no, not professional level... but all the imperfections are mine!
These videos are always so calming to watch.
Amazing update !
I just love the care and respect that you and the others show for their tools and the process. It’s the embodiment of Japanese philosophy toward life…beautiful!
OMG!!! That edit with the fade out after she asks you when you're gonna finish the back room ..... oh man that was GREAT!!! LMAO!!
Having tools means having skills, barter power with said skills, and self reliance/confidence. Cheers fellow. 🍺
man i feel the "old man noises", is always the back and the knees
The ending is like dramatic horror movie Jajaja
When are you going to finish here? (suspense music)...
... Soon...
I love the kitchen is beautiful
For your waste sorting bin, if you find it often being pushed too far under the counter, add a small furring strip to the underside of the counter so when you push the bin into place, the back of the handle hits the strip when the bin's face is where you want it to normally be.
It's a quick and cheap fix that will keep you from having to readjust the bin when you're walk past it lol
Still loving your house and the work you've put into it really shows!
Thanks very much!
Looks great. Your work just gets better and better. Patreon? Absolutely.
Thanks very much
Is there a term in Japanese for the joy of being the first who liked online content?
I love watching your videos and your progress. Its like watching an HGTV show without commercials and all the fake drama. Your voice is super soothing and the way you edit the vids and add music is awesome! Always happy to see you post. Your kitchen is looking beautiful!
I look at tools as an investment. Buy good ones, take care of them and you'll have them for many many years. I bought my husband some tools this past year and he's been so happy. It has made even small projects around the house more enjoyable. Trying to get things together with no tools makes life harder.
That's right. Things can be done without the tools but often take much longer. Some tools, like routers, are very hard to replace.
If you ever need a chill video in between - I would love to see your cats enjoying the house. Laying in the sun, enjoying balancing over the beams (already spotted a red tail
Yes, I have a cats in a Japanese house video planned, glad to hear there is interest. They do like to climb up on the rafters and climb trees.
You should be very proud of yourself. You have accomplished so much and a lot of it you did yourself, so that must be so much more rewarding. I hope you and your family get to enjoy your home for a very, very long time. God bless you and your family!
Thank you!
Jaya, you and your wife are amazingly lucky to have bought a house built by a temple carpenter. For that, the price you paid is astounding. As far as I can tell, that class of carpenter, jiin kenchikuka, comes in two grades classed technically as architects, and they are at the very top of the strict carpentry hierarchy of Japan. To get there, they must spend many years as apprentices and journey workers, study constantly and pass increasingly difficult examinations and critical reviews of their work. You are very lucky indeed, because a jiin kenchikuka is skilled at creating structures to last centuries.
Live here in the United States and enjoy fixer upper series. Thank you for restoring a beautiful home in Japan and it looks amazing in the video.
To be completely honest here i watch your channel for a few reasons, 1) your craftsmanship is amazing. 2) Japanese items in your home for my future house (i.e. The sink you showed) 3) i love watching a house become a home.
Thank you for watching!
That kitchen is looking fantastic! Don't get trapped by the idea of that top shelf in the pantry - get it done! (This coming from a guy who has been meaning to paint a single piece of wood for a year).
You're house becomes more and more stunning with every video you post. I could see a sort of shelving unit with pull out drawers for that area next to the garbage bin.
After researching what Shikkui lime plaster is, I must say you didn't want to cut any corner and your carpentry works in this episode showed that as well, in fact, all your remodeling works showed that. Your house and yard turn out very nicely. Very enjoy watching your progress. Too bad your brother & cousin's satay isn't available in the US. I love satay.
Wow the chance to really learn the culture and history and even learn from the original carpenter as well as see him buiild a temple. what you are doing is keeping traditions alive. Thank you!
