    Hello Greg, Thank you for the content of these house builds, Love the way you point out the details of how things go together, like the drain for the AC that is on the inside of the house , The details are everything.

      They are mixing cement with one gas-powered mixer. They are making saw cuts in the driveway, but didn't see them on the patio. Maybe because they are tiling that area. Sandy is a good girl.

    Thanks for the neighbor's house update. That is a HUUUUUGGE house! 😲 My new house would fit inside the sala and master bedroom! 😲
    We have had 2 power interruptions since we moved to Pampanga in mid-June. One was lightning hitting the transformer next door!
    Power in the bigger cities is pretty reliable.

      They have 2 septic tanks, one on each side of the home.

    • @victoramor
      @victoramor 7 дней назад

      If you have two septic tanks in a household with only two persons, don’t you think one or both of the septic tanks will be underutilized in such a way that not all compartments will be filled with waste water. And if this is so, I think it will affect the process provided by the anaerobic bacteria that is essential in the breakdown of the materials coming in to the septic tank.

    @Filipinolife 18 дней назад

    Why is the master bedroom suite and bathroom so small especially the bedroom what a fantastic view and what I don’t understand is when you’re building a house why do you want to enter into the living room? I think a front hall is so much more appropriate and actually if you leave your doors open, you don’t get as much other particulars in the air blown by the wind into the main house, but the view is spectacular and the design of the house is comfortable
