Japan akiya exterior renovation Japanese burnt cedar yakisugi siding installation
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- I'm doing outside renovations at my abandoned house in Japan and enjoy scenery from around the town of Ine, Japan.
In this film: I will be changing the siding on the lower wall outside. I have chosen to install shou sugi ban, or burnt Japanese cedar on the exterior of the house. It's also called yaki sugi in Japan. It's basically a charred cedar wood that is popular on the exterior of homes in Japan. The material itself is pretty messy.
This a DIY project that anyone can do.

hey man, i wanna tell you the amount of work you’re putting into these videos is appreciated. keep going - you deserve way more views. love the storytelling along the way
Appreciate it so much! Thanks for watching and enjoying!
This is spectacular, D. Really soothing to watch and such great cinematography. Keep up the good work!
Thanks Kris! I've set a new bar for myself lol oh no lol
Bravo! Your best edit yet. Looking pretty pro on the yakisugi install too....Keep up the good work.
Thanks for the support! Hopefully I’m improving my methods little by little 😅 It definitely feels easier to do each successive time.
Wonderful cinematography, the house is looking great!
Really appreciate it! Hope the goat gets the same treatment at your place lol
I wish RUclips wouldn't count all the times I have viewed this as one view. This did not seem like more than eleven minutes. If you did this with a small team, impressive. If you did this as a one man team, wow!!!👍
Thanks! Just me and the camera... it made the work seem like double lol But I had fun doing it!
The length of time watching matters a lot! Repeat minutes are very helpful as they add viewing time and then recommend the video to more viewers!
Good to know… the algorithm is a mystery indeed lol 😂
@@DIYJapan Listen to JapAnimate -- he knows all the deepest mysteries!
Good to see the bleak black wood back again in full force!
In general i believe this short movie is at least on par with other one actor movies like "Life of Pie" or "Castaway" if not far better, the director definitely has a lot of talent and i am excited to see his next works! :D
P.S. i absolutely loved the scenes in which you made your coffee, they were really calming especially in jux to position to the handy work of cutting, drilling and glueing :D
I appreciate the compliments! The bleak black doesn't end lol But I learned a lot since the last time so it was a much easier project.
This is my favorite! Great job :)
Thanks so much! 🙏
This was really beautiful.
Thanks a lot. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
This is such a vibe. You've captured the spirit of akiya remodeling perfectly. Loved the cinematography.
Appreciate it! I really tried to capture the feel with the video.
nice compact industrial grade-ish looking espresso machine
Love my espresso machine! Picked it up in Italy and it was custom made by a coffee mad scientist lol 😂
It's crazy! The old wood siding is barely anything more than a veneer!
It’s absolutely an abomination 😣 but to be fair, it held up rather well considering it was 70 years old.
Beautiful video
Thanks! I’m glad you liked it!
Lovely shooting and editing! Nice touch writing the "Like and Subscribe" on the vapor barrier--the kind of signature humor you are honing well!
Thanks 🙏 It was such a spur of the moment thing too lol 😂
Howdy. Visiting from Engrish Virra channel.
Hey Z lol thanks!
keep on going. i love your videos. you are appreciated.
Thanks man! ✌
dude its a great vlog peaceful and gives great vibes
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very nice video man, I love the coffee scene. I’ve never seen a coffee maker like that before! Looks like some good coffee! Hope all is going well with your house. I’m watching your videos a bit out of order, but I enjoy them nonetheless.
Thanks Julio! It's not a very common espresso maker and it's also not very easy to use for a novice coffee drinker lol These days the videos have less order lol so no worries.
This was a fantastically satisfying video. Just very calming, and soothing. you're just taking it a day at a time. And the insulation will make the house so much more comfortable. I know certain climates you don't want a ton of insulation keeping heat in. But I feel proud, watching you work honestly, and in your own way. Learning and growing as you go.
One question: how do the Japanese handle cracked foundations like that crack I see next to the crawlspace vent? Is that just not a big deal where you're living? I'm so curious.
Yeah, over time, the house has sunken a little. That crack is definitely a result of that. I haven't really figured out what to do about it or how to fix it. I've just accepted it for what it is. I have seen some houses literally put on jack stands and raised so they can repair very bad foundations... but those houses were completely in ruin. I can't see that method being very cheap.
you are very talented.
Thanks for the compliment! 🙏
Lovely 🙏
Thanks!
Finally got the time and connection to post on my main account. Too many hours in the hardware store and laundromat today.
Enjoyed seeing you both pull off the old crap and put up the new in the same video. Gives a feeling of accomplishment, ne? Do those boards get all over your hands or gloves?
My house has the wood stain on the floors, beams, piers, etc, and if you touch it then it becomes a part of you. lol
Yeah, hence the gloves lol but since they are on the exterior, I have little contact with them in daily life lol 😂
Your interior of your house stains your hands? Lol maybe it the persimmon stain that they used to use?
I would have reused your old rusty nails to fix the boards on as screws look unsightly. A handy tutorial nevertheless.
I totally agree about the screws being unsightly. On the upper part I had smeared them with black caulk to hide them but on the bottom I will paint them with black metal paint later to cover them up. I just didn't get a chance to for the video because it actually started to rain and never cease lol
nice change to a more asmr style notalk. btw just a heads up in case you werent aware 7:27 those garabukuro don't hold up well in summer if exposed to prolonged direct sunlight. They literally disintegrate into tiny particles very difficult to clean up.
I'll try the no talking style ever so often. It's tougher to make because every action has to be conveyed through film.
And I never leave those bags out. I always take them to the dump after. But sounds like you have experience with that lol My neighbors would probably hate seeing them laying around lol
@@DIYJapan yes, I do indeed have experience with disintegrating plastic bags unfortunately. That and the previous owner burried a bunch of styrafoam boxes in the small garden, which we are still cleaning up a year later lol. Had to sift dirt in my Gorilla Cart with water to get the majority of it separated(it floats ofc)
Sounds like it was a nightmare. They seem like they could disintegrate with moisture… once dipped into water and they would dissolve lol
You had me at the espresso machine. Awesome.
I did a similar thing with installing bespoke pieces of kanelite foam in between the hashira on top of the tsuchikabe (fyi you can also get kanelite foam with better insulation performance). I did a lot of installing bits of foam and found it to be a major time suck. Have you considered doing external insulation? If I could do it again, I'd skip inserting bits of foam and just wrap the whole house in full boards. Way faster. My latest video covers this. We did inserted foam and then external insulation. You might want to fill the gaps with expanding foam as well.
I was interested to see the caulking under the housewrap. I used エースクロス011 気密防水テープ for the seams, but didn't caulk.
It's a lot colder in Myoko than Ine, but I'm curious if you're going to upgrade the windows to something more modern.
Sorry for all the comments!
I checked out your video! Great work! The windows are probably the single worst source of cold coming into the house. I would love to upgrade them but they are huge upstairs. The cost is just too much right now. For now I am insulating the floors and cracks around the windows. I am sure you know as well as I do that the cold attacks from all angles and is a worthy opponent that we always lose against lol
Really impressive editing and composition. To say I’m a little jealous would be an understatement! Serious question. How does the burnt wood stand up to the weather? It seems the burnt surface comes off easily. Does this mean it will degrade quicker than ‘normal’ wood? Can it be sealed to protect it?
Have binge watched your other videos and am enjoying your progress so far. Amazing location as well!
Thanks! To answer your question, the initial burned outer portion will ''wash'' off with rain eventually over the course of 5 years or so. It will begin to expose the wood underneath that is, essentially, still ''baked'' but a little harder than the outer surface. That portion is less black and more of a dark brown much like a piece of firewood that doesn't burn all the way through. It's still tough and hard but doesn't have the really dark color. But eventually the sun will bleach that portion and it'll become lighter and lighter.
There is a type of yaki sugi ban that is painted over with a clear coat to preserve the black fired area for a bit longer but the longevity is negligible compared to the cost. It will always end up looking the same. I might make a video showing some of the stages of the wood. There are plenty of homes around the town in various states of sugi ban degradation.
Glad you enjoyed the videos!
@@DIYJapan -Thanks for the explanation. It's kind of amazing it takes that long to 'wash' off and then end up the way you describe. This explains the look of traditional housing I've seen on my trips to Japan (especially in Kyoto) .
Thanks again for the reply
8:25 furrings. This is the way. :)
I was thinking about your suggestion the whole time lol 😁 much appreciated. Honestly thought "Why didn't I do it this way the first time''
excuse me sit where did you get your esspresso machine!?!? it's beautiful @6:55
This came from Italy. There are two companies who make these, La Pavoni and Gaggia Factory. Search them!
But my unit is custom made with the temperature adjustments so it’s a little different.
Very nicely done. 👍 By the way, can this burnt siding be simply purchased? I appreciate how meticulous you are.
This is purchased exactly how you see it. It’s charred from the lumber place I order it from. I think maybe in America you’d have to do it yourself? Can’t imagine any place selling burnt wood lol no one would buy it in America lol
@@DIYJapan Yes, definitely. That's so awesome that you can purchase this product.. Because it's a common material there, eh? Very smart and effective way to create long lasting siding... Looks damn good too! Yeah, people in the US aren't hip to such a thing. Too bad for them!
I think part of the benefit is it being a bug repellant for things like termites and burrowing bees. It’s really messy though. Obviously I have no reason to touch it but if I did it would leave me covered in black lol I can’t see any American house wife agreeing to that lol but I do see some people starting to use it.
@@DIYJapan "This process is used to preserve the wood by charring it. The heavily-charred surface of the board makes the wood fire retardant as well as resistant to rot, insects and decay."
You know your stuff! Gonna try it in your house? Lol
Do you have a video up explaining your background a bit more? I get your experience but your content is super unique. What made you go to Japan? I know you said you have a family coming out but I’m kind of waiting for it to be a bunch of waifu pillows or something. 🤣
Coming soonish lol Some people have asked the same, I have ideas about how to share more details but I always need to be more ''creative'' about it. Waifu pillows lol That made me chuckle... would make a great joke in a video... but I can't justify the cost of such a thing for the sake of a joke lol My wife is just camera shy but she's coming around to making an appearance soon lol at this point she needs to or people might think I'm crazy for sure lol
@@DIYJapan buddy, you don’t need to make up elaborate stories; we’re already impressed and supporting you on this. It’ll be okay. -Waifu in the mail-
Thanks for the support! Polygamist asian waifu premium pillow set canceled lol 😂
Can you please share the coffee machine's brand name and model? It looks really good and compact. Thanks!
Hey Janis, this is a Gaggia Factory lever machine. It’s almost exactly the same as the more readily available La Pavoni professional. It’s probably more compact than a traditional cappuccino machine but more difficult to use.
@@DIYJapan Thanks a lot!
New subscriber here. You will never be able to find a house here in the US for 6 grand.
Welcome! I've been away from the U.S. a long time. But I hear the prices are crazy. Property is still very much an investment there. Not here.
Pls throw all those rusty nails properly. I saw u discarded it all over the place in ur yards when u pull it off. It is very dangerous if any of those stuck at anyone foot. 🙏 Good video thou, take care.
Oh no worries, I clean up everything afterwards! But you're right, I should have a bag on my side to make the clean up and work area safer. Good suggestion!
why do I get gay vibes from your vids?
I don't know... why do you? lol I'm not gay at all if you're wondering lol
