We had a woman who was Native American of the Lenape tribe. She was a “dowser” and walked over our land with a bent willow branch. It was fascinating; I was only six and it was at our summer bungalow in Maryland. She found water but the well had to be dug 275 feet deep. Even though some say that it was a German invention, the fact that our Native American friend practiced water witching and I see your wife doing this as well leads me to believe in the land bridge that once existed between the Asian continent and North and South America. There are just too many coincidences and similarities between Asian populations and Native Americans. So cool! Your home is a true labor of love!
I love this project. What a labor of love. You have done an amazing job. I live in California if you want to trade houses. Thank you for the English subtitles.
old style wood stoves like that don't burn efficiently which causes the creosote buildup in the chimney like what you experienced. An insulated chimney helps reduce creosote buildup. its also recommended to use a new style wood stove that has secondary burners in it to more completely burn the combustibles in the wood.
Hopefully you were not recommending a metal pipe chimney also the main reason creosote builds us is primarily due to wet and green wood or the combination of the two. You may want to also consider the expense of transitioning to a new stove cost of new may be a problem. There is always the future to upgrade.
Very interesting project! May I ask if there are specific restrictions/requirements to purchase and renovate such an old and particular building? Very nice video, thanks for sharing it!
The music sounded like something from the eighties , the baby pigs back legs looked paralysed. Subtitles to fast to read so more consideration needed when editing. but apart from that it wasn't bad.
I have always dreamed of rebuilding an old house in county side Japan for my retirement. Enjoy very much watching you and family in this video. Congratulations. It’s so much work and you and friends and family have done such a great job. Enjoy life! ❤️🇯🇵
Do not keep your wood logs outside, you need to keep them dry. Make a woodshed. They need to dry for about a year before burning them in the stove, this will help prevent soot in your pipe (which can be dangerous).
Duh? Lead is too soft a structural material. It will compress with time. Lead has compressive strength of 4 KSI. Carbon steel has compressive strength minimum of 19 KSI. You would be better using a steel plates and cut beam to fit thickness of plates.
Did you do all this on the side, i.e. during your normal job? Unfortunately, this is impossible in Germany. Extreme bureaucracy and countless building regulations would not allow that at all.
You bought a truly beautiful house 🥰; a diamond in the rough! I love what you have done with the kura. I am looking forward to seeing your future videos. Gambare!
There is no such thing as a god of water. Sorry. There is just the one true Creator God, the Father of Jesus Christ. Accept him and pray to Him thru his son Jesus. Then you can be saved with Living Water as he says in Scripture.
Really enjoyed this video. Watching from England. Challenging work but the old house has “good bones” and will transform into a lovely home for you both. Will continue to watch your progress x
Adding Fire brick, fire baffles and a wood stove with an upper dampner will greatly increase unburned carbons and be more efficent putting out more heat yet using less wood.
Beautiful house, and nice project, but... Lead ? Atleast encase it in something, lead is toxic, if it ever comes in contact with the soil below it will heavily pollute it.
you are doing a wonderful project,.But you should know that using two sticks to find where the well is located is incorrect. the sticks will not indicate where the water is. As you saw when you got to the bottom there was no water. Ask a professional to search the area and see if he can find a well for you.
You doing amazing job , this is a huge project , love you ingenious '' heating system '' .... With decent size fire place or stove you can heat up whole house but Im not sure if you can do it with Komika house , some Komika houses do not have attic.... This method is about circulate the heat from the stove in order to heat up all rooms , using heat ducting technology which is basically main pipe from stove going to attic and from main pipe there are individual flex pipes to each room , so each room will have vent in ceiling and heat will travel through those vents , this method is used in Europe, US or Canada in old houses ,this method work with thermostat and electric fan which will push hot air to all rooms , , Im not sure if this method of circulating the heat from stove or fire place is applicable for Komika houses , This method however is only applicable in house with attic so pipes are hidden and not exposed Your carpentry skills are amazing to watch !
I keep thinking how incredible, yet simple, the craftsmanship in old Japanese architecture is But I also keep wondering how much more efficient the houses could be with proper insulation
we live in an 1881 house have been working on it for over 30 years, but it is paid for and when money comes in we fix what needs to be fixed, new roof, siding, insulation, floors, etc. my wife and I enjoy fixing the house the way we want, have fun. God bless,Mathew6:33,Proverbs3:5
first time watching your channel , was impressed with all the work all of you done, especially like when people redo older buildings well at least over 100 yrs old. Will be watching for more.
In the USA we have men and women with similar skills. We have in our area alone craftsmen who have been doing similar work that has been passed down from father to son. Many, there are dozens in our area alone. They hold contests everywhere, so the skill level continues to grow and thrive. Here in the USA there are people like this everywhere. In our town alone there are more than a 1000 and that number is growing right here in the USA.
お疲れ様 ! You put so much effort and passion in this project, it is wonderful to see. Hope your dream will come true soon ! Have you ever thought of teaching the techniques you use ? I wish I could learn to work like you ! /頑張って !
Takashi san; thank you so much for the English subtitles! I love what you are doing; I wish I could do it! Good luck from The UK, I know you and Yuki will both do your best. Keep these videos coming - I think I have watched them all, and now have started watching them a second time; I envy and admire you both! 🥰🥰🥰❤
Before was a shack that was falling apart, now it won't fall but is still a shack, we have different views on homes I suppose ruclips.net/video/FHcejzNz9xU/видео.html
This is so amazing, you should get together with Tokyo Llama, he has a RUclips channel and he is interested in visiting folks who have amazing skills to resurrect these older houses like you do!
Hmm, I admire the aims of the project a lot. However, there didn’t appear to be any archaeological recording of the sub floor with its hearths, and this is regrettable. The re-flooring was too brutal in terms of the original timber that was lost - some had rotted, but other timbers were sound and more of this should have been recorded, treated and conserved. Using concrete as a replacement floor is definitely not recommended, for a variety of reasons. This house is a treasure, and it would have been good to have consulted with professional conservators before starting. Repairing the outbuilding with earth mortars was excellent however - full marks for that bit. Interesting use of dowsing too.
How can you possibly complain about the brutally hard work this person it doing while you sit on your couch watching you tube? If you think you can do. Better job then go do it.
the GOD of water is the great I AM. Jehovah GOD. the GOD of all creation. He who created heaven and earth. people. amen. good clean water is a blessing.

I want to do the same thing! Renovate an old Japanese house! Super nice project!! Greetings from Barcelona!!
Is beautiful to see the amount of work put into making something of so much history shine again.

Looks a little bit like the house by my neightbare totoro😊
How they found the well...amazing o.o

Does 'llamma' come from 'llamarse'?

I've never seen anyone add lead to a home
It's in solid metal form and in a place that nobody will ever touch. So I guess it'll be OK.
I have always dreamed of rebuilding an old house in county side Japan for my retirement. Enjoy very much watching you and family in this video. Congratulations. It’s so much work and you and friends and family have done such a great job. Enjoy life! ❤️🇯🇵
Thanks for your comment! I hope someday You can find a nice old folk house
We enjoyed to watch you both working so hard to rebuild this Kominka. You are an enviromentalist! We need more people like you guys.
Thank you! Please watch again!

lead is enough
Impressive. Makes all my renovation videos look like a rookie. :) 上手ですね。
Very interesting, do you need permits to do this? Does Japan have loose rules when it comes to rebuilding older property?
thank you so much for providing English subtitles. it was pleasant to watch!
Hi 🖐🙏I'm Swiss 🇨🇭. Landscaper. I do garden. Do you think is it possible to buy such old house for a foreigner? 🙏🖐🙂🇨🇭
Did you do all this on the side, i.e. during your normal job?

you could've built a Rocket Mass Heater, that would have been perfect there.
Did that baby animal not have use of its back legs.. ?.. and you just released it.. ?

Hii sir,
I'm very curious to know what you are finding in the well and why you closed it What's the belief or rituals behind it. Love your video ❤️
There was a well but no water came out.
That's it
I keep thinking how incredible, yet simple, the craftsmanship in old Japanese architecture is
But I also keep wondering how much more efficient the houses could be with proper insulation
I can't wait to see more of your videos to come! Good luck and be safe and healthy.
Thank you！Please look forward to next time！

It's basically building a new house XD
Are you sure that was a deer, and not a wild boar piglet😂?
Excellent work!! You are doing a great thing.
Probably not a well. More like a place they sent their sewage

Thank you for sharing this process. It is so cool to see the inner workings of this historical architecture!
love this Minka style house
And the ghosts come for free ?! Wow
Что они за яму выкопали в середине видео?

thank you. it was fascinating!
Love from USA! When you put so much of yourself into a project,it becomes special😊
Even a Goban there. Instant buy
Thank you for sharing ! 😀👍
Thanks!
Awesome n respect!!!!!
great work. you will be pleased when such an extensive job is finally done.

Great video - love your old folk houses & would love to restore one myself - cool baby boar, hope she's doing well!
We are so happy that she is doing well!
@@kaziya 👍😊
Just found out today this channel,and really like it 😅😅😊😊
I love it when someone expects the house to be rotten before buying it. :D
How can japanese wooden building like theese last for 200years?
The old craftsmen are amazing！
Oh how I miss Japan
I like that house
Konnichiwa Kaziya San; you live and breath wood!
Wow, an amazing house filled with treasures from the past!
Thanks!
I live nearby in Hachioji and we are looking for a kominka like this in Uenohara. How much did you pay for the house, if I may ask?
This is a rented house!
What a wonderful video!
Thanks!
Sugoii
The house looks great but why put windows and then destroying the shoji ones, you could have gotten the clear one if it was really necessary
Thank you! I don't understand what you mean. sorry
😯👍😊
I wish you guys kept the fire places & im worried about the tilting & you guys just added an extension hope it doesn’t ruin in the future.
Thanks for your comment!
This is so amazing, you should get together with Tokyo Llama, he has a RUclips channel and he is interested in visiting folks who have amazing skills to resurrect these older houses like you do!
Congratulations on your new home ❤
Really enjoyed this video
I hope you do more of these 😇
thank you! Stay tuned for the next
@@kaziya i will 👍
Awesome
(No interiors .. ?!)
Thanks!
beautiful

The mayor changed in the election
Great work ! Do you work in construction ? Or is all of this self-taught ?
Thank you! Both of them!
👍
Thank you !
Tanuki! Wish we had them here in the States.
They are so cute!
we've got racoons here in the usa. unfortunately, they are in Japan now too, causing damage.
楽しそう。忙しかったね

nice thanks
Thanks!
The baby Boar was paralysed and couldnt use its rear legs ?? and you released it ??

Whoa buddy u admire the project while being critical. 😂😂
