Yes James texted you while back just to say hi. The house looks amazing. Glad Ness and yourself enjoyed your vacation. Pam said "James got a haircut". 🤣
James,I have been a subscriber for a long time now, I enjoy your work I find the vieos entertaining and informative. I'm currently binge watching your build of Villa Felize.
Welcome home James & Ness. Neighbors house looks awesome and the drone shots as well. Thanks for the plug and look forward to have you on my next show.
Hello James and Ness. This is Kerry and Elisa Starr from Atlanta Ga. We are long time followers of your PI Dream. James you have inspire me to do DIY projects here at my home and you have inspire me to work on a 4 to 5 year saving project to build my retirement home in my wife's home town General Santos, Philippines. So I want to sincerely thank you for inspiration and hopefully one day when I complete my goal I will like for my wife and I to meet you and your lovely wife and shake your hand to thank you in person. Keep up the good work James it mean a lot to us and I'm sure to all the viewer's.
Thanks for the vote of confidence. Every good project starts with a dream and a plan. Sounds like you're moving in the right direction. Please visit us when you are over here. We two "good ole' boys" can swap some good stories!
Good to see you again Sir James. Wow.. Villa Feliz looks so amazing with all the fruit bearing trees, beautiful ornamental plants and of course the villa itself. By the way, Maam Ness looks younger with her new hair cut and hair color.
Thanks for the update and looking forward to viewing the vacation clips...Welcome back and I've hooked a couple of friends here in Dubai on your channel (one from Scotland and one from England)...Cheers!! 👍😎👍
Hi James Hi Ness: Great to see ya back safe and sound.missed ya. James wow the progress on your neighbour's house is amazing thanks for the update. I am very anxious to see the trip video especially for the road blocks that were encountered. I am planning on returning home in the latter part of the year, Gods willing and would like to know from actual experience what lays in store for the journey, especially being handicapped the hoops and obstacles that may await me.Grat to have you back!!
Glad y'all are back, James and Ness. I am sure the owners are going to be happy with their new home. My Dental work is done and people tell my I look younger now. I don't think so, but my smile is much bigger now.
No more barrel distortion with that new camera and the image quality is niiiiiice! YAY! Enjoy the new camera. Looking forward to Hawaii footage to compare to our experiences on Maui. The Hawaiian Islands are all so different! Welcome back home - Oh, our last and upcoming video are each "My PI Dream length" at 20+ minutes and hopefully as fun as yours. Looks like a lot happened you were away! Stuff grows sooooooo fast there! Cheers from Chuck and Lori
@@MyPIDream you mean to tell me you traveled without a drone? Man I carry two with me on trips! always have an extra for redundancy because I love getting aerial footage on vacation. Well you know that for my videos. whenever I can fly I will.
Welcome back! Was wondering why no vloggs. Your garden soil is so rich and garden so lush. About garage doors , those torsion springs are under high tension and need to care should be taken when working with them , spray lubricate the coil( they get rusty) ,avoid lube 3" from ends, and the two tracks, doing so makes it easier on the opener motor as the door glides easier, use spray white Lithium grease,you might be able to get the grease from the Auto parts store, I just had to repair my garage door , due to rail wheels binding and cables went off the spool, you can get tips how too in RUclips, Ingat James❣
FINALLY!!! HIPPIE GONE AND STYLISH GENTLEMAN IS BACK....:D One thing is for sure, your walls around the garden as a bit too um low, and with Philippine cobras around is a gigantic no no for me and the family, 2 meter atleast, and 1,5 meters down underground.... and a ton of cats`n dogs, well a ton of cats and a few dogs.
Glad your vacation was enjoyable if a little frantic. Looking forward to seeing your travel video. The house across the road is really coming together and we just love the design. They are really going to love living there. Slowly edging towards our retirement move out there, can’t wait to kick back and soak up the sun. Stay safe 👍
props to the engineer and architect on that. A downhill house like that i could imagine a lot of thought had to be put in that. For those just driving by out front the house looks small and nothing fancy, but when you look at it from above and from the back, its pretty grand. Love the use of the american style garage. Hope see more of this. Although if thats just a single car garage door, they didnt leave much clearance inside. looks like one side has more clearance than the other which was the passenger side. So they would have to center the vehicle as they go in or reverse park in which then gives the driver side the side with the most clearance to actually open his door inside the garage
Was wondering what happened and where you were🤔. Batangas soil have one of the most fertile soils in the Philippines as shown by your fruit and vegetable garden👍🏼. Looking forward to more episodes
Hello James and Ness ,glad all went well on your trip visiting family and friends ,your both looking great ,Canadian's house build is really a different style of build but it's growing on me very large flat roof space looking forward to seeing it in completed form kind of semi art deco style .
James and Ness Wow… I don’t think I’ve ever posted a comment, but I followed you for a couple of years… Pandemic boredom lol. Your place was always amazing and it’s just gotten better overtime. Such a beautiful property and stylish home. I can see you’re excited about your new neighbours built. I’ve followed also for a couple of years some other Filipino builds,so what do you really think about some..new homes being built in the Philippines… Some of them are just monstrous concrete blocks… In my opinion… That’s why your property is so special. Soon to be in Philippines 23/4-6 wk vacation and then see how it goes.Blessings😎🇨🇦
I've seen lots of changes in the quality and design of builds here over the last 5 years. If you pick a good builder, they are equal or better than many western contractors I've seen before moving here?
@@MyPIDream Oh absolutely… Over the last 30 years with rapid build areas/expansion some of the big-name builders are horrible… They put up crap and people spend a lot of money for them. One of my best friends is a custom home builder you see the difference. And like you said if you get a good builder over there and you keep an eye on them lol because some of them like to do some strange Things… Different ways… Yes you would get a quality home. Mostly referring to the appearance change to some of the newer builds over there.🇨🇦😎Cheers
Hi James, great to see you guys! This coming weekend I am traveling as a passenger this time to visit my extended family in Lipa! We are very excited because it has been since February 2020 since we last came over! Looking forward to seeing our plot on Summit Point!:)
I get my palms from Padre Garcia and Rosario. Email me and I'll give you the contact info for my go to guy in Rosario that can get you any plant you want if it's here in the Philippines. mypidream@gmail.com
Hi sir James nice house update. My family is a fan of your channel. Actually we are also building our own house in batangas!!. I am inspired to vlog it as well like what your are doing. Shoutout😊 Stay safe and sound. God bless..
@@MyPIDream yes sir. Looking forward to your next episodes...can I request for my shoutout? To surprise my parents they are the ones who discovered your channel and introduced to me 😊. Thank you in advance.
I am in love with your landscape, James. You put in a perfect ratio of fruits, vegetables, and ornamental plants. Your property is huge, how many square meters is it? property
So glad to see yours and others channels designed to help expats navigate the transition from native countries. I am planning to retire in PI in about 5 years and will be visiting again the first 2 weeks in Aug. I would be interested in your thoughts on the best way to go with a budget of about PHP 10,000,000, but existing or build?
Depending on if you build in a gated community or in the province will dictate how far your P10m will go. In a gated community, you'll spend between P6-P10m just for the land. Most houses expats build over here range from P8-P20m. This is at today's cost for materials and labor.
Welcome back James. Missed seeing your videos and glad you had a nice time in the US with family and friends. As we get ready to make our move to the Philippines in 2 weeks, was curious how you like your GoPro 10? We have been looking into them, however, had reads some reviews of overheating and would like to know how you like yours so far.
Very nice.. A bit industrial antiseptic looking but very nice. 👍 Looks like a modern city concept in a rural setting. A bit like a futuristic rendering would seem in 1960 for the modern NY family of the future in the year 2030😂 You might have tour busses going past showing how the other half live.
love u r garden wild growth in the phillipines is normal its a jungle u r lucky to have many fruits also u r friends house is spectacular what do u think the total cost of that build will be
I don't talk with the neighbors about their their cost to observe their privacy, but my calculated guess would be over P13m. If you were to build on a flat lot that did not require the slope correction of this build you could build the house structure for less.
Hi James, Sorry to hear you're having issues editing your new GoPro 10 video.I just bought the GoPro 10 as well and have had no issues. I'm on Mac OS and using iMovie and all seems fine so far. Can you give a bit more detail on the issues you're having?
My wife toured available lots yesterday at Tierra Maria . The deed restrictions say the maximum building footprint for any building ( main or auxiliary) on any lot cannot be greater than 25%. It further goes on to state that swimming pools count toward that 25%. Your overhead drone view of this new build looks like the buildings footprint is way greater than 25%. My wife and I are considering a lot at Tierra to build a single story home approximately 223 sqm . My wife was shown lots ranging from 750 to 936 sqm and have an in-ground pool installed . Will this fit based on your experience?
This is all correct. The Canadian neighbor's build is within the 25% "Farm Lot" restriction as it was already measured by the HOA Planning Engineer. Sometimes the drone views can be deceiving because you might see pavers and concrete walkways that are not included in the 25% rule. Based on your desire to build a house with pool, here's a quick example on a 750 sqm standard lot. 750 sqm x 25% = 187.5 sqm max. footprint for house and pool. For your desired requirements of a house (single story) around 223 sqm, you would need a lot around 1,100 sqm to accompany a 223 sqm house and with 52 sqm leftover that would be plenty for a very nice sized pool. What some people here do to have a larger house and pool is buy two lots and combine them. Feel free to contact me at mypidream@gmail.com with any other questions or concerns. Good luck on your property search!
It’s their custom house , their forever house for their taste. Even the out door driveway and walkway must be the owners design not from a landscape architect . Those wall architectural stones are the trend there now instead of natural look stones. Their bathroom design is what I ordinarily see in the Phil and on regular tract houses here. You open the door and you see them all. I prefer two doors in bathrooms. Once they have it furnished the place might give a different feel, as it is, too cold. It does not give that warm welcome feel. That’s my thought . The owner will certainly enjoy it since it’s what they have in mind.
Hey James , the notch they cutout for the water run off for the roof , wouldn't you think it would be better to have it by the pool side so the water runs into the pool rather than the driveway in front of the house ? waste of a lot of water from the roof run off when it rains ?
All the water from the roof goes down the downspout drains to the underground cistern. You really don't want the water from the roof going into your pool as it will change the pH and introduce dirt to the pool water.
Hi James nice video again well done. James I'm a Canadian married to a Philippina, and my wife recently bought a piece of land. The land is 300.00 square feet is it enough space to build a house and a small swimming pool?
Before I advise did you mean 300 square meters or square feet? Most bedrooms are around 300 sq ft. On a 300 sqm lot you could build a small bungalow and small pool as long as there are no restrictions by the HOA or city.
We're lucky our lemons don't have issues with caterpillars here. If I did I would spray them with some kind of oil spray. You can make your own purchase horticulture oil sprays. Here's a quick home recipe: mix 1 cup of olive oil, ½ cup of water and 3 drops of detergent and spray the undersides of the leaves.
I think they're asking that to be private but best guess for a house of this size, quality and the complexity of the backyard retaining wall I'd say between P12m-P16m.
PS James Ukranians are giving Russia and Putin headaches, and most likely when this war is over Russia do not have a military anymore nor any economy to talk about aswell, since Europe now have said none of the countries will get gas or oil from Russia anymore.
Angels yes. Thank you very important reminder.
Awesome congratulations
Magandang umaga James and Ness. Glad u're back safe and sound.👍
Wow nice home
love you James and ness god blessing
