95% of tile setters are slackers. Rarely do they buff out the tiles the next day to remove the grout film on the actual tile and let alone they applying grout sealer. Apply grout sealer actually helps remove some of the film on the tiles. I always used a big cotton towel after the sealer was applied.
I've slept months on end in an hammock when homeless, and it was ok So my perspective of this rental is nice little Palace and worth the rental if can afford it I guess life experiences dictate our levels of appreciation to a certain extent
Love the tile floors. For the bathroom a couple of cheap brace bars to hang front and back polyester shower curtains will contain most of the water from a shower and dry fast.
The lot is huge. Build quality seems very high! But you do not have a full 2nd floor. You are right below the roof, I'd be bumping my head all the time.
Actually, they are in many places. The problem is that most use that thin hardback foam insulation. I have seen the very thick yellow fiberglass insulation in some commercial new construction. I once spoke to a government official about alternative insulation. The Philippines is concerned about global warming. They do understand that people living near the coastal areas will be forced to move inland and up, in the near future. I had an idea of using banana plants just as they are doing in making ropes and other things. We discussed using coconut husk, but he said that material burns at a lower temperature than banana plants. He was very intrigued by the banana suggestion and told me that the government may look into that. He suggested I write to their department and if they decided to try it, they may do it for free if I would let them experiment on my house. I never followed it up, so I don't know if that idea went anywhere. I think it is a cheaper alternative and more accessible for lower-income homeowners.
Aloha I’m a new subscriber from Las Vegas.. I am enjoying your videos.. some of he homes are really nice... keep up the good work... Be SAFE. and GOD BLESS
@@endthehate Yes I did watch the whole tour. Can you be specific as to why it is not good? Does the roof leak? Is it not safe? Is there a hole in a wall?
fishonaquabid so you like the living/den area inside the kitchen/dining area all crammed into a 15x20 space? you like no CR upstairs? you like no AC upstairs? how do you get furniture upstairs? do you like to walk through the shower to get to the toilet? do enjoy watching movies in your kitchen? if you answer yes to any of these, you should move in immediately!!!!
In some ways, I think Filipino builders are trying to mimic the US, but it is like they saw a picture and guessed the rest. I even visited a subdivision that had an Orange County, California name, and they claimed it was designed exactly after that Orange, California style of homes. I told the real estate agent I had been to Orange, county many times and there were no homes like that there. She insisted (as if someone that's been to Orange county many times, knows less than she does). That said, it was a nice community. They should have just claimed it as their own design.
Ned...it would be great if you were able to find out what the lot and house cost to build...for those interested to go that route today...but your house tours are great!
Good video ... You are right the roof needs to be painted silver..The property and location is beautiful lots of space...The stairway and roof would be a deal breaker for me...I'm 70 and have slipped and also have had missteps a couple times on those kinds of stairs and you get thrown into the wall with great force...I call them (suicide stairs) I think when the baby turns 2 they love to walk around and explore on their own a house with stairs would be a no go....
No to whit/silver roof - the roof as shown has a coordinating color with the exterior facade. The bathroom amenity layout is very strange. Also, no landscape provided around the house.
American English allows for multiple words to describe a single thing. We might also say "step, partition, dividing wall, half wall, or something I'm not currently thinking of. In America, we would think of the edge of a road when you say curb.
Wow nice place no doubt it went quick. One of the best you have shown. For rent it is about right. A house like that in California would rent for about three grand a month and Florida would be about 1200 for sure
@@llothar68 Thats right Keep them in poverty. Not my goal. I do not pay rent. My wife owns the house. But for what I have seen here is good. I have seen them charge more for less.. You must be used to renting by the hour. But you know to each his own. Just a quick lesson in economics. It will rent at only what the market supports. sorry you cannot live to your usual standards for less but still I find the Philippines pretty cheap
That place would be un-rentable here in Florida as anything but a boarding house. The design isn't family friendly. No place to congregate. Just chill & watch TV or have guest over. These aren't digs things are just different here. They probably spend more time outdoors. It's not like they have Football on Sundays.🤷🏾♂️ The place looks very nice otherwise. Putting the showers at the front of the bathroom are also curious decision by the designer. 🤔
Bingo....I would spend my CO pension w that...somewhat eclectic dig it. Places to trail run and nice nature?...maybe later, a nice companion or pets...or both.
Dirt could have been from new construction or too much shade or not enough shade. Or maybe it was the dry season where most vegetation wilts and/or dies until the rainy seasons return.
For some reason, they like to build dangerous stairs. We vacationed in the Philipines two years ago now. The house we rented had steep stairs. I feared my granddaughter would get hurt. I feared I would get hurt. Sure enough, before our vacation was up, my granddaughter fell down a few steps and hit her head on one of the tiled steps. She slightly cut her head. If my daughter was not standing next to her, that accident may have been much worse than the cut and bruise she ended up with. Why would you make stairs at a 20-degree angle and with a slick six-inch wide tile?
Adam Publiczny yeah it’s almost like this is the very first house this architect/designer has ever built!!!!! WTF the showers? the upstairs? the kitchen/den/living/dining room/ entertainment/TV viewing all in one 15x20 space?????? this place is a joke!!!!! maybe the guy who built it is a comedian?
@@endthehate You see this everywhere in the Philippines, in all areas. The average Filipino has not been outside the Philipines. When they are told, this is how Westerners live, they tend to go for it. Greed is everywhere. Notice how crappier everything in America is getting...as prices continue to go up? The younger/just starting out families are unaware that in the old days, things were made better. The world was cleaner in general.
Here the US I take it for granted living in a 5 bedroom house, 3 1/2 bath, 3 car garage and a pool. We don't use the dinning room except holidays and occasions. The car garage is full of $h!t. The family room is not used often. In the Philippines, my ancestral home was built and can accommodate 50 family members. 7 rooms, 3 baths and 2 guest houses with 3 rooms and 2 baths each. Instead I would stay in our nipa and bamboo beach house with only a big room and an out house with shower. I sleep and dine on the bamboo floor for weeks. I don't even drive, I take the bus or jeepney. Just simple living. I eat using my hands. We got chickens, ducks, pigs, goats, vegetables, fruits and dogs. I don't miss grocery stores of Walmart, WinCo or Ralphs. For an ugly house with high concrete walls like that I'm will be grateful.
@@47boogieman67 Driving through farm roads of New England and down Texas. I learn to appreciate small log cabins and how the pioneers live. We don't have modern standards like insulations. Cars are considered luxury. A house is a necessity even its not to par. The guy is even lucky to have running water. I have to get water from a well.
I'm an engineer I know the house is not up to par with western standards. But the owner must be proud and maybe its the first time he has a concrete house after decades growing up on a bamboo house. I've been to Mexico, they got beautiful houses. The only issue its Mexican standard which is not US standard. The same with Chinese houses, 3-4 levels high won't even pass US building, electrical and plumbing inspections. Not having a throne in the bathroom is a standard.
When I first moved to SE Asia I had a toilet and sink inside my shower too. People here like the bathroom to have a wet floor - they think it’s cleaner. And think about it... wet is cleaner than sticky, it’s less concentrated!!
That's the first time I have seen the shower before the toilet. Makes even less sense than the no separation between the shower and the rest of the room. So, you walk in the bathroom to use the toilet or sink and your socks, shoes or just your feet will be wet after someone has taken a shower. I just don't get it! I suspect what is happening is that you will notice that the Philippines is kind of like going back in time, in comparison to the Western world. In many ways, that is a good thing, but in other things like the wet bathroom, it isn't so good. Not to worry though. It has been my experience that everyone wants to be like America. They will (unfortunately) catch up with us very soon. I know it was almost 6 years ago, but I rented a two-story, three-bed, maids quarters, laundry room, carport in a gated subdivision with security for $310 per month. And that was in Bacoor, Cavite, Metro Manila.
About 1,5 million. That means 7500 pesos when you use the idea of house financing in 18 years rent (200 month). Then add the same for the land and you get a justified 15000 pesos rent.
Ventilation fans always help. Should be a coded item. A hold-house fan would make all the difference. In just a few seconds, the house would be the same temp as outside and probably a bit cooler because of no sun inside.
Didn't like the bathroom, you're right everything gets wet and uncomfortable, it's not worth $500 layout not the best either, need transport to get there
Typical Filipino construction. They cut corners everywhere they can. Concrete block, probably with no rebar. No insulation in the walls or roof. The upstairs will be brutally hot with the brown roof and no insulation. They cut holes in the walls and install those noisy and inefficient window air conditioners. They will not cool properly and will cost a fortune to operate. An inverter split system will cost more upfront but you will recoup the cost in a lowered electric bill in one year. The windows and doors have gaps and are the cheapest single pane glass. The bars and the walls with barbed wire are a product of life in the Philippines. The widow maker hot water showers are typical. The camp stove in the kitchen is unsafe and illegal in the USA for indoor use. Don't be surprised if the propane tank is under the counter, again unsafe and illegal in many western countries. Add to this that there is no bathroom upstairs, no closets, no grass, and the list goes on. $500 monthly may seem cheap until you realize where you're living and what you have to sacrifice. If you run all four of those air conditioners you may end up paying as much for electricity as you're paying in rent. It's always more fun in the Philippines!
Lol, I actually like the bathrooms. I'd take a shower and spray down the bathroom at the same time. Clean myself and clean the bathroom. Yeah, my 350 pounds would destroy that upstairs floor.
Alan K. Harder i bet if you open the windows at each end, set up a fan or two in front of each, get the air circulating, it wouldn’t be half bad!!! i would want my bedroom up there but no way to get the bed up, plus no CR....the designer had his head screwed on backwards!!!!
2nd floor has amazing man cave/game room potential, but the roofing/insulation seems horrid. With that design (in an adequate climate controlled scenario) most of my time would be upstairs. Such potential lost😢😅
Nice on the outside (mountain chalet ?) odd inside. First they spent millions to construct the house but later they couldnt afford interior designer ?! 😲😀 Living room non existent TV above kitchen stove 😲 Crazy CR's Crazy hot and poor planning upstairs
I guess you would need to put inflatable furniture upstairs since there is no apparent access to the second floor other than the staircase. A example of a Filipino architect thinking outside the box without thinking about the box. Many nice features that balance out the questionable ones. Thanks Ned
The triangle roof already fucked it all up. And the staircase is never for elderly or chronic drunk.
5:20---The 'Dust on the tile' is actually the residue from the grouting! You apply the grout, and wash off the excess, leaving the 'Dust'!
95% of tile setters are slackers. Rarely do they buff out the tiles the next day to remove the grout film on the actual tile and let alone they applying grout sealer. Apply grout sealer actually helps remove some of the film on the tiles. I always used a big cotton towel after the sealer was applied.
Looks great right up to the time you walk inside. Then it's down hill from there.
Your not wrong. I thought wow that looks great from the outside.

Yeah, I just built my house here in Valencia last spring.
This house makes me glad I designed my own.
Love the tile floors. For the bathroom a couple of cheap brace bars to hang front and back polyester shower curtains will contain most of the water from a shower and dry fast.
Very cute house. I wonder if there is some way to cool down the second floor inexpensively. The front yard is great!
Valencia, Dumanguete, is a “gorgeous “ place.. hilly and just., simply gorgeous.,.. I’ve been there once.
Holiday cottage with upstairs sauna?
Huge yard! Thank u for making this video, very interesting to see what is out there. peace from Macau.
That is about one of the poorest designs that could be.
The lot is huge. Build quality seems very high! But you do not have a full 2nd floor. You are right below the roof, I'd be bumping my head all the time.

Are the 24/7 crowing rosters included?
Appreciate the tour, Ned... nice home, but; virtually NO living area. Do the charge extra for the crowing roosters?
Does the land lord come with the house?
No to whit/silver roof - the roof as shown has a coordinating color with the exterior facade.
The bathroom amenity layout is very strange.
Also, no landscape provided around the house.

I would guess 2,000 square meters.
is it common for the yard to not have grass? all dirt yards?
Dirt could have been from new construction or too much shade or not enough shade. Or maybe it was the dry season where most vegetation wilts and/or dies until the rainy seasons return.

An attic is not a proper bedroom. too hot to be any real use.
It does not worth more than 15k (300USD)
Not impressed with this house but the view is lovely
That is a weird bathroom.
Hmm, somebody is buntis.
Nice on the outside (mountain chalet ?) odd inside.
First they spent millions to construct the house but later they couldnt afford interior designer ?! 😲😀
Living room non existent
TV above kitchen stove 😲
Crazy CR's
Crazy hot and poor planning upstairs

it’s like maybe you’re on Candid Camera being punked!!!!
House is good for 15000 pesos, 20000 if they already had a nice garden, but 25000 only with a gun in my face.
A house surrounded by mud with no bathroom on the oven floor. Pass.
That house is too chopped up.
