- This is a long-overdue update for the renovation of my machiya house. The inside of the house has finally been dismantled in July, and the rest of the renovation will start and hopefully finishes by this winter!
Finalizing the renovation cost took a lot longer than I expected (partly due to the wood shock earlier this year), and the renovation starting date ended up being delayed for about 2 months...
Here is the previous video of my machiya renovation if you haven't watched it yet

lol, you started off with that look like your inner voice was screaming ''WHAT THE xxxx HAVE I DONE!''. But, that's good, keep that inner fire about it. If there were no panic in you nothing would get done. All those people who act like nothing bothers them either 1) are rich and can pay others to worry for them or 2) they are lying. It's good to see, though, that the determination took over in your eyes. You have faith in yourself and it shows like in a military commander, that look of ''I'm about to whoop some serious ass when and wherever I have to. This battle and the next and the next after that will be won''. Inspiring. Rock on!
Wow thank you for the kind words. You read my mind!! Ass whooping all the way until the end of the renovation!! (Though I'm not doing the work myself...)
Great channel!!!!
Thank you for the compliment!!
This is going to be awesome when completed! Thanks for bringing us along for the journey. 😀👍
Thank you! Still far from finished but at least it started!!
@@GoodOldHousesJapan Mountain's are climbed by taking one step at a time ☺️
Wooowww! It's so empty now!
Thanks for the update, and don't worry too much about what people on the internet think. It's your house. I've seen how much you care about these machiya, so I'm confident that you will take good care of it. 😁
Yes it's so empty now it feels quite strange... I'm really hoping the house to survive this Typhoon season without any major problem...
excited to see your renovation progress.
also PLEASE tell me you saved that map of Kobe!
Thank you! The map is still there but I'm not sure if I want to take it out or just let it sleep behind the new wall. lol
You seem a little nervous man don’t worry it’s a work in progress and will be way worth it in the end and it will all come together fine
So many uncertainties this year especially with the rising cost of renovation...I won't feel relieved until the house is finally done and ready to move in ... 😂
hey from Australia, good to see what happens with the home, looking forward to seeing how the old is blended with the new, this is exciting
Thank you! More videos to come as things progress this fall.
I'm glad I found your channel, especially at this stage. I just viewed my first empty house here in Japan earlier this week, and am currently negotiating to buy it. I'm unsure how old it really is (the agent said it was 100 years old but the website says early 1960s -- it has a mix of old and new elements, and I'm no expert, so I'm unsure of the real age). I'm really looking forward to diving into it and fixing it up! It's been empty since about 1995! Thanks for sharing your info in English; I believe I can learn much from you -- too bad we aren't neighbors!
Thank you for watching! Nice to hear about your first house viewing. General real estate website usually tents to show later dates if the house was reformed at a certain period of time. Good luck with your renovation and hope the city will provide you with enough support & subsidies! To be honest with old traditional houses it's almost impossible to identify all the defects in the beginning, so be prepared!
@@GoodOldHousesJapan Arigatou gozaimasu! The agents have been very straightforward about the repairs (even discouraging me that it's too much), and there's a young guy at the local municipal office who not only speaks English with me, but has also been very, very helpful. It seems that they offer some useful subsidies for repairs and cleaning/recycling, so I'm hoping to take advantage of these!
Thanks for the info and I'll keep following. Have a great weekend!
Thank you for the update! Nice find with that map, do you think you're going to keep it/use it for the new house, or was it beyond saving? Good luck with the rebuild, I'm looking forward to seeing the progress!
Thank you! Haven't decided if I will just let the map stay there or actually take it out. I don't think it's that old, probably early-mid Showa era?
Thanks for the update, and I wish I am in Japan that I might have a chance to visit and learn how to renovate the machiya from scratch. Just curious, I don’t see much the underground pipes/infrastructure. Will it be necessary to re-install for the new tubes for the sewer system? Will you pour the concrete for the whole ground level, or gravels/stones are good enough for controlling the humidity? Thanks.
Hi Peter, there will be new concrete foundations to prevent humidity. Not sure if I will be able to record the process for replacing pipes and wires though...
Is it possible to have an idea of the budget needed for a renovation like this ? Good luck, you can make something great :)
I will be sharing the renovation cost a bit later. It's quite complicated...
Is this a row house with shared walls? If so, do you have plans to make them soundproof? Thanks for sharing.
The two houses besides the machiya are not the original machiya. They were built later on after the existing machiya were torn down. So yeah technically the walls are very close but not connected. There will be added layers on top of existing wall but mainly for structural reinforcement purpose.
Great project...would love to see some details in your videos, like the point of connection for electrical and plumbing to the city services, and how things are done. Just trying to understand the process hoping to buy a machiya house or a house in the country to renovate sometime in the next two years.
You live in JP? I am also interested to see the detail for comparing the different between Japan and North American.
@@peterlo1890 Peter-san...I will send you an e mail to your fumi gmail address....
@@peterlo1890 Hi I just was looking at comments on another video and I realized you may not be the person in this video. If this is true you will not get my email. But I'm happy to help you if I can. I am in California.
@@waileasunsets Yes. I am not the one u know. I am from Montreal, Canada. I am also interested to know how you plan to purchase the house in JP and do the renovation. Thanks.
@@peterlo1890 If you give me an email address we can discuss outside of you tube
Also, you're looking good with that beard. Is it new, or are we just not used to seeing your face because of covid?
Thank you lol I wear masks too often on my videos ;)
