Just a little tip on planting anything. You don't have to totally remove the entire bag from the plant, as this will sometimes loosen the whole original soil and stress the plant. Just make a few cuts around the bag and plant the whole thing together. This will ensure that the plant is still surrounded by the original soil. Thus no stress on the plant. The roots will make their way out through the few cuts you make.
I guess it's normal to make mistake along the way. What's important is learning from it and doing better next time. Cool playground for Thor, Jake and the rest, enjoying their freedom running around in open space. Yes, rain is coming! Good for the soil and plants. Thanks again for the update. Happy weekend, guys!
Mistakes are great teachers. They give you a great appreciation for your new floors and for the skilled tradesmen that do that job everyday. Also a good workout too. 🙂 You should wear rubber gloves because the grout and the chemical isn't too friend for your skin. Also, wipe the grout with enough water to clean it but not so much pressure to remove it. Clean the water bucket to avoid making your floors cloudy. (This comes from my own experience)
Do not economize when using the materials for your house. You will waste a lot of money and effort and will redo your work. Experience is the best teacher. Good luck and take your time. You will enjoy your lovely house slowly but surely.❤❤❤
Happy weekend Lovely Couple. Wow, Thor is strong like Jake, wide playground for dogs. Anyways, it's good that earlier you found the grout you used are not geniune...mistakes is a learning process. Still your house are almost finish. Now there's a storm coming, keep safe guys. Good you are planting fruit trees . Years to come you will sell them coz it will be a lot..for family use..it's too mych. Luckily you have a wide land to plant. See u again nxt updates guys.✌💖🐕🐕🐕
Thanks for sharing Finn and Sherlyn the mistakes that occur while building, it's a normal at least you were able to find ways to amend it...and that view is awesome.....
I saw numerous lighting near Kabangkalan area yesterday, Fri. May 24. I hope it rained good there. I would like to see a video during a heavy rain showing your rain catchment system, maybe the pool filling up and the whole place turning green again.
Grout mixed with water only is standard in the US as the water activities the additional chemicals to harden the grout properly, no additional hardener is required so I probably would have made the same mistake, now I know better. Having built/rebuilt 8 homes in the US I highly value your vlogs on you home building experience from solar power with an aircon battery room to the outstanding beautiful pool as well as the glass panels used to provide the exquisite view from inside your home. God Bless
I had a custom tile business here in the U.S. and have never had that issue mixing grout with water. Good thing you caught it early before you grouted the whole thing.
Seems the biggest thing you are learning, cheaper isn't always better, especially if you are building something. My dad always said if you buy cheap, you get cheap. Nice grouting job. Don't feel bad. The Ark was built by amateurs, the Titanic was built by professionals. You got this!
Your home is beautiful. I love the gigantic windows in the master bedroom. We always mix our grout using bottle water. I had grout mix fail when I mixed it using hard well water.
I love watching the development of your new place Finn and shirlyn. One day your will see the fruits of your labor enjoying lots of fruit trees and veggies. Having fish pond needs too much care and maintenance but worth it.
Finn & Shirlyn, use mask when doing construction of your house. The dust and chemical fumes are bad for your lungs. Also be careful with your pets. Take care.❤
As someone living in the City, i thought Rambutan is a vine😂 then my mother said, it was a big tree😂 Hilarious thought 🤔: in the city we act like we literally knows everything yet its not always the case😂
When you wipe your tile grout don't wipe with the tile gap wipe side to side or you just wipe it right out again you want it to be even with the tile so it dosen't collect dirt. Beautiful house take care
Hi Finn, may I suggest giving a good watering to the plants before transferring them from pot to garden….then of course water again after planting them. This will stop the soil from crumbling during the re-planting process…for the grouting, I thought there was a tool designed to remove it and in plastic so no scratching of tiles
Just wanted you two to know that I still watch your vlogs. Your house is beautiful. Sana all. I started watching you with your trip to Turkey I think. Long time ago.
Summer time the overhangs keep the house cool. In the winter time when the sun is low on the horizon the sun will heat your house. Reverse cycle heat pump could also use the heat from your to house to heat your pool in summer. Using cooling from the pool to cool the house. A heat exchanger.
poor brother in law working sweating that heat haha u home awesome looks really nice when u inviting us hehe we start our project 4 years ago everything done except the house well water get done 2 weeks time woohoo
Lesson learned, onwards and forward. I can't wait for the update post rain. Also glad rain 's coming. Hopefully the yellow turns to green again soon. Thor with the large tire is pretty insane. 😆 I wonder how long before he tears it apart! Jake's like, I'm too sophisticated to play with tires. 😅
Your family home is coming along nicely Finn and Sherlyn mistakes happen Finn at least you have rectified it happen every day in the construction but we get over it just like you have done well done i have been a Plumbing and Heating engineer for over 40 years in Britain I am a teacher in this industry aswell we still get mistakes today but we get over them well done to you both all the best from Michael ❤
Finn, I said you need to put some solar lights in your stairs going from your pool down to your backyard. You need to put some solar lights along your fence put some solar lights around your house. I know you got your solar lights on your roof. I get that but put some solar all around your house. Specially, the stairs at night time the lights the stairs up looks really sharp, I hope you have lights inside your pool
You need to remove the protection film from the sliding windows as soon as it is installed otherwise it will becomes harder and will leave stains of the window frames
You ,guys , are an inspiration! So young , yet, have accomplished great things in life like that awesome house you’re building in a perfect location! Bravo!!! Btw, what happens to your diving yacht? It’s been a long while since your last post on your diving expeditions.
its better if you have catch basin for the rain as your land is kinda slope and then probably purchase a filtering system or purify system for the water.. it would be helpful as you have a pool it would be water consuming i think knowing you have small pipes of your tap water and small supply
The contractor in the construction should be responsible for whatever materials to be use thats the point of getting their services . To help u and guide u on what sturdy materials u should buy
You got a pure breed Philippine dog... its a bit rare to find them now as some don't like them as they have ugly patern, and on some provinces, they call them a witch dog. I have them once. They are sweet and loyal dog contrary to what some believe
you could take a thick rope and connect to the tire. (only 50-70cm long with knots) make a hole in the tire and thread the rope trough, so the tire can still lie flat) and he can pull it. a rope thick like your wrist.or slightly slimmer.

Beautiful location…with the sea at the background, beautiful home! Well done!
I’m amazed at all the work being done you got some real craftsmen on the job kudos to them all👍

Love watching the dogs play. The house is coming along. You both are building a wonderful life. So happy for you
The house really coming along, can’t wait for completion of pool & do interior furnishing.

Finn, just change the handle of the shovel 👍🏼... Buy a new handle for the shovel 🤔
no need to buy there's so many bamboo their to replace the handle of the shovel✌✌✌
Finn, you will bounce back Brother!
Lesson learned, onwards and forward. I can't wait for the update post rain. Also glad rain 's coming. Hopefully the yellow turns to green again soon.

Have you thought of planting Mangosteen? You can purchase them already growing in Cebu. They are usually about 1 meter tall. Wonderful fruit.
Love Magosteen.
We have lots is mangosteen growing here in Leyte
I did plant one but it didn’t survive the heat…
Mangosteen is the healthiest fruit on the planet
@@FinnSnowVlogsFinn try again to plant mangosteen Please the fruit is very healthy even if the skin makes it a vitamin..very nutritious fruit
Nice structure, capt, almost there
Finn, I said you need to put some solar lights in your stairs going from your pool down to your backyard. You need to put some solar lights along your fence put some solar lights around your house.

more buying materials this is a big house keep up friend
Verygood planting a lot of fruit trees,in5 years maybe you habe enough fruits to harvest.
It is normal to mix the ABC grout with water (see the label).Evyerbody does that. But afterwards you put grout sealer to make it hard.
Sherlyn all your surrounding you plants with trees like narra tree rubber tree or manggo tree
I'm surprised the tilers didn't do the grout, or did you ask to do it? The house is looking beautiful
fin pagtanom mo fruit trees like RAMBUTAN, DURIAN, LANZONES AND MARANG pwede kaau na sa inyong lugar... God bless u fin and sherlyn
Finn. dont use grout in aluminum base floor. use Silicon Sealant. because. aluminum doors are moving . the grout will break easily
You can add some irrigation type by small trench downhill to sideways to save energy instead if going up and down to water your plants.
You need to remove the protection film from the sliding windows as soon as it is installed otherwise it will becomes harder and will leave stains of the window frames
hello finn,i am always watching your vlog because i love your dogs😆😆
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Next that is landscaping 🎉❤
Nice place.
Davao pomelo and guapple( large guava dat sometime weigh a kilo with small seeds as big as a marble ) would be nice toplant n ur land
watching here from Hongkong
*padayon lang*
No, not aluminium shovels, but steel shaft! Have one and it has lastet now for building our little house and still being used in gardening.
Yeah the wooden shaft ones here are rubbish. I finally found a long handled shovel.
oh NOOO!!!!!!! a powdery grout! thats tedious double work!!! good thing you’ve noticed earlier!
You ,guys , are an inspiration! So young , yet, have accomplished great things in life like that awesome house you’re building in a perfect location! Bravo!!! Btw, what happens to your diving yacht? It’s been a long while since your last post on your diving expeditions.
Soon! Been busy on it :)
If I visit Philippines when your house is ready, am I welcome to fly my fpv drone with you? 🥰 Great updates on your house construction!
One of the biggest lessons, I would say...small bumps along the way...brush if off...

Good job Thor hehehehe nice dog
citihardware a great store I didnt get time to look but will when we go back cebu like bunnings here awesome has everything u need
Your dog is weird he likes tires!🥰🤣❤you should start making vlogs for your dogs their beautiful.
its better if you have catch basin for the rain as your land is kinda slope and then probably purchase a filtering system or purify system for the water.. it would be helpful as you have a pool it would be water consuming i think knowing you have small pipes of your tap water and small supply
We have
We are getting close to tile time here at our house build. Wondering what grout did you use?
The contractor in the construction should be responsible for whatever materials to be use thats the point of getting their services . To help u and guide u on what sturdy materials u should buy
Shoutout kuya 😘😘😘
Do we now have some form or link where we can register for an opportunity to visit for a house tour soon? LOL 👍
The 2 middle slidingdoors should be on the inside. Thats the normal and correct way.. maybe you did it orherwice for a reason?
look up Dremel tool to easily mechanically remove grout without damaging your tiles
You got a pure breed Philippine dog... its a bit rare to find them now as some don't like them as they have ugly patern, and on some provinces, they call them a witch dog. I have them once. They are sweet and loyal dog contrary to what some believe
When grouting, wipe the joint at a 45 degree stroke, not in line with the tile joint.
Finn ,next time hire a experienced tile installer 🤭
11:15 that's heavy finn, better the small one that he can bite
finn you can change the handle
Thor.. OMG your gorgeous with your new toy 🐕🦺
Buy jackfruit trees in abuyog Leyte, the sweetest in d Philippines..
You have to special order EPOXY Grout for your swimming pool tiles!
i think THOR needs a Motorcyle tire. easy to carry for him. hahaha
U plant fire tree combine with yellow flowering trees good combination
Yay!!!
❤❤❤
I miss the boat videa or yate❤❤❤
I almost thought the pump house was the dog house... :)
Buy a grout 2 times the price of the local grout price then youll get the long last grout.
where did you get your eyeglass made?
Fruit of your own labor...
Add some cactus and dragon fruit, lol.
you could take a thick rope and connect to the tire. (only 50-70cm long with knots)
make a hole in the tire and thread the rope trough, so the tire can still lie flat) and he can pull it.
a rope thick like your wrist.or slightly slimmer.
Nice house guys weres the boat now or do u have another channel for that
Soon videos from that, been busy :)
@@FinnSnowVlogs rite on buddy take care
FINN...USE VINEGAR IN YOUR WATER TO CLEAN THE GROUT.
Do you need to put in filters for your rain harvesting system?
Cacao is one of the best fruit tree.whole year bearing fruits and the best variety in the world is in negros.
In the US we never grout our pool but we marcite it, last more than 15 years
When open some windows are hazardous
That's normal. No construction is without fails..... sometimes you lern if you do...
👍🙏❤️😎
just use ready to use grout next time
I always had bad luck with citi hardware
Mango tree is good strength give shades
