    Holy cow what an undertaking! So impressed Anton! It was surprising to see the wall "insulation", the termites, how much light the place has when the floor is opened up. To maintain the discipline and interest to dyi all of it for a year (to say nothing of the bureaucracy part!), remarkable.

    I'm not a professional home builder but I do know some houses need a crawl space underneath like that is open to allow underfloor wiring, airflow and drainage. Additionally a solid slab of concrete isn't usually a good idea in places that get a lot of earthquake activity because it could crack.

Ideally, I'd like to renovate some houses near the beach and rent them out as guesthouses. There's not a lot of them out here, which is surprising considering how packed it gets during on-season,.

    Hi Anton, it’s true about all the comments, you have to show the final result of your renovation. And also, the question about how much did you spend on throwing all the trash as you said it was expensive and cost 15k, but you didn’t follow up on how much did you spend in total, as well the the final cost of the house after renovation and if you ever put it in the market, how much would you sell it for.

    Youre right- traditional insulation is like grout and aluminum (super messy as we saw) and the floorboards are prone to rotting from the space below from either water damage or termites. Then, the structure has to meet the standards for earthquake resistance. Their houses depreciate in value partly because they’re so hard to renovate.

    Oh.... oh no... I mean renovating the bones was wonderful but then this final product.. one of those times where could and should are very different. The house was old but charming. The new look... I'm sorry I don't like it. Originally there was a great sense of coziness and sunlight that is just gone. The hose looks barren, or still very much under renovation. A lot of space is lost but for what? Seven meter ceilings that Japanese people do not need? Subdivided space was redesigned but.. to have tiny bedrooms and giant common space areas? And other bedrooms are now without walls? It's a bit of a mess and a no for me.. there was a reason as to why the areas were subdivided the way they were and why tiny bedrooms are not a great idea in a hot and humid country like Japan. I understand why it's a good idea in Sweden - easier to heat up in a very long cold winter maybe? The choice of the colours.. also could be done better. Overall feeling for me is that a warm cozy home was turned into a somewhat barren unwelcoming airbnb.. sorry. I know you worked very hard but the final vision is just a big bo from me❤
