First, your sound levels were quite good! Please be careful with chemical treatment of the grounds, especially because of lotus pond where the runoff would go. It is also probably not good for cats and other animals. It was amazing the transformation after you removed some trees and cleaned out the overgrowth. My wife and I think a yellow-gold color would set off your house well. We always enjoy your vids but feel worn out just watching you guys working so hard :-)
Etherdog, thank you for the message! We didn't paint the house yellow / gold but ... We have since bought that exact colour to add some finishing touches! Great minds think alike hey! I did lock Keko up inside before starting spraying and didn't let him out for a few a days after 🙏
There is something very beautiful and pastoral about the view from Keko's room. Love the Plum tree hopefully you can get enough plums to make umeshu one day!
It's been a very long wait for the next instalment of your adventures! :D Also, good idea to remove that palm tree. We've got exact same ones here in Sydney and if left untouched, they can and WILL get completely out of hand. When you have time, may I suggest that you dig out big root of that palm tree ? It will otherwise start growing again.
Thanks for the overhead panoramic view of the area. It gave a good perspective of the neigborhood and how close the lake is. Clearing brush and trees is hard work. You just have to keep up with the weeding every day. Weeds are called weeds because you do not want them, and they grow so fast!!
Nice progress on the yard clean-up. Once your greenery gets going, you really have to stay on top of it to keep it under control. Sometimes, less is really more! Keep up the great work.
Love your house and posts.Most Japanese houses are painted in neutrals with browns and charcoals.Nice but quite bland.How about mixing some panels of fluro oranges,pinks,limes and mustards.Or doing the main house in traditional neutrals and Ichi's studio outhouse in electric blue.I'm sure Ichy will have some good ideas.
Omg Brent you've read our mind! We've already bought some bright yellow paint with a plan to jazz up the side of the house! This will go on top of the colour we have already painted it and which will be revealed in the next episode!
Front garden landscape is beautiful with those tree except the Beach tree is gone bohoooo!!!!! if you just have done some research it would have being a bountiful supply during season, but now you really need a glass trimmer to do the job, happy gardening or clearing the bush, true the best view of the house is the upstage room with those window, I would connected the two house with glass passage & make a pond between the house that can't be view from outside for privacy that is another project.
Brian that sounds amazing!! I'm not sure it would fit into our budget though 😅 if anyone would like to give us a glass passage we will very happily install it!
hey there greetings from germany! i have a lot of questions about these types of homes and the process of buying them etc. i would be really happy to talk with you guys. i recently became aware if these "akyia" houses and stuff. anyway i hope you guys can make a great home out of it and your budget won't be strained too much👍🏻

Love seeing you back. Trees are looking good.
Thanks Jean!
Very hard work! Wow! But as usual, Keko is just walking around to check if everything is ok! 😀👍
Always!
That pretty purple plant is commonly called "purple dead nettle" and in the rural USA it is sometimes added to fresh spring salads as a garnish.
Thanks Bethany! If it comes back I will use it for that too. Gorgeous!
Must have been so satisfying to clear out that landscape.
So so satisfying!
Love a good brush and yard cleaning up. Its a good feeling reclaiming your outdoor space.
It's so satisfying!
This is such difficult work but it'll be sooooo worth it when everything is finally finished.
Thanks Busta Nut, I hope so!

Jack we did! The umeshu is still brewing!
I think you may paint 🎨 the house cream! This was a great video. Love from England xx
Thanks Catherine! Good guess... Are you right though? New video coming soon!
My guess is some shade of blue. Thanks for the video. I've been enjoying them from where I live in Colorado, USA.
Thanks so much JRS! Good guess too!

Tim we will definitely do that! In fact we removed 3 or 4 palm trees so we need to dig out all of the roots!
@@KonnichiwaChannel1 Nice one! Be prepared to dig quite a bit of a hole. Oh and they are quite heavy too. Don't ask me how I know all that! :(
@@trizvanov hahaha sounds like a bad memory Tim!
@@KonnichiwaChannel1 Don't get me started on people, who plant palm trees in their backyards. :D

Very welcome! The lake is so close. I love the fact it's only fields between us and the lake 😍
Nice one! 😀👍
Thank you!
Looks great! looking forward to more and more videos :)
Thanks Murry!

Deborah you are so right! After tidying up it's been very hard to keep on top of.
So excited for a new video! 😍 Definitely looks like it will take some time to tame the garden, but you're well on your way! Made some great progress!
Thanks Freja! Hope you had a nice Xmas and new year in Korea!
nice house paint the house shed bright colours
We like your thinking Ian!
Mmmm blue is the first thing that popped in mind. We’ll see!
You will see! New video coming soon Rhodes!

Thanks so much Futurelink. We're still hoping to keep it within budget.. a slightly increased budget 😅
@@KonnichiwaChannel1 i thought so. there's always some hidden stuff that reveals itself later on
@@futurelink1638 ain't that the truth!
I'm going to guess cream or a light colour. to bounce back those pesky rays during the height of summer
Nice guess Kuda... You'll have to watch the next episode to see if your right...
wouldn't it be easier to use a wood chipper to chop all the branches up and use it in your garden area?
Yes!! we were also thinking that but we couldn't get one.
