去年的房子。

It's extremely rare in Japan to live in such a large house at her age especially alone but it's for a good reason.

在日本，在她這個年齡住在這麼大的房子裡是極其罕見的，尤其是獨自一人，但這是有原因的。

It doubles as her office and a storage facility for her business.

它既是她的辦公室，也是她的業務的存儲設施。

Soon though she'll be renovating the entire space to use only as an office.

埃迪是一名經驗豐富的英文木匠，每天都在不知疲倦地工作，對在大阪這裡為自己創造未來抱有強烈的熱情。

But being a carpenter wasn't always her dream.

但成為一名木匠並不總是她的夢想。

We'll get into that in just a sec.

我們稍後將討論這個問題。

But for now let's see what she eats to start her typical morning I guess she's eating yogurt with nuts, banana and topped with honey that's healthy.

但現在讓我們看看她吃什麼來開始她典型的早晨，我猜她在吃酸奶加堅果、香蕉，再加上蜂蜜，這很健康。

Do you always eat brown bananas?

你總是吃棕色的香蕉嗎？

So Eddie originally wanted to become a nutritionist.

所以艾迪原本想成為一名營養師。

So she enrolled in a specialized high school but her dreams would come crashing down when her teacher told her that she could never become nutritionist due to her at to be devastated.

是以，她進入了一所專門的高中，但當她的老師告訴她，由於她不可能成為營養師，她的夢想將轟然倒塌。

She dropped out which led to a severe depression where she couldn't leave her house for months.

她退學了，這導致她患上了嚴重的抑鬱症，幾個月都不能離開家。

Finally one day her father who works in construction made her come to the construction site which ultimately changed the course of her life.

終於有一天，她從事建築工作的父親讓她來到建築工地，這最終改變了她的生活軌跡。

Oh it looks like he started work already.

哦，看起來他已經開始工作了。

What are you doing now?

你現在在做什麼？

She recently started her own carpentry company called, which mainly renovates stores and houses, it's her sole responsibility to take care of the administrative tasks like project planning, resourcing and preparing codes for clients.

她最近成立了自己的木工公司，主要是裝修商店和房屋，她獨自負責處理行政工作，如項目規劃、資源配置和為客戶準備代碼。

So what's most important when running a carpentry business in Japan, only 3.9% of the population and our business owners and Eddie is one of them.

是以，在日本經營木工生意時，什麼是最重要的，只有3.9%的人和我們的企業主，艾迪就是其中之一。

So when she's not working at the construction site, she has to be able to quickly refocus her energy on the business side of things such as HR marketing and so on in order to keep her company running.

是以，當她不在建築工地工作時，她必須能夠迅速將精力重新集中在業務方面，如人力資源營銷等等，以維持公司的運作。

Good morning y'all we are back with another day of life this morning has been a little bit crazy.

早上好，我們又回到了新的一天，今天早上的生活有點瘋狂。

Did you sleep well last night today Eddie's going to the construction site with their team which is slowly growing all of them employees plus one contractor, the team usually ride together from the office so until they arrived she loads the van tools and supplies as much as possible to not waste time In Japan these days.

你昨晚睡得好嗎？今天，艾迪要和他們的團隊一起去建築工地，他們都是員工，外加一個承包商，團隊通常從辦公室一起出發，所以在他們到達之前，她儘可能多地把工具和用品裝上貨車，以免在日本浪費時間。

A number of carpenters have significantly decreased by half compared to 20 years ago and currently 40% of all carpenters are over the age of 60.

與20年前相比，木匠的數量明顯減少了一半，目前所有木匠中有40%的人年齡超過了60歲。

It's become a serious concern in Japan.

這已經成為日本的一個嚴重問題。

But Eddie, unlike the younger generation, avoiding the industry wants to help spread her joy of carpentry to those around her declines ever by their own materials.

但艾迪與年輕一代不同，避開了行業希望幫助她將木工的樂趣傳播給周圍的人，她拒絕了曾經由自己的材料。

Ah that makes sense.

啊，這有道理。

Oh here comes the workers, that's a designer and her intern now that all the workers are here, they have a quick meeting and then get the day started.

哦，工人們來了，那是一個設計師和她的實習生，現在所有的工人都來了，他們開了一個快速會議，然後開始了一天的工作。

我猜他們到得有點早。

Are you buying something?

你在買東西嗎？

Hey what are you wearing?

嘿，你穿的是什麼？

It's extremely popular for construction workers to wear in Japan since many sites don't have a c, it blows air into the jacket powered by an all day battery.

在日本，由於許多工地沒有空調，所以建築工人非常喜歡穿這種衣服，它通過全天的電池向夾克中吹氣。

Does it really work?

它真的有用嗎？

Okay, the lumber yard dealers here.

好的，這裡的木材場經銷商。

So in Japan professional carpenters often prefer to purchase materials at a lumberyard compared to home centers.

是以，在日本，與家庭中心相比，專業木匠往往更喜歡在木材廠購買材料。

She says that the quality is completely different.

她說，品質是完全不同的。

For example, milled lumber at home centers are sometimes warp while the lumber dealers can usually offer a higher end and more consistent lumber.

例如，家居中心的碾壓木材有時會出現翹曲，而木材經銷商通常可以提供更高端、更穩定的木材。

Apparently though Japan has been facing a drastic increase in price for imported lumber the last couple of years as its overall supply decreases.

顯然，雖然日本在過去幾年中一直面臨著進口木材價格的急劇上升，因為其總體供應量減少了。

While certain types of lumber are no longer available at this point, both lumberyard dealers and construction companies are feeling the crunch.

雖然目前某些類型的木材已不再供應，但木材廠的經銷商和建築公司都感受到了緊縮。

那麼，翻新這些東西需要多少錢呢？

How about only the floor?

只有地板怎麼樣？

The team breaks up into two groups, want to unload the van and the other to prepare the site.

團隊抽成兩組，想卸下貨車，另一組準備場地。

In Japan.

在日本。

It's critical that the areas surrounding the construction are returned undamaged.

至關重要的是，建築周圍的區域要無損返回。

So the team will take extra care to install yoho protective coverings like foam boards and plastic sheets so the walls and floors don't get scratched and debris doesn't travel outside of the construction area.

是以，該團隊將格外注意安裝喲嗬保護性覆蓋物，如泡沫板和塑料板，以便牆壁和地板不會被刮傷，碎片不會流到施工區域之外。

Now that the site prep is complete.

現在，現場準備工作已經完成。

Eddie has a short meeting with her team to review the task for the day as well as to perform a quick safety check soon followed by roger So a routine Japanese warmup calisthenics executed to music in unison.

埃迪與她的團隊開了個短會，回顧了當天的任務，並進行了快速的安全檢查，隨後羅傑就開始了例行的日本熱身體操，並在音樂中統一執行。

所有這些都是為了讓團隊集中精力，因為對埃迪來說，按時向客戶交付項目，同時讓她的團隊儘可能有效和安全地工作是至關重要的。

Now it's time to get to work and the first task is to dismantle the existing insulation is everything okay?

現在是時候開始工作了，第一個任務是拆除現有的絕緣材料，一切都還好嗎？

I guess you need to estimate this work in her planning as well.

我想你也需要在她的規劃中估計這項工作。

So Eddie's team is mainly made up of female carpenters, which is extremely rare as women make up only 4.2% of all carpenters in Japan being such a minority?

是以，埃迪的團隊主要由女木匠組成，這是極其罕見的，因為在日本，女性只佔所有木匠的4.2%，是一個少數民族？

Eddie experienced first hand many of the challenges working in a male dominated industry.

埃迪親身經歷了在一個男性主導的行業工作的許多挑戰。

So when she formed her company, she knew that she wanted to create a safe and comfortable working environment for everyone, including women, didn't need a jacket today.

是以，當她成立自己的公司時，她知道她想為每個人創造一個安全和舒適的工作環境，包括女性，今天不需要一件夾克。

Huh?

嗯？

There you go.

你去吧。

Just like in sync all broken up.

就像在同步的情況下都被打散了。

Yeah, lunchtime.

是的，午餐時間。

The team decided to go to a nearby restaurant to grab a quick lunch in Japan.

隊員們決定去附近的一家餐館，在日本吃一頓快餐。

It's common for workers including construction workers to eat food from the convening as it's quick, easy and affordable.

包括建築工人在內的工人吃召集的食物是很常見的，因為它快速、方便、實惠。

But Eddie prefers to eat at restaurants with the team as she feels it's a bit more well balanced and it also helps develop a stronger bond with a group as they're able to share parts of their personal life with each other.

但艾迪更喜歡和團隊一起在餐館吃飯，因為她覺得這樣更平衡一些，而且這也有助於與團隊建立更牢固的聯繫，因為他們能夠相互分享他們個人生活的一部分。

I guess he's having the dingy fried chicken set lunch.

我猜他正在吃喧鬧的炸雞套餐午餐。

It looks good.

它看起來不錯。

Oh Eddie's paying for everyone.

哦，埃迪在為每個人買單。

You hoist now that the team has refilled, it's time for them to complete today's job.

你的吊車現在隊伍已經補充完畢，是時候讓他們完成今天的工作了。

I love you here, they're marking the level for the new floor.

我喜歡你在這裡，他們正在為新地板標出水平線。

So it looks like these three are gonna be working here for just a little bit longer.

所以看起來這三個人要在這裡再工作一段時間。

So while they're doing that, let's go over there and see what everyone else is doing.

是以，當他們在做這個的時候，讓我們去那邊看看其他人在做什麼。

Oh the designers working on something.

哦，設計師們在做什麼。

這有什麼了不起？

They're using, assume it's a bow japanese ink liner to create a straight line japanese.

他們在使用，假設是弓形日本墨線來創造直線日本。

Carpenters have been using this tool for more than 1400 years.

木匠使用這種工具已有1400多年的歷史。

But as new technologies such as line laser levels are becoming more popular, it's becoming less used, what's going on now, I'm sure this happens a lot.

但隨著新技術如線型脈衝光水平儀的普及，它的使用越來越少，現在是什麼情況，我相信這種情況很多。

So Eddie has been working as a carpenter now for seven years which has helped to develop and build confidence in her carpentry skills, but it wasn't always like this.

是以，埃迪現在已經做了七年的木匠工作，這有助於發展和建立對她的木匠技能的信心，但它並不總是這樣。

The beginning of her career was exceptionally challenging.

她職業生涯的開始是異常具有挑戰性的。

She says that she was ridiculed by her male coworkers and even customers would request to talk to male workers instead of her.

她說，她被男同事嘲笑，甚至顧客也會要求與男工而不是她交談。

When they had questions about the project, she was deeply frustrated, believe that it was all because she was a woman.

當他們對這個項目有疑問時，她深感沮喪，認為這都是因為她是個女人。

But over time she came to realize that it was more to do with her lack of skill and experience not knowing how to properly use tools or perform installations and clients didn't want to speak to her simply because she was uncertain of her answers to say the least.

但隨著時間的推移，她逐漸意識到，這更多地是由於她缺乏技術和經驗，不知道如何正確使用工具或進行安裝，客戶不願意和她說話，只是因為她的答案至少是不確定的。

It wasn't easy for her, but she persevered and now has her own company with dedicated employees to show for it.

這對她來說並不容易，但她堅持了下來，現在有了自己的公司，有了敬業的員工。

Time for a short break.

該是短暫休息的時候了。

Oh they're doing.

哦，他們正在做。

Oh Toko junk in rock paper scissors to decide who pays for everyone.
