2010 vs. 2024 Abandoned Japanese Farm House #Akiya

I live in one of the rainiest places in the world, Mountain View, Hawaii. Before you remove the roof, investigate all your options. If it’s not too badly rusted around the nails/screws, you can treat it with rust converter and simply patch it with the silver roofing tape. Then you can paint it with 2-3 layers of house paint afterwards. There are specialized roofing paints but even just some old paint someone is discarding will work. As long as it’s not too dehydrated, you can mix a bunch of old latex paints together and paint with that. Color is not so important as long as you can paint it on without having too many clumps. If there are clumps, you can run it through a sieve. Using a paint sprayer is also a good idea. Can make the process faster. If that’s too expensive, be sure to bag your brushes and rollers in individual bags between uses and store in the fridge or cool dark spot if it’s too hot 🥵. Paint has been designed to dry out quickly so covering brushes and making sure lids are secure between painting sessions will save you lots of cleanup and paint wastage.

Oh my goodness what a wonderful place thank you for doing it and renovating it and taking care of their items I'm sorry these people are gone and their lives are changed but you're going to make a world of difference

You seem like such a good dude, thanks for this wholesome content

[gera.w]

beautiful house 😊 teach us how to find beautiful abandoned homes worth salvaging and estimated trash disposal and renovation costs too

[lmrandlette]

I’m trying to imagine what the community of people in the vicinity is like?! If so many places are being abandoned in rural areas, the remaining residents may not welcome new people, especially non-locals or foreigners. And how are infrastructure and social services supported?

Yeah like mentioned thats looks like solar boiler.
If there are pipes its water heating if there are cables if photovoltaic. Stuff like photovoltaic vater boiler exist but that thing is too old.(there are many combinations that exist too). Solar water heaters are fantastic way to cut power cost side from photovoltaic.
ED: If you see cables from panes bether not touch them.

Buying a house in 2024: I have 15k

USA: Perfect that will cover 1 year of rent.

Japan: Here's a farmhouse with acreage and a seaside view. Did we mention it comes furnished?

[xiaoka]

Looks like a solar water heater. Not electricity generation.

Is that a one peace trading card I used to collect them and the Naruto ones back in the day 😂😊

[stuartclayton]

Can you sell any of the old stuff? Does it have any value? If you sell it off, maybe you could offset the renovation cost?

[zuhaibali]

If there's anything valuable, can ya guys sell them for money, some to be spent on renovation and most donated to those anime industries after they're usually in bad shape?

Just that they can be untidy and all

[katfox]

But why did they abandon the house and everything inside? Did they pass away?

[parsival]

Oh wow!! Did I just see One Piece cards! Please, let me know if you’re getting rid of those, I’m currently watching through the series actually. Didn’t even know they had those

[hofft]

Maybe the item as can be burned over time in a bon fire

[rachelrecycles]

Can you rent a dumpster in Japan, or do you have to haul it all to a dump?

[vinayakghadge]

But I don't think you can resell these houses.
