because I'm going to be giving it a makeover

and I'm so stoked because I have wanted to do this ever since I moved into this house

我非常興奮，因為自從我搬進這所房子，我就一直想這樣做。

but just have a really happy time the weather hasn't been nice

但只要有一個真正的快樂時光，天氣就不會很好。

but it is just starting to warm up here in Morioka and I thought it would be the perfect

但盛岡的天氣剛剛開始變暖，我認為這將是一個完美的機會。

time to make this into a cozy space that I can just relax and play Animal Crossing

是時候把這裡變成一個舒適的空間，讓我可以放鬆地玩《動物世界》。

or read a book or have a tea or something like that

或看書或喝茶或類似的東西

I did some shopping on IKEA which is actually a really great place for buying furniture in Japan

我在宜家買了一些東西，這實際上是在日本購買傢俱的一個非常好的地方。

they're quite affordable! I will have this huge pile of furniture in my living room

他們相當實惠!我的客廳裡會有這一大堆的傢俱

and we're gonna put it together today and make the space into something fun

我們今天要把它放在一起，把這個空間變成有趣的東西。

so let's get started!

所以讓我們開始吧!

all right so here is what we're working with

好了，這就是我們要處理的問題

it's quite a small space - this is the typical size of a balcony for a Japanese apartment

這是一個相當小的空間--這是日本公寓陽臺的典型尺寸。

they're really only used to hang laundry that's what I do

它們真的只用來掛衣服，我就是這麼做的。

using this pole here, and that's really all I use it for but it would be really

使用這根杆子，這確實是我使用它的全部目的，但它真的會是

cool if I could just squeeze some chairs in here and have a place to sit

如果我可以在這裡擠一些椅子，有一個地方可以坐，那就很酷了

so I really hope the chairs that I bought fit here! I'm kind of worried about that now

所以我真的希望我買的椅子適合這裡！我現在有點擔心這個問題。我現在有點擔心這個問題

looking at how small it is... but we'll see what we can do!

看看它有多小......但我們會看看我們能做什麼!

so here's my pile of Ikea furniture

所以這是我的一堆宜家傢俱

we've got two chairs here they're like reclining chairs, a table,

我們這裡有兩把椅子，它們就像躺椅，一張桌子。

a plant stand, bunch of really cute accessories, and my favourite part are

一個植物架，一堆非常可愛的配件，而我最喜歡的部分是

these wooden tiles that I'm going to redo this ugly cement floor with!

我準備用這些木磚來重新裝修這塊難看的水泥地板！"。

these alone should really improve the look of the space. so let's start off

僅僅這些就應該真正改善空間的外觀。 所以讓我們開始

with these and hopefully they're easy to put together! I've got a little helper

希望這些東西很容易就能拼湊起來我有一個小幫手

with me today! this is Purin, my friend mark's cat.

今天和我一起！這是Purin，我朋友Mark的貓。

when he's gonna be out at work for the day

當他要出去工作的那一天

he drops her off at my house so that I can take care of her

他把她送到我家裡，讓我照顧她。

you can help me! good girl. what's that? it's exciting!

你可以幫助我！好姑娘。 那是什麼？"很刺激！"。

So each one of these boxes of tiles comes with nine tiles and they are one square foot each

是以，每一盒瓷磚都有九塊瓷磚，每塊瓷磚是一平方英尺。

I figured I need about 27 so I got three boxes of them

我想我需要大約27個，所以我買了三盒。

I've been watching lots of videos of people installing these on YouTube

我一直在看YouTube上人們安裝這些東西的很多視頻

and they look quite simple. the only hard part is gonna be if I need to kind of

他們看起來很簡單。唯一困難的部分是，如果我需要一種

adjust the size. like if the final tile doesn't fit, I'm gonna somehow have to trim it

調整尺寸。比如說，如果最後的瓷磚不合適，我就會以某種方式來修剪它。

and all I've got are these crappy dollar-store scissors

而我只有這把蹩腳的一元店剪刀

so that could be a problem... but we'll deal with it when we get there.

所以這可能是一個問題......但我們到了那裡就會處理這個問題。

so the box came with instructions, they look very simple! All it says to do is to click the sides

所以盒子裡有說明，它們看起來非常簡單!所有它說要做的是點擊兩側的

of the tiles together and that's how they attach.

瓷磚一起，這就是它們的連接方式。

I'm going to try positioning them on the ground where I want them and snapping it together that way

我將嘗試在我想要的地方把它們放在地上，然後用這種方式把它們扣在一起。

Maybe that'll be easier. I think I got it! I kind of felt a snap.

也許那會更容易。我想我得到了！我想我得到了我有點感覺到啪的一聲。

It's not very satisfying, can't really tell if it's in there properly

這不是很令人滿意，真的無法判斷它是否在那裡正常。

The only thing with doing them in an alternating vertical/horizontal pattern

以垂直/水準模式交替進行的唯一問題是

is that when I get to the side here and I have to trim some, I'm gonna have to

是，當我到了這裡，我必須修剪一些，我將不得不

trim horizontally like this... and that is not possible with scissors so I'm

像這樣水準地修剪......而這是不可能用剪刀的，所以我

thinking maybe I will put them all in this direction

我想也許我會把它們都放在這個方向上

I'm taking a little break, this is not as easy as everybody made it out to be on YouTube!

我正在休息一下，這並不像大家在YouTube上說的那樣容易！"。

So keep that in mind if you're trying to put together this flooring for your balcony

是以，如果你想為你的陽臺組合這種地板，請記住這一點。

It doesn't snap together very easily. I find that I kind of have

它不太容易扣在一起。我發現，我有一種

to put my entire body weight on it to get it to snap together and even then

要把我整個身體的重量放在上面，才能把它扣在一起，即使如此

some of them aren't properly stuck into place and not to mention using these

其中一些沒有被正確地卡住，更不用說使用這些

shitty scissors to trim the edges that has not been a good idea.

用低劣的剪刀來修剪邊緣，這不是一個好主意。

The Daiso scissors do work but it's quite the struggle.

大創的剪刀確實有效，但它相當費勁。

I think the flooring is done!

我想，地板已經完成了!

I cannot for the life of me get this last corner to fit. I'll just put some

我不能讓這最後一個角落適合我的生活。我只是把一些

furniture over top of that. But overall turned out pretty nice!

在此基礎上的傢俱。但總的來說，效果還是不錯的

There is a bit of a gap here that I might fill in with some horizontal slats later, like

這裡有一點空隙，我以後可能會用一些水準板條來填補，比如說

I did here but for the moment I'm gonna leave it like this and start assembling

我在這裡做了，但目前我打算讓它像這樣，然後開始組裝。

the furniture! So I'm mainly worried that the chairs are not gonna fit outside on

傢俱!所以我主要擔心的是，這些椅子在外面放不下。

the balcony, so I'm gonna start with those. They're probably going to be the

陽臺，所以我將從這些開始。它們可能會成為

most difficult thing to put together too so let's get it over with!

這也是最難擺平的事情，所以讓我們把它擺平吧!

Well it looks like they're pretty much already assembled which is amazing!

好吧，看起來他們幾乎已經組裝好了，這很令人吃驚!

Maybe I don't even need to do anything that would be great

也許我甚至不需要做任何事情，那就太好了

So these chairs are actually a really neat design, you can and have it upright

是以，這些椅子實際上是一個非常整潔的設計，你可以並擁有它的直立性。

like that or you can just pull the arms like this and it reclines!

像這樣，或者你可以像這樣拉動手臂，它就可以躺下了!

That's so cool, I am so glad that it was already put together and I didn't need to build anything!

那太酷了，我很高興它已經被放在一起了，我不需要建造任何東西!

That's such a relief. Now for the moment of truth let's go see if it

這真讓人鬆了一口氣。 現在到了關鍵時刻，讓我們去看看它是否

fits on my tiny balcony! I would say that is a success. I've got one of the chairs

適合放在我的小陽臺上!我想說這是一個成功。我已經得到了其中一張椅子

on the balcony. I think there will be enough room for the table and another chair!

在陽臺上。我想有足夠的空間來擺放桌子和另一把椅子!

it is a miracle all three pieces of furniture fit on the balcony with enough

陽臺上的三件傢俱都能放得下是個奇蹟。

space to walk to the far chair. The only problem is there's no space left over

空間可以走到遠處的椅子上。唯一的問題是沒有剩餘的空間了

for the final thing that I purchased, which was a plant stand! I was gonna put

我買的最後一件東西，是一個植物架！我打算把它放在一個植物架上。我打算把

it in one of the corners and fill it with some really pretty plants but I can

在一個角落裡，用一些非常漂亮的植物填充它，但我可以

put one of the plants on the table for now. So let's do that!

暫時把其中一棵植物放在桌子上。所以我們就這麼做吧!

Oh wow that one is a lot bigger than I expected! Actually that'll look really cute in my bedroom

哦，哇，這個比我想象的要大得多!事實上，這在我的臥室裡看起來非常可愛。

So I'm not even mad. What are these?

所以我甚至沒有生氣。這些是什麼？

Hm. I didn't order those, they must just have come with the cushions for the seat

嗯。我沒有訂購這些東西，它們一定是與座位的墊子一起出現的。

That's cool! Oh this one's so cute it'll be perfect

Probably in my kitchen. I always get fake plants because one I travel a lot and if

可能是在我的廚房裡。我總是買假的植物，因為一是我經常旅行，二是如果

I'm not home for long periods of time they will probably die without water and

我長時間不在家，他們可能會在沒有水和水的情況下死去。

two because if I ever get my cats back, lots of plants are poisonous to them and

二是因為如果我把我的貓找回來，很多植物對它們是有毒的，而且

不要弄得像發臭和發黴。

I think we're all finished! I'm pretty happy with how it turned out! I'm only

我想我們都完成了!我對它的結果相當滿意!我只是

just a little bummed that I couldn't have the plant stand in the corner where

只是有點遺憾的是，我不能讓植物站在角落裡，在那裡

I was originally picturing it. I probably should have measured everything before

我原來是這樣想象的。我也許應該在測量所有東西之前
