Nice looking up date report! . i would like to see another video with Wilma n Greg sit down for breakfast or coffee in a nice place . when you are ready This has been very interesting to see this each day/week .
Been watching from very early - it's come together so nicely. In California - this would be a $2.5 million dollar house. And you have all the sunshine you can handle. I'm really happy for you and Wilma.
I need to video them. They ended up looking basically the same as the last update. I thought there were more to the process, but I guess I was wrong. Anticlimactic
I have enjoyed all your videos. We built 5 years ago and now we are looking for land by the ocean like you for a second go at it. I have a harder time living in Minnesota and doing every thing remotely.
A second go of it. You are a brave man. Yes, hard to build and not be on site. Raises the chances of short cuts. Keep in touch and good luck on your next build.
Wilma's smiles are a delight to behold! Well done, Greg! I have been following along this amazing construction for quite some time and am encouraged by you two's resiliency dealing with disappointments as well as progress. I commend you both, Greg. Be well, be safe, God Bless! 🙏☕😎
Thanks Steve for the nice comment. Wilma and I are one in the same. We stick together no matter what comes at us. It's all starting to come together liked we hoped and planned.
Really pleased for you both, we have been watching from the start and we will watch until the end and beyond. So happy for Wilma, that smile has been made possible by you Greg, all your hard work and planning, not to mention the construction management. A lot more happiness to come as well.
Thanks for the update, and the brownouts have been more frequent in the last month or two for you guys. Things are coming along nicely, and you just need to enjoy all that you have, and I am sure you realize the light at the end of the tunnel is very near. Looks like the Jets have Rogers as your teams new QB for 2023. I wish your team luck with him, as he is one of the best in the NFL. 😊
Lol, remember me saying once I move in this area brown outs would start happening. Just my luck. 39 year old QB, following in the footsteps of Farve. I'm not really liking the move. Will be interesting to see though.
I'm going to pick that piece up myself with my truck. I did do a video awhile back showing the kitchen island being delivered on a trike. It's named our granite is delivered.
@@buildingthephilippines Yeah I seen that one, and I'm still chuckling about it. That's why I want to see even more of that Philippines delivery service in action. That is amazing stuff, and I admire their work ethic.
@@buildingthephilippines Hi guys think Citi hardware sells it not sure the width or length anyway enjoy heading back there from aus on Tuesday cheers Gerry
One thing good to have is seams in the concrete so you have crack control. Maybe it so hot there cracks in concrete not so bad. Watch out for plant trees to close to concrete as roots will life & crack the concrete.
We have the hook up ready to go in the dirty kitchen, but Wilma wants a slop sink instead. We are so used to taking our laundry to be done for us, we are going to continue. Good question.
Wilma looks very happy - so congratulations. Will there be a video about your final costs? mistakes if any ? What advice you could give to foreigners about building a home based upon you experiences?
Be nice if the land owner make a homeowner's association so have some rules about what activity permitted in neighborhood, for instance limit # of dogs & no roasters, no pigs.
Hi Greg, if you know can you tell me the daily rate for the skilled labor? I’m going to started some projects and I’m getting a lot of different answers about this. BTW your home, pool and landscaping is looking great, can’t wait to see the front gate.
@@buildingthephilippines I'm looking for just about the same amount of property. Somewhere in carcar though. Thanks for the quick response. I know it's late there.
I have been creating a small lawn of frog grass if I was you I would get a company to come and turf it for you because that is a big area and you need good size turfs with mine it’s all come in small bits that will be a nightmare to plant in such a big area
Hey guys, you sure about the epoxy in the sun for that concrete? I did the garage and it warns about sunlight. The apron to the garage turned really white and dried bleach looking.
such a beautiful house.
Thank you
Nice looking up date report! . i would like to see another video with Wilma n Greg sit down for breakfast or coffee in a nice place . when you are ready
This has been very interesting to see this each day/week .
Thanks Rory, we will certainly do that. We have coffee together every morning.
Wow look at that gorgeous blue ocean and blue sky as far as the eye can see, beautiful Philippines sea.😍
The views are amazing. We can see apo island, siqujor and Mindanao from our property.
Wilma's smile says it all. It's all coming together nicely.
It's nice to see that smile back. It was gone for awhile.
Very nice house. My husband and I are building a house in Cebu hopefully this year. Looking forward to seeing your costing video.
Congrats Lis, on your future build. Cebu is pretty close to us.
Wow the area in front of the pool looks great
It's all coming together David, just like we envisioned almost 2 years ago.
Been watching from very early - it's come together so nicely. In California - this would be a $2.5 million dollar house. And you have all the sunshine you can handle. I'm really happy for you and Wilma.
Thanks Murray. We built for much less. Will do a cost video down the road when everything is completed. Thanks for watching.
Hey Greg, I’d love to see some video during a heavy rain 🌧️ to see how well your drainage system works 😊
Yes that would be a good video, to show our planning and execution worked.
It looks fantastic, although I'd still like to see the end result of the awnings. I'm curious how they all got finished.
I need to video them. They ended up looking basically the same as the last update. I thought there were more to the process, but I guess I was wrong. Anticlimactic
I agree with Wilma on the grass
Wilma has an eye for these things. A bit of grass will look nice to break up so much concrete and stone.
I have enjoyed all your videos. We built 5 years ago and now we are looking for land by the ocean like you for a second go at it. I have a harder time living in Minnesota and doing every thing remotely.

Thanks Steve for the nice comment. Wilma and I are one in the same. We stick together no matter what comes at us. It's all starting to come together liked we hoped and planned.
I guess you will have some cabinets in the garage for tools garden equipment etc so much of the balakbayan boxes will disappear into there
Yes, making that part of phase 2.
Really pleased for you both, we have been watching from the start and we will watch until the end and beyond. So happy for Wilma, that smile has been made possible by you Greg, all your hard work and planning, not to mention the construction management. A lot more happiness to come as well.
Thanks Richard. Wilma and I are a good team. We have similar tastes. Looking forward to enjoying the home for many years.

Definitely got to show the 240 cm piece being carried on a trike.

@@buildingthephilippines Yeah I seen that one, and I'm still chuckling about it. That's why I want to see even more of that Philippines delivery service in action. That is amazing stuff, and I admire their work ethic.
I need to shoot more video of the things I see out on the road. Crazy stuff.
What would look really nice is imitation grass in front of the pool with stones around if it’s available handy to where you live cheers Gerry
I have never seen artificial grass here. However we are starting to plan out landscaping plants, trees and grass now. Thanks for commenting.
@@buildingthephilippines Hi guys think Citi hardware sells it not sure the width or length anyway enjoy heading back there from aus on Tuesday cheers Gerry
Ok thanks.
@@buildingthephilippines really love the build you are right on top of the builders for decent work and they listen to you or Wilma cheers Gerry
Preparing for brownouts, and other issues is a must out in the provinces. Good thing you have a generator... now get it up and tested.
Yes, hopefully fully operational in a week. It's a must in the province. Thanks for watching.
One thing good to have is seams in the concrete so you have crack control. Maybe it so hot there cracks in concrete not so bad. Watch out for plant trees to close to concrete as roots will life & crack the concrete.
So many dont make crack control joints. Probably a good idea though. No frost so that helps. We plan to have joints for the driveway.
Gorgeous estate. Do you have a name for your property yet? I suggest Greg & Wilma's Wonderland 😀🌷🙏🏽
It's definitely coming together. We never thought of naming it, but we may. Thanks for watching.
the front is looking really great. wondering if you can power spray the dirty kitchen floor to clean it up or will that damage the flooring.
Not sure James. The guys said they can clean it up properly. I will let them go at it, then go from there.
Hi Greg and Wilma all looking good where you putting your washing machine is it going in the dirty kitchen or have I missed it in the house kitchen
We have the hook up ready to go in the dirty kitchen, but Wilma wants a slop sink instead. We are so used to taking our laundry to be done for us, we are going to continue. Good question.
Hello Greg. Have you heard of the Starlink satellite internet system?? It may be right for you guys.
Yes, just became available here. Will look into it if we continue to have outages.
#1 Gen. We just bought a Generator "Dewalt" 7000w for house in Qld. OZ, blackouts here to
Yes, good purchase. You have to have a generator for any power failures, especially typhoons etc.
Wilma looks very happy - so congratulations. Will there be a video about your final costs? mistakes if any ? What advice you could give to foreigners about building a home based upon you experiences?
Yes, we plan to do a video about that soon.
Be nice if the land owner make a homeowner's association so have some rules about what activity permitted in neighborhood, for instance limit # of dogs & no roasters, no pigs.
There is rules for the subdivision. 6 foot high fence max, no farm animals, dogs on a leash if outside property, only concrete homes. That's about it.
Hi Greg, if you know can you tell me the daily rate for the skilled labor? I’m going to started some projects and I’m getting a lot of different answers about this. BTW your home, pool and landscaping is looking great, can’t wait to see the front gate.
Skilled 450 to 500 pesos a day. 350 for labor.
Hello, do you mind asking how many square meters of property you have? Your place looks more and more beautiful everyday.
The property is 1100 square meters. Thanks Bob for watching our videos.
@@buildingthephilippines I'm looking for just about the same amount of property. Somewhere in carcar though. Thanks for the quick response. I know it's late there.
Good luck with your land search.
Once ya have the solar panels in the future those brown outs won't matter.
Maybe some day. Costs are too high for the lithium batteries. Once cost comes down maybe.
Your neighbor is leaving plenty of room in back of the house for the rooster farm.
Lol, could be. There from Russia so maybe a vodka distillery. I like that better.
Truly, a laugh out loud for me.
I have been creating a small lawn of frog grass if I was you I would get a company to come and turf it for you because that is a big area and you need good size turfs with mine it’s all come in small bits that will be a nightmare to plant in such a big area
Yes, I was thinking that as well. I was told there's a company near by. I need to go visit them and what they have to offer.
What about artificial grass in some of the smaller areas
I never seen artificial grass in any of the stores here. Thanks for the suggestion.
Hey guys, you sure about the epoxy in the sun for that concrete? I did the garage and it warns about sunlight. The apron to the garage turned really white and dried bleach looking.
I will be looking at the label before buying. Contractor suggested a certain brand he uses around pools.
@@buildingthephilippines that would make sense. Should be a great finish then.
