In this video, we do a short technical walk-through of some of the features of this latest Japanese - American House Build. We wanted to film this video to show some of the things that are often overlooked and sometimes asked about. We would suggest that not everything shown in this video is how it should be done, but what is shown is how it was done.
We recommend to use the information in this video as reference, but always follow your local building codes and regulations.
Much of a Japanese house is based on accuracy. The carpenters in Japan strive to get better and more precise with their work. This is evident in the structures that are built daily all throughout Japan. It is a labor intensive love affair that carpenters have with wood, but once a project is completed there is a great sense of satisfaction.
Looking at this house you will see a lot of beautiful and precise details that may (or may not) be overlooked by the average person. These details come in the form of the concrete foundations, the threaded rod placements for the hold downs, the joinery throughout the house, and the forward thinking for other features of the house like the doors and windows. There are a lot of moving parts in a house build like this.
We hope you enjoy this video. Stay tuned for more from the Carpentry Life.
