I'm glad noticing Finn's number of subscribers increasing. I've been a subs way back when he had 100+ subscribers. That's why,I called him my anak because I cried when he cried remembering his mom's illness and death. The school for the girl's shelter in the mountain of Cebu is for his mom's remembrance. I miss those times when he used to wear the magic "yellow short pants"....heheh. That shorts was his golden treasure as his journey in our country begins. You've gone quiet far in life,nak and there's more to go. Opportunities are endless,always call upon the LORD by giving HIM thanks.Cöngrats! The LORD is with you and Sherlyn.🙏
Have a great weekend Finn, Sherlyn & Jake. Wow nice nipa hut good u try to build one of these kind, very comfortable during summer time. So sweet Jake & very obedient.😘🐕Best of Luck. 🙏✌❤
Hello Finn & Sherlyn & Jake! Good luck on your house project.. beautiful underwater video worthy of National Geographic. Have you ever thought of submitting your videos to them? 🎉🎉🎉
FYI you need to build a manmade lake in your space area for storm ⛈️ water 💦 reservoir use for summer season watering grass and vegetable garden 🪴 for green space and beautification it helps a lot I saw a backhoe digging soil in your area you might take advantage the opportunity create a small lake.
Some houses have built a separate type of water tower to catch rainwater. Don’t know how tall the water tower should be or how far away it should be built from the house. Of course there is a cover so mosquitoes or other bugs won’t breed. Purpose? People use to shower in or water plants/trees when their city water stops working temporarily or short drought.
Hi Finn! Talisay tree is a good tree for better shade and falling dry leaves are no problem because they are larger and only few. It has strong resistance to typhoons.
Nipa hut is looking great. Yes that’s a good idea to reinforce that side of your house. Keep your retaining walls strong too. So excited to see your place slowly coming together Finn and Sherlyn 🙏🏻
Finn think about getting a roller to compact the soil next to the walls! The house is coming along nicely.I’m looking into getting the Starlink system here in Balamban Cebu province. I’ll keep watching to see how it works out for you.
It's a nice place.Buiding a house in overlooking is the best for summer season and sightseeing .One good thing are to plant trees preparably fruit trees surrounded in the top for shelters from the heat during summer and to protect the strong winds from the typhoon comes at the same time to protect the soften of soil for landslide in rainy season.A triple purpose initiative.
Hiya. Finn and Sherlyn. Good Morning. The Starlink looks like a great product. That is fantastic you will have wifi on your land. Jake is so cute. Great to see the progress. Thank you for sharing. Gorgeous drone footage. Beautiful underwater footage. Spectacular. Great video. Have a wonderful weekend.
You mentioned using sliding windows on your new home. Please note that unless there are proper seals on the sliding windows you will have two sets of problems - one is that when using AirCon the cold air will leak out doubling your AirCon bill and two, when rain storms hit the water will find its way through the gaps into the house.
Sliding windows are garbage. I put them in my home in the Philippines and regret it. Also they are not strong, leak ac, and rain.. mine are protected inside a entryway and still I hate them..
Strong wind will smash it and if it will happened durung typhoon hide inside toilet witbout glasses like what happened here in Hongkong if wind smashed tve glasses don't know where to hide scary
You putted some really good underwater shot out of nowhere during this video, caught me by surprise, nice clear water. It's awesome to see the evolution of the construction in philipinne, not something we see often. Keep on going, very interesting!
Finn thanks for including your diving in Siquijor…super nice the soft corals! Hope you will have time to upload another vlog on your bluelife channel when you are done with your house project.
@@FinnSnowVlogs Very good. Lightning arresters will help provide some protection to your electronics, while lightning rods will protect your home from fire caused by lightning strike.
Its a fantastic idea that these people shares their opinion how things should be done around your house. Their experienced will save you headaches in the years to come - take note of their recommendation. Having a house is not an easy task. Keeping an eye on so many things around your house becomes nuisance later on, an example of that is the gutter. It should be cleaned yearly to remove leaves stuck on the pan gutters so rainwater drains easily. Windows should be sealed well so mold will not be developed especially when it rains a lot. Water supply needs filter to remove unwanted pathogens - at least. Spray some kind of a solution around the property to deter bugs and other things. As for the water piping, use copper pipe so they won't get rusty. If you get the ordinary pipe, they rust quickly because of the salt carried by the wind from the ocean. Take note of your subscribers' advise - you will thank them later.
Awesome Finn 👍 You know it would be cool if you can start a project wherein you recreate an ancient Norse ship, the kind that sailed to Iceland in the olden days, and then sail it around the Philippines.
Finn, you should look for a good source of water, as the area that needs to be build up should be packed like they do when road building. Failing to do that will turn the dirt into a slurry at first heavy downpour Btw. Heads up on All you have done since I have followed your journey. Best to you 3. The underwater filming is stunning. Cheers from Canada.
Beautiful scenery in the water, and also the build beautiful future house, keep up the good work sir finn and sherly💯💪💖 and keep safe and good health 💯💪💖 GOD BLESS PO 💖💯🙏💪
You make it a point to give careful thought in everything you do, planning beforehand what's best for the land/house. The housebuild is coming along nicely even with some challenges along the way and so is your nipa hut. Congrats on getting Starlink, badly needed esp in the province. That eagle is always making an appearance, I love it! Also, good to see you always have time for your passion which is diving. Amazing dives in Siquijor! Oh! Loved the scene bet Sherlyn and Jake❤❤ very sweet when she said, "kiss mama" to Jake. Thank you guys and have a happy weekend. God bless.
Yes DEFINITELY a retaining wall is need. Solid concrete wall reinforced with columns. Not hollow block, their not strong enough. Good Luck Finn with the upgrade.
finn, the corner of the house is quite near the cliff. someday erosion will drain the upper soil down. u should plant bamboos, coconut, mahogany, etc. to hold the soil from erosion.
You could buy a power inverter plugged it into your pick up truck to convert DC to AC to power up your star link system. You have a generator use it to power up your star link system. The generator can be use to power cement compactor.
“ Rebar”Don’t forget to put a ground for lighting during thunder. Two copper rods underground 8 feet minimum up 10 feet deeps better. Better use the rebars from the foundation 😅
@@dionfield1558 I definitely would, knowing the amount of rain there, without something to hold that steep slope in place….landslide. Also, a giant clumping species of bamboo would help…but that might impede views
@@dionfield1558 I have many giant bamboo, I love the sound of thee creaking and clacking in the gentle wind. You’re right about leaves but they only drop their leaves once a year and it is messy.
Don't use aluminum sliding windows and doors they are not strong for your house and location they have also strong qualities and expensive UPVC in the phils
I totally agree with you @blessedbygod8083, I've been a silent subscriber with Finn and Sherlyn, saw them flourish. the trying times, and then now....building a nest in our country ....God bless you too Finn and Sherlyn........Salamat at Ingatan Nawa ng Dios...❤💘💘💘
Finn , just remember the typhoon there s always have strong wind, kailangan nyo matibay na Roof and Pondasion ng bahay, Kaya nga dapat not to much glass ang bahay Dyan. Atleast you have small basement to hide..
With heavy rains how are you going to prevent that heal from eroding. The reason I'm asking is because it is already loose soil without any root structure in it I think it may be a serious problem.
please suggest finn to your contractor to do soil treatment to avoid pest like termites and ants in the soil of your foundation or before doing floor slab. just make sure also that tie beams are placed. this will hold your house in case of earthquake which is common in Philippines. it is common practice in the Philippines to do shortcuts in construction like hollow first before column or foundation. please watch out. better late in construction finished for as long as quality is not compromised.
Will you have shutters on all your windows to protect your large windows from being blown in by the high winds in a typhoon. At 240 Km/h the dynamic wind pressure load will be 277.49 Kg/m or 277.49 kg per square metre of window area. Window shutters help protect the window from being broken by flying debris and from the wind blowing the window in. So your windows need very strong fixings as do your window shutters. The position you are in is very exposed on top of that hill. So everything has to be designed to withstand the force of the strongest typhoons. The roof also must be very firmly fixed to the walls. At wind speeds of 160Km/h (100mph) the force on a window per square metre will be 123.33 kg for the wind direction being perpendicular to the window. At wind speeds of 240Km/h (150mph) the force on a window per square metre will be 277.49 kg for the wind direction being perpendicular to the window. And finally at 315km/h (196 mph) (the wind speed in that terrible typhoon that hit Leyte a few years ago) the force on a window per square metre will be 478.027 kg for the wind direction being perpendicular to the window. Note that the force is the dynamic wind pressure. I also notice that the hollow blocks you are using are very thin compared to what I have seen in many other building sites in the Philippines. You do have a very nice location with the views at the top of the hill but the down side is strong typhoons.
My opinion your construction needs a good monitoring engineer. For me, it looks behind schedule. Behind schedule means more money will be needed to spend. Just an opinion, you should be starting in house walls by now. Just get a consultant.

No skipping ads as usual for the House on the hill👍😁
Spectacular dive site,beautiful healthy corals!
You may plant Mahogany trees very strong and sturdy trees . protection for strong typhoon and soil erosion.
Have a great weekend Finn, Sherlyn & Jake. Wow nice nipa hut good u try to build one of these kind, very comfortable during summer time. So sweet Jake & very obedient.😘🐕Best of Luck. 🙏✌❤
House building journey.....all the fun and heartaches but very rewarding at the end 😊😊😊😊😊😊
Fins vlog is unique among the rest his underwater vlog is spectacular
❤❤❤have a wonderful day Finn and Sherlyn!
I think you need to build a solid retaining wall prior to filling the area with loose soil.
Congrats on your new property.
yes, they need a retaining wall before they fill the location needed to support the ground from eroding ...
We are looking into it
He needs a serious soil study before continuing the whole footings and foundations. I though this area is more on hard rock mountian.
@@dmcebu is that even a thing in the Philippines? I know you need to do all that here in Australia prior to even laying the slab and footings.
Hello Finn & Sherlyn & Jake! Good luck on your house project.. beautiful underwater video worthy of National Geographic. Have you ever thought of submitting your videos to them? 🎉🎉🎉
I got some ideas :)

True, all depends of the product quality
@@FinnSnowVlogs need to consider also the strong wind and debris during typhoon.
It's true Nicholas, my experience with the sliding windows. And the house location is so open on that mountain top.
Sliding windows are garbage. I put them in my home in the Philippines and regret it. Also they are not strong, leak ac, and rain.. mine are protected inside a entryway and still I hate them..

Just hold on and it’ll all be ok. Same here in usa when we build our house.
A pleasant morning sa lahat❤❤
Expect the unexpected when building a home❤Praying for you Guys ❤
Wonderful to see the home progressing. Love the underwater videos .❤❤
Wow 😲 praise God
Hope you’re home comes a long with out any major problems,,,dive site looks fantastic,,,peace and happiness to you both 😊😊😊😊
Finn I'll always watching your blog 🙂
Wow nice video you must be so excited the house the starling the dive at the end this is paradise for sure👍
That slope is dangerous finn, better reinforce it.
Congratulations again on your new home. Are you considering lightning protection being at the top of a hill?
Yes I’m highly considering it!
You can put a lightning arrester since your lot is in top of a hill.
@@FinnSnowVlogs Very good. Lightning arresters will help provide some protection to your electronics, while lightning rods will protect your home from fire caused by lightning strike.
Iconsider mo rin ang upload speed sana makuha mo mas mataas.
I’m digging the Nipa hut. Awesome video as always. Thanks.
Enjoying the progress. I will be in Dauin May 11-21. Hope to say hello
Wow so beautiful the creatures under the sea thank you Finley for your hard work take care and always be safe 👍👍👍
Great land and build but why build so close to that corner . I would worry about land movement after heavy rain etc.

Good Day finn
Hey Finn, Sherlyn and Jake!😊
Heyy
Awesome Finn 👍 You know it would be cool if you can start a project wherein you recreate an ancient Norse ship, the kind that sailed to Iceland in the olden days, and then sail it around the Philippines.
That would be wild hehe
@@FinnSnowVlogs Definitely, and it could also be a vehicle for climate change awareness and send a message or two regarding the woes of plastics-use.
Bless you :) We always say this here in the U.S. :)
Same in Iceland :)
@@FinnSnowVlogs Cool! I wish you and your wife all the best. I've been watching your house project! Can't wait to see the final! God bless!
We were next door this AM. Looking really good!!!
Tree looks good. Were you ever able to use a pressure washer to cut into the ground to plant other plants?
Finn, you should look for a good source of water, as the area that needs to be build up should be packed like they do when road building. Failing to do that will turn the dirt into a slurry at first heavy downpour
Btw. Heads up on All you have done since I have followed your journey.
Best to you 3.
The underwater filming is stunning. Cheers from Canada.
Hi ....do you make a video about the overall cost of the project when its completely finished?....would be a great help
Beautiful scenery in the water, and also the build beautiful future house, keep up the good work sir finn and sherly💯💪💖 and keep safe and good health 💯💪💖 GOD BLESS PO 💖💯🙏💪
Our house on top of the mountain I have aratilis good and we have massive bamboo make place cool

Your first tree Finn is the place where I lived my entire life "Talisay" 😅😂
Haha
If you have used oil from your car, you can use it to wipe the wood of your nipa hut to make it strong and termites free. Use roller to make it fast.
Yes DEFINITELY a retaining wall is need. Solid concrete wall reinforced with columns. Not hollow block, their not strong enough. Good Luck Finn with the upgrade.
Way to go Finn! ... pinpin de searapim😂❤
Yes so ganda d view d waters d undercreatures..i always enjoy watching
Great video!
❤❤❤
Finn🇵🇭💪 morning
Keep safe
u need to plant more trees and carabao grass on that corner to protect soil erosion
A basement is an added space, as a typhoon shelter/storage/editingroom...just an opinion...
finn, the corner of the house is quite near the cliff. someday erosion will drain the upper soil down. u should plant bamboos, coconut, mahogany, etc. to hold the soil from erosion.
Awesome video Finn
We also waited nearly two years and just set it up in Buluang Busuanga Is.. yeah finally we have internet at our place 😊😊😊
9:10 😍😍😍
I imagine what a beautiful house OMG kuya pinpin i can't wait to see the whole of your dreamhouse❤❤❤
Only thing to worry about there i think is WATER & TYPHOON
Unlimited water and that’s why we are building strong house
Whoaw fin actually reply😆
Unlimited water?
Must be a spring water there
Usually in the mountains water is a problem
Id watched another blogger today...and I enjoy it..new sub here

Retainer walls and riff-raffing to prevent the foundation soil from sliding.
Some one said starling only costs $45 in philapeans
3k pesos
Yay!

Wow I miss my home town Siquijor..glad tht I saw this video.. the corals are amazing..b safe pinpin & team the lady wakwak hahaha😂😂😂

With heavy rains how are you going to prevent that heal from eroding. The reason I'm asking is because it is already loose soil without any root structure in it I think it may be a serious problem.
I 3rd you need to get serious with a retaining wall on your sloped corner that needs all the extra fill.
