Angie taught me the Bisaya word for those check point police, they're called "dakop" which for me was easy to remember because it sounds like "the cop!" Lol. Thanks for the update Greg, it's looking great 👍🏻
Tipping is good...Works 99% of the time to get stuff done! Looking good, hopefully the weather holds up... Beautiful view of Mindinao...I didn't realise it was that close... Life is good... Make it happen! 😊 TC... 🙏🙏🙏 👍😎👍
one time i grouted tile seams, and masking tape on every joint kept it cleaner and easier to fill to the top and clean it because the tile was not easy to wipe clean . Got a few new sponges? that Tile is a very nice improvement ! Good work guys , Try a small sample of driveway paint , test it .
The guys are killing it with the tile! I was wondering what they'd do around the poles. Great work! 👍 I got my initial 13 Balikbayan boxes in around 45 days, shipped from Utah to L.A., then to Manila and delivered to our Pampanga house. My last 6 boxes took 50 days, and we're having Forex hold them at the Valenzuela warehouse until we get home next Monday. We're spending 9 days in Metro Manila, at our condo (Church stuff this week). It cost me $125/box, except one. It had my guitars in it, so was 48" (double length), and cost $195. I was impressed with how fast the boxes got here! In the past, my late Wife and I would send boxes to her Sister, in Calamba, Laguna, and it could take 3 months to deliver! I did several videos about packing, shipping, and recently, delivery.
We painted our driveway with that rubberized product but ours is not nearly as smooth as your carport, you'd be ok with it. Our carport is all tile and there's no issue keeping it clean.
@@buildingthephilippines good thing you had that in mind, materials used most specifically on finishes must consider the use intended as per specification. Carports /garages that are contiguous to driveways calls for a rigid task and may be subject to engine oil stains from washing and auto maintenance activities that i prefer concrete paving blocks or simply pavement with transverse groove finish to serve its purpose. Thanks for the reply, that was prompt.
Hi Greg. I noticed Wilma has some plants planted in pots. I’m trying to grow vegetables in pots this year and wondering if the boss has any pointers…. cause I am yet to get a vegetable! Thanks
2 skimmers and 4 returns. My understanding you need 2 returns for each skimmer, to ensure you keep the pressure of your pool pump in an acceptable range.
@@buildingthephilippines I think that it is more of the epoxy than the stone. You might be able to just order the special epoxy and get the stone there.

Lol, there's da cop. Quick turn around. Thanks for commenting.
Great long view pic of Mindanao. Finally getting some rain for the garden, looks great guys!
Yes, rainy season is finally here. Everything growing again.
Nice clear Mindanao shot! Greg, the new king of Citi Hardware😂
Lol, pretty good store.

Thank you, appreciate the comment.
The tile looks like a real nice upgrade. Continued success!
Thank you

There are a lot of joints to fill with grout. Going to tale done time. Sealing is also going to be a tough job. Thanks for watching.
Looking good ..city hardware is our place to go here in Bacolod city ❤❤❤🇦🇺🇵🇭
Yes, our go-to place here as well.
HI 👋 U2! Tile work is looking good 👍. Props to the boys on doing a job!! TY 4 sharing again. Blessings 🙏🌺🌸🌼
@@Chickenlegs836 thank you for watching.
Looks amazing and you have a beautiful home
Thank you, appreciate it.
We’ve been to that Citi Hardware Greg , massive parking area . Love the tiles. Looking great ❤
Thanks, it's our go-to place.
I'm from Connecticut and it takes 3 to 4 months to send a box to iloilo from Connecticut and costs about 125.00 dollars
Yes, it definitely takes some time. Thanks for sharing that information.

@jerrymarshall2728 good information to share about shipping balikbayan boxes to the Philippines. Thanks for sharing.
Looking great!
Thank you
Hi you and Wilma should fruit bearing trees, bananas because trees can lower temperature of your surroundings and lemon grass to drive away snakes
@@maryannpena5736 we have 20 fruit trees and a bunch of lemon grass in our garden.
We painted our driveway with that rubberized product but ours is not nearly as smooth as your carport, you'd be ok with it. Our carport is all tile and there's no issue keeping it clean.
Great to hear. I appreciate that testimonial.
You can get a product that is like plaster. It is self leveling. It does work, and you can add 50/50 with extra sand. Might be worth checking out.
Do you know if it's sold locally?
@buildingthephilippines Sorry, I am in NZ
@co...ahjack2818 ok thanks
Sorry, I missed the reason why you aren’t tiling the entire carport area? It seems that it would be OK to drive on?
I'm nervous to drive on it. So many locally who tells me, "I drive on mine" have a multi cab. Just decided not to do it.
@@buildingthephilippinestilework is most likely never to be recommended in a carport that would certainly require a non-slip surface.
@philipmasie I don't feel comfortable driving on tile. Some say it's OK, some say they could crack over time. I decided not to chance it.

@@elavson96 good points
Rubberized paint is ok, but overtime, it'll be very hard to clean, especially the tire marks that'll be left behind by your pickup truck.
OK thanks for the information.

Plants do better in the ground. If in pots, they need to be large ones.
Hello Greg.I remember from a past vid you did,that your pool is 6x9.How many skimmers do you have?.TIA.
2 skimmers and 4 returns. My understanding you need 2 returns for each skimmer, to ensure you keep the pressure of your pool pump in an acceptable range.
Do they have like a Nature Stone kind of product? Maybe on Amazon?
@jonjaso4002 what would be the shipping cost to ship stone to this Island?
@@buildingthephilippines I think that it is more of the epoxy than the stone. You might be able to just order the special epoxy and get the stone there.
Thanks for the suggestion.
Greg, what is the cost for typhoon shutters?
I don't know, I never priced them.
Seeing Mindanao from south of Negros ?!!!
Really ?
@tedrobertson1344 yes, we often see the mountains of Mindanao from our location.
