By far one of the best Philippines house build discussions/explanations. Keep up the great video. One question, your guest was chatting with his French neighbor, Bryce, and a free home design application/program was mentioned. Would you be able to share what that program is? Thanks again. 👍🏻
A bad thing about the "DROP" ceilings that they do in the Philippines is that it's completely connected to the trusses. When the wind hits your roof this entire truss system will no doubt flex and shift and sway a little bit, which causes the "DROP° ceiling grid system to also flex. This causes the cement board to crack/separate at the seams and around the ceiling perimeter where the ceiling meets the walls. Trust me, my house in Pampanga had this happen to it. I'd build an entire separate ceiling grid that was independent of the trusses and have it attached only on top of the exterior and interior walls.
no hes not, hes just learned by the seat of his pants, like any smart dude can due! its actually half assed for most western people, but the Filippinos and buyers have no clue of reality or construction, its decent & exceptibal for the price you pay! 60k$ no problem.
Great video. I just got back from Cebu a couple of months ago and I will be returning in a couple of weeks to start my journey of purchasing land and building a house/farm. I hope to be where you are at right now in about six months. I'm still debating on the exact location whether it being outside of Manila or in Cebu. I'd love to meet up with you and Mike at some point.
Hey your reply is Bullshit, I was talking about the blocks,To use 4inch blocks is a bad way of building a house,if you think laying 4” blocks and filling them with mud makes a strong wall you are wrong,Plus them blocks are junk fall apart,to make them you should only get 30 blocks to a batch of mud not 70 to 90, now you bring it up about water, I have had that problem before, you takes buckets and go get water hire a tricycle I did, Do you have car ? There you go put buckets in your car,your spending a lot more money using 4” blocks , you stucco both sides plus you fill the blocks,it would been less cost to form a 4” concrete wall and very strong, by the way I’ve built 100’s of homes hotels whatever you name it, by the time you lay blocks you could have formed the wall and poured concrete and been finished, I’m not here to make fun of you I only want to help,
I’m looking foreward to your form and pour house video. Haven’t met one owner who was happy with the results using local labor. I predict one will go thru many many workers trying to get them to match up forms and manually vibrate the concrete. Nope, it sounds good, but unless your the worker , your results will leave you grinding concrete and skim coating a wall you intended to be finish quality. Blocks! Don’t reinvent the wheel, if you want different quality of block you can certainly get that. Again, what I share is what I learned doing it. Lots of my ideas we not applicable here. So take what you can use and leave the rest. Best wishes
@@mikemulholland8092 I build a few buildings using a pour in place forming system on the Island Garden of Samal near Davao. When you remove the forms the wall takes minimal skim coating in comparison to hollow block and the PSI strength is about three times the strength as Hollow block at about 3500 PSI. The key is to set the forms up properly so you have a clean wall after removing them combined with good vibration. Thanks for sharing.

Wheres part 3 bro?
Do you see subsurface cooling technologies being used in the Philippines?
No not really
No
To be honest with you using 4” blocks that way is Bullshit junk
Haha, bullshit? How many homes have you built …. With no water on site and no water truck? None,,,, more workin less talkin for you.

Well said,it's the only choice poor citizens have to build so that's why the do it.Much better ways to build if you can afford it.
