  • What could go wrong on such a basic easy project? If you're buying an old vacant akiya in Japan, then chances are you'll need to do some wall repair at some point. In this episode I will do some repairs on damaged walls and paint them using a white wash technique. Projects never go the way I plan!

    HAHA! Great video, as always. It looks pretty perfect to me, but I get how you feel about wanting things to turn out how you want them to turn out. If those unmatched lines on the shorter panel continue to bother you, maybe you could paint dark lines, making it look as though the widths of the panel designs DO match. Just a thought. Love your videos. Your wife and daughter are both so lovely.

      It doesn’t have to be perfect… lol
      I might add more distressing to the walls a little later and that will hide it better. I have to test it out somewhere inconspicuous first to make sure I like it.

    Poor bargain bin Nick Fury. People just can't see what he can see, despite having only one eye. Now that I've seen the entire thing, I can appreciate the thought and time you had to put into it.
    Well done, bro. You always make stuff both interesting and educational. It's insane how resistant that stuff was but, in a way, I suppose that's good? Maybe it helps protect against water or mold.
    Thanks again for having me over. Had a great time and it was awesome to see your place in person. Looking forward to your visit, now!

      Two things that Japan lacks... good paint in a decent color and interesting wall paper. This country loves everything that is drab. It's too expensive to import.

    Another excellent and hilarious video. I finally moved into my own akiya (video on my channel of the walk-trhough) and I so feel the "always one more thing, and more tine." I am using that same scotch tape! You can see it all over the now broken frosted glass in the kitchen I managed to touch too hard, apparently. :/

    Спасибо, ваше видео мне подняло настроение а также придало уверенности. В этом месяце мне и мужу также предстоит начать ремонт двух японских домов которым более 100 лет. Идея выполнять ремонтные работы самостоятельно, но без строительного образования нужно смириться с мыслью, что не все сможет выглядеть идеально. И да, даже покрасить стену это тяжёлый труд :)

    If you flipped the whole panel the lines would have matched up, I think

    • @DIYJapan
      @DIYJapan  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Might seem that way but there are three sizes to the panel, you can see it clearly at 3:50 that there is the large panel on the left followed by small and then medium and another medium panel. The large part is almost the size of the two medium parts together. Flipped would have been worse.

    Lol, fun video! Those panels are definitely from outer space. Have had the same frustrating experiences. I also tried to put a kind of tsuchikabe over the panels and it did NOT work at all.

      I’m happy to hear I’m not the only one who thinks these panels are ridiculous! Trying to make tsushikabe stick these panels must have been like like trying to get oil to stick to water lol 😂
      They were made just to be themselves… not to be adapted lol At least pick a better color to make them in… I’m done complaining lol 😂

    I've been researching wildlife in rural Honshu. How much of a nuisance are wild boar, deer, monkeys and bears in your region? Do you go fishing? Are there dolphins and seals in the sea near you?

    • @DIYJapan
      @DIYJapan  หลายเดือนก่อน

      A huge nuisance. There is active trapping of deer, boar, monkeys and to lesser extend, bears, to reduce numbers in this region. They eat all our plants, crops and poop all over… not to mention scream blood murder in the middle of the night. Adventurous to say the least. Dolphins have been seen but no seals 🦭

      Hunting rules are weird here. Owning a gun for hunting is next to impossible. Here people use traps. Usually big cages with some sort of bait inside. I heard they just club the deer to death... not sure how true that is...
