    Like I keep saying , the base units (Delta Pros) are fairly good (only have been through a couple of these). The Extra batteries have been rock solid. The problems I've had have been mostly with the peripheral devices. Going through 4 SHPs is nuts and the biggest gripe has been that it doesn't failover to grid, it completely dies, if the SHP goes down. I had to rewire my my setup, early in the morning, when the latest one died. That was the last straw. Since moving to a manually switched panel, everything has worked very well. Sure, I don't have the timing control and options of a smart panel, but it is reliable! I honestly believe that the two DPs problems I had might have been caused by the SHPs dying.

    I have been following your project. It's different from others I have seen in the Philippines. One suggestion you might consider is to run an independent water source for all your toilets only. Allow the line to switch from city water to an alternative water source such as a rain water encashment reservoir. This is in case there is low to no water from the city source. At this stage of your built, I am not sure whether it is too late.

    • @torino2610
      @torino2610 15 дней назад

      That's a good suggestion, though we won't be using city water at all as they are unreliable and we are so remote they will probably never provide service up here. But, as you suggest, we will have the deep well as primary and river water as backup.

    if you do use a tank type water heater you can always add a top mounted recirculating pump and have a bypass valve under the sink at the far end and it will push the hot water (that has cools down ) back to the tank using the cold line as a return line .. this is assuming you dont have a dedicated return line to the water heater .. i plan on using a solar water heater and a tempering valve tied into the cold so i dont burn anything vital .. the solar tanks are gravity fed so if youhave a cold water pump you will need a pump on the output side of the solar tank ( with a pressure switch set at the same as the cold pump switch settings ) google grundfos comfort pump up15-10 is the model i believe . but it is 120 v.

    Concrete inside steel framing, interesting. Steel frames and truss is nothing new to me but filling the walls with concrete is. Why did you choose that method. As you mentioned in a previous video you really need to be on top of the slump of the concrete and watch the vibrator operator very closely. When I was building fence of concrete posts and steel panel infills, I upset my guys when I asked them not to make the concrete like water. I have vast experience with concrete and didn't want weak concrete. I'm still confused as to why you are filling the walls with concrete and not an insulation. I started out as a bricklayer then mason on to being a builder, so I am very jealous of you access to large stones. I would love to do some creative landscaping with them. Nice to see something new other than blocks (hand rubble) or traditional (western style) formed concrete house construction. P.S. What are you planning for an external coating? Are you going to skim coat the internal walls?

    • @torino2610
      @torino2610 Месяц назад

      Insulation in walls is rarely used here, I haven't seen it anywhere, perhaps in specialized buildings. CHB and poured in place is the norm here in the Philippines. I too try to convince the crew to use less water but it's a battle. The Metalyte team says they will skim coat the walls with tape similar to a drywall finish and use interior and exterior paint.

    I've mentioned, I was in the Floorlayer's Union, here in St. Louis, for 35 years. We were almost always the last ones in, but I've been around enough & gone through enough blueprints, to have a pretty good take on what's going on, as you do your walk through & descriptions. The 2 dimensional limitations make a bit confusing, just because depth perception on the early layout, leave a lot to be desired, to put things into accurate concept...That said, now that walls are going up, it's much easier to get a grip on everything's functionality..... I traveled for 13 - 14 years installing artificial turf in Sports Venues. It was there that I really came to terms with layout & how absolutely vital that is, to issues such as electrical & plumbing (but in our case, it was center logos, end zone lettering & hash marks & multi sport event, field lines layouts)... There's a lot to be said about, walking to a plot of ground, and precisely measuring every stake, and routing every underground utility, so it's is in its exacting position, both coming in & going out, before the first pour of any footing. It's complicated & can be stressful, just because mistakes can be very costly... My hat goes off to You for sharing all of your building experience...it's going to help Dinz & myself when we start making our plans to build... My only question is...I get that there is rebar running both vertically & horizontally, but when they pour a wall, and stop at intermittent levels, & then they pour again, doesn't that create a weakened section of the wall, at each stop & start point ? ..... I've worked with concrete backer boards, and I was taught to "flat trowel" our cement mortar, into the backer board & then trowel the "tooth" side, which is supposed to add 60% more strength to the bond, of the tiles, we would then set into the grooves of the troweled substraight......I'm not questioning the legitimacy of the entire process, I'm not an engineer. I'm just asking out of my own training, and my understanding of layered concrete...

      Thanks for the detailed comment. I can see there is no tooth or groove between each section because of the metalyte longitudinal form that they end on. My limited understanding of cold joints is that they might occur if we interrupted the pour of a section and then finished it after the previously poured amount had begun to set, especially if the incomplete pour was uneven, like a diagonal slump inside the wall, that would ruin the compression feature of the wall. It seems that the Metalyte guys have found that each section is the max height to go before a blowout could occur and the need to let it set before continuing the next section. I'll ask Metalyte this question to see what they say. Thanks.

      @torino2610 You won't have teeth marks or trowel ridges...That would only come into play when installing ceramic, marble, granite or like tiles (sorry about that confusion....It sounds like they have it figured out........my concern is simply the newer pour, on top of a dry, previous pour...concrete will undoubtedly stick to concrete, but under (heavy) stress, that seam line would be the weakest point...but they know 100 x"s about what they're doing, than I do

      It wont matter much since the columns and beams hold most of the weight. None of the walls are load bearing. Structurally, those concrete walls are still leagues and leagues better than drywall that you find in most US homes.
