very nice im looking forward to doing the same thing in the future . my fiancee lives in laguna and we bought 330 of the cheaper blocks for her fence we plan on doing more renovation and probably selling her property to buy land in a nicer area . the material prices have gone way up just in recent years so hopefully we do this sooner than later but time has a way of flying by so we will see . for now we are still waiting our k1 visa , but i think we will end up living in the PH in the end .
Thanks for explaining the costs of materials and everything else this really helps. What type of roof are you installing, will you have a concrete roof for a party deck above the house, or a tin roof? Thanks for sharing.
I'm glad to be a subscriber to the channel. I know that American Brick layers would be going out of their minds, of how your workers lay brick. I couldn't have the gaps that I saw between each stone. Plus, the extra grouting material hanging from the walls. It should be flush! No extra material hanging out!To do otherwise, is a waste of grouting material. between stones. Anyway, use as much, Rebar as you can afford! Plus, look at your viewer ship! Who is watching! Take the time to convert to square feet. Plus acres of land. It shows that you are making a true effort for your American views. Plus, break down the cost at the current conversion price at the time that you purchased material. Usd,UK pounds, euros, etc. You may think that this is a lot of work too ask of you.! But other channels do it. RUclips tells you who's watching and where they are from. So always pay attention to RUclips viewership. In a way, it's your job to break it down for us people who never grew up with the Metric system. I know that because you are living there, you get used to speaking in the Metric System. But I bet most of your viewer ship comes from the US.. Thanks again. Love what you are doing so far. Thanks again.
I used to think the same thing, but when the wall is done,they add a thick layer of cement over the entire wall. It fills in all the voids and adds strength.
@@kevink1214I was also thinking the same. If I were doing it myself, I’d take my time to have all the blocks line up perfectly and do a much neater job with the grout. As long as the end product is strong I guess it doesn’t matter. I’m just so surprised with such a big crew of workers, there should be no excuses for it not looking much better. Are all your workers experienced professionals at concrete-block construction?
I’ve had sulfur water before in Florida. It’s not good. It takes a lot to get rid of it and drilling the rocks. I understand. I hope we won’t have that problem when we build our house in Eastern. Samar
I’m an American I have done a small amount of building near Dumaguete I noticed they’re not tying your your hollow black walls into your posts with rebar. At least it did not look like it. maybe that’s OK but it’s not my style so if your wall falls over your post will still be standing is that the idea?
I keep seeing the people building with seemingly unlimited funds, pools, vibrating machines, real nice amenities. That's not going to be a possibility for me. I'm hoping to be seeing a "normal man with limited funds" build. So I kinda would like to know what your "ballpark" total projected budget is? Not to be nosy, but to get a better idea what I'll be spending. Thanks.

lol drives me crazy also
You having city septic or tank? Love the progress
3 stage septic tank with leech field
@@roseinthephilippines5835 expensive in the Philippines?
Why don’t they drill more wells instead of having water tanks? They still run a pump
due to volcanos all water here is to high in sulfur and can not drill due to so many rocks of different hardness
I’ve had sulfur water before in Florida. It’s not good. It takes a lot to get rid of it and drilling the rocks. I understand. I hope we won’t have that problem when we build our house in Eastern. Samar
What is a comfort room?
Bathroom.
