If you think about it from the stage of acquiring the factory land, we started around June 2023.
It’s only been about two years, but looking back, it feels like a very long time.

The factory construction process this time was incredibly challenging, but it was interesting.
For those considering building a garage or factory in the future,
I hope the blog information can be of some help. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the craftsmen’s enthusiasm, “I’d like to refine the floor coating a bit more,” <\/strong>so completion is one week away.
Due to electrical work, full completion will be at the end of May or early June. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So let me share what I saw yesterday.
*Since it was mostly meetings, there are fewer images. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to everyone’s support, we’ve hit 3 million yen (*\u00b4\u03c9\uff40*) <\/a><\/strong>Just a few days left.
*Thank you for your support today as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

RURAL GARAGE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A sister blog of Decoboco about moving to the countryside. We document garage construction, grass cutting, and daily life. <\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<\/a>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

First, “Is a hand-washing area in the restroom necessary?” <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Since the factory is brand new, even a single toilet requires careful consideration.
Basically, “easy to clean, simple, and highly expandable” <\/strong>items were selected. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The toilet we chose is “TOTO Purerest EX” CS400B–SH400BA-NW1 <\/strong>
Since talking about toilets gets lengthy, let’s meet again in the toilet edition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n


The most important consideration was easy cleaning! Plus affordable pricing!
And even better, as an expandable feature, “you can add a bidet seat later.” <\/span><\/strong>This is
what’s called “combination toilet seats.” <\/span><\/strong>Since there are many pattern options to choose from, ordering can be a bit tedious, so caution is needed.
Since it was owner-supplied, when I received the package, I thought,

“It’s this heavy!” <\/strong>And honestly, if you can replace it for this price, you’d want to do it at least once.

By the way, I just realized that toilet seat mounting pitch is surprisingly universal.

The toilet size is not too small, not too large\u2014a comfortable space <\/strong>to use.
Don’t you feel that a cramped toilet is a bit uncomfortable, and a spacious one feels a bit unsettling?

Our second-floor toilet at home is so spacious that it makes me feel uneasy.
I calculated these dimensions by subtracting from our home toilet.

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simple is best for the paper holder! TOTO YH405 <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I chose something with very simple design and function.
Changing toilet paper can be annoying with certain products, right?
And I really dislike those mysterious plastic products that are hard to clean.

I believe that nothing overly elaborate, with simple function and design, is best. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also had to choose the toilet exhaust fan.
What we selected this time is
Panasonic Pipe fan\/Auto operation (motion sensor) with continuous ventilation FY-08PFRY9VD <\/a><\/strong>

Basically,
items that aren’t too costly, have simple structure, and are easy to replace <\/strong>
\u2014I think simple construction is very good for everything. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Wow! The door stopper is magnetic!!!! <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A bit surprising, quite surprising actually. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Wide Space House HHK-6035 is 111 m\u00b2 (approximately 34 tsubo) <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It’s almost the same floor area as our current Tokyo shop.
However, this factory is slightly narrower but has more length and height, so it feels incredibly spacious.

It’s about 17 meters in a straight line, so that’s pretty good.
I think it’s just right\u2014not too large, not too small.
Since vehicles can drive straight in, “we can now work on cars indoors.” <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The color is “new navy” <\/span><\/strong>
I was really happy this color was released at just the right time.
It’s a slightly matte navy with a calm feel\u2014really nice.

By the way, we won’t put up a sign. <\/span><\/strong>
I think it’s good that you can’t tell from the outside what it is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n


<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exterior is an American fence (PC fence) <\/h2>\n\n\n\n


<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It’s a bit trendy, and I’m a bit embarrassed to say so, but…
after looking at various fences, the one I thought was best was “American fence.” <\/strong>
PC fence <\/a><\/strong>

Of course, since we had to think about the fence, it was an interesting opportunity to research.
In talking with the landscaping contractor,
“if the fence is too high, it looks like a prison,” <\/span><\/strong>
\u2014a very memorable comment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A point I noticed along the way.

I happened to notice that a large materials supplier
“had to make multiple turns when arriving by truck,” <\/strong>so I got the idea.
Just rounding off the corner a bit should make vehicle entry easier.
So having them round off the corner a bit was a great call!

I plan to do the same on the home side in the future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n



<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s so rural there were no utility poles, so we had one built <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

So now, a bit late, we ended up building it along the road.
By the way, if we couldn’t get electricity, that would have been a big problem <\/span><\/strong>anyway… <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, Tokyo Electric Power built it for free.
Since this is getting very long, I’ll continue in part 2. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to everyone’s support, we’ve hit 3 million yen (*\u00b4\u03c9\uff40*) <\/a><\/strong>Just a few days left.
