    I have some similar plans, but probably smaller scale. I plan on having a centralized hwt, is that what you have or smaller tanks for each bath and laundry? I also plan to do interior construction with aluminum studs and sheetrock to make moving outlets a lot easier. Plus, I don't want to hammer drill anytime I want to attach something to the wall. Are you going to mount tge aircon condensers in the attic space? That is my plan, I don't like the look of the condensers on the outside. What is your plan for insulating/ventilating attic space? You also could have installed hwt in attic to free up floor space. Great video. Thanks for sharing.

      Each room with have it's own water heater. Instant heat, no tanks. The condensers will be mounted outside but I'm places not obvious. The soffits will be perforated and there are 8 roof vents at the top of the roof. Thanks.

    I have same thing, long side window,we had glass guy get someone to paint beautiful flowers and birds on the inside so light came in but hard to see outside looking in,,also have decorative bars on the inside so no one can break glass and reach in and open door also we have dead bolt needs key to open on both sides of the door,,just a thought,,😊

      I hate the look of bars on windows. I plan to do a shutter system that can close and lock if going to be away from house for extended period of time. Other than that, family will keep an eye out if it's just a quick grocery trip.

      @KevinParent248 Yes Sister-in-laws and nephew sent lots of videos so I see the construction but we're were not able to get out and select materials However we shipped kitchen and couch appliances. Anyway due to pandemic shops in Cebu hand no stock

    I think you can use the corner, but I would center the tiles in the hallway so you would not have a cut on one side put cuts on both sides

    • @KevinParent248
      @KevinParent248  11 дней назад +2

      Thanks for the help. The hallway tiles will have full tiles across. At least that's my memory from when we did a quick layout.

    Roughly what do you think total cost would be in American dollars, how many total square feet of house

    • @KevinParent248
      @KevinParent248  4 дня назад +1

      Not including the land should come in around something just over $200,000. The square foot is just over 3000 SQ ft plus the car port. Thanks.

    hello,
    your wife's house looks wonderful
    i have a few comments ...
    i am not sure why you need a dryer in the Philippines ... better for your health to dry them under the sun or on the garage area ... better for the cloths too, cause the dryer eats the cloths fast ...
    the tiles for the bathrooms ... hmmmm it looks like bathroom in the subway area ...
    the little corner shelves in the bathrooms ... why don't you make a long shelve from one corner to the other and maybe 4 or 6in wide
    the doors are wooden ... did you treat them for termites ... but from all sides before you install them ??
    do you make the fence with cheap materials and maybe 1x4x5 mix ?? or what ??
    stay healthy
    stay cool
