Hi Kev and Sella. It is definitely looking great and coming along very well. I am enjoying the water well drilling because I will have to drill a water well also and now I can have an idea of just how long it will take and I will see how they will hook up everything for the water system, so thank you for videoing the whole drilling process. Keep up the great work and I know that you guys are getting excited about closeness to the finish line. Take care and looking forward to the next video. God blessings to you all there and be safe.
It’s really coming along nicely 👍 I’m curious about the fill. No thought of using a mix of gravel and sand? Or is gravel too cost prohibitive there? Maybe I missed it, but how deep are they sinking your well?
messaged you earlier in the build think i mentioned we come over very start of December. hoping to look at a plot about 35 mins out of cebu city, if its still available, quite a large area nearly three hectares in hilly area but nice looking place, thats why i was interested what your budget was for actual build. land IF its still there will be about 8 million pesos, was hoping to build house for about the same or tiny bit less.
Hi Steve. Good luck with your land. If you are going to be the builder/contractor, you should be able to build something close to just over 300sqm. This 300 + sqm would include the house, parking and any porches/patios. These prices are here, local in my area, so your price may vary.
I love the design of your house such beautiful scenary also. I am building in Indonesia also I just purchased my land. Would you mind sharing your house layout or blueprint . Thanks !
@@TheMaplePost-w2pour lot is 2,400 sqm. There is a small stream at the back of our lot that separates us from the rice field. So no, we don't own any of the rice field. Thanks.
Everything is looking great Kevin. How many gallons per minute due they think the well will produced? My new well has a 6” casing, a stainless holding tank that hangs in the well casing. The well pump is on demand so no need for well house etc.. Well technology is really progressing in the US.
Hi, I'm your new subscriber I see when you laid the first row of haloblocks you didn't do waterproofing underneath it. And this is bad because the whole wall will draw moisture from the concrete. It is already clear that there is mold on the first rows. And then all this will go to plastering and will be inside the house.
Thank you very much for your answer And don't forget that waterproofing is very important. I have been working with waterproofing and drainage systems for 20 years and I know what I advise you to do.
It looks great, Kevin. I hope my biggest obstacle will be buying this piece of land. Do you think it is wise to bring construction tools there I have lots of tools, cut off saws, gas, saws I’ve done concrete and build houses all my life I thought about putting it all in a container and shipping it. I checked into shipping, my cars and my trucks. The price was cheap but they were charging me 85% tax on my vehicles.
It took us a while to find this piece of land. I didn't bring any tools due to the 110 220 thing. Bringing cars here gets real expensive. I sold my TRX and modded C7 Z06 before I came.
32:25 hello kevin.. nice progress on the house built. i just noticed the car port beam of 7.7m is supported by cantilever beams. can the cantilever beams and the columns be able to support the load? is it structurally sound? thanks
@@KevinParent248 just to be safe... you need a structural engineer for that info.. you might ask your architect to consult or ask a structural engineer for the cantilever beams load/support, just to be on the safe side. the cantilever beam that its supporting is 7.7m long with cement hallow blocks. Goodluck.
5 more days and we will be leaving New York for the Phillippines. Travel is stressful plannings everything my wife had a stroke and is in a wheelchair also etravel is stressful can’t resister until one day before flight hope the power and internet stays on. Your house built is going good I hope your well go’s well😁
Looks absolutely great. I don’t know if you could have that much built in three months in the US. I hope buying a piece of land is my biggest obstacle. I live in Pittsburgh now. Just can’t wait to get over there and build a good question. I’ve done construction all my life is it worth bringing a bunch of my tools. I do have a cut off, saw welders, all sorts of hand, tools, shovels, concrete tools I thought about putting a lot of this stuff in a large container and having it shipped, I don’t know I shipping my cars. They want to charge 85% tax on the cars. The shipping of cars was cheap. They’re only 2500 apiece.
@@danielsimms3361I love it here. I used to have allot of tools also as I used to drag race semi- professionally. I gave most of my tools to my son. The prices for told here isn't too bad, although I just spent $100 on a good set of drill bits today. The electrical stuff I'm not sure will work without a power converter so I just buy here as I need stuff. I sold my Ram TRX and modded C7 Z06 that made 800 WHP. That would have been fun here. Either way, get your butt here, you won't be sorry.
That’s a lot, but your home over a large area What size block length and width Are the the same . Cost each if you can Thinking of helping someone I need cost
I doubt all the floor can be poured at one time due to its size. Before pouring the floor, we will spray the ground for termites and also lay plastic down to keep the moisture down.
@@KevinParent248 I enjoy watching the process of your build. looks like you have subbed out the roofing. Anything else that you will sub out? Electrical, plumbing? Will you be the one to source all the materials including for the subs and your crew? Thanks we are considering the move from Florida to Mindanao next year.
@@mikec4815thanks. We have hired the roofing guy. A well company to drill the well. An electrician for the electrical work. The plumbing is being done by the foreman. Each contractor gives me the list of materials needed and I supply them. For the finish products, I pick them and get them ordered. Good luck with your move if you decide to.

Thank you. We will be planting in the future so soil will be a better choice. Thanks.

Thank you very much. Look back thru the videos. I did a 2 part video going over the plans. Let me know if you don't see them.

Try shipping your cars as crashed that’s what I do it cuts the price in 3/4 and all I have to do is take off bumpers, light few plastics
@@dante3v83thanks for the tip.

@@user.-_me I'm sure the architect consulted with one if he had any questions. Thanks.
Where do the basins run drain to?
There is a small stream that runs at the back of our property. They will drain into that. Thanks!!!!

Maybe it’s the camera but the rear tie beam in the garage area looks to be sagging. Appears to sag from several video angles. Good progress.
Thanks for the comment. Yeah, it isn't very straight. I will make sure when they finish that area to make it straight.

How big is your lot? Can I ask what you paid per square meter for the land. that’s going to be a beautiful home
This property is 2400 sqm. We got a really great deal at around 1000 per sqm. Thanks.
Hey Kevin , how many block have you used so far
Rebar
Cost ?
Thanks for the comment. We have used something over 6000 blocks. The rebar depends on the thickness. We are using 10, 12, and 16mm.
That’s a lot, but your home over a large area
What size block length and width
Are the the same . Cost each if you can
Thinking of helping someone I need cost
@@StevenFranks-fe8cp I think the 4" is 14 php per.
What is the cost of gravel ( sand, stone, black sand,etc) is it more than US , here in New York it is about $30 per sq. Yard.
Thanks. The black sand is around 700 per cubic meter. The crushed gravel is around 1350 cubic meter.
Are you going to poor the floors at one time so you have no seams that water can come up through or poor per room
I doubt all the floor can be poured at one time due to its size. Before pouring the floor, we will spray the ground for termites and also lay plastic down to keep the moisture down.
At 60 feet. Do they charge per pipe or feet?
Thanks. Per pipe. Each pipe is 20' long. Each pipe if you choose to go that way that way is between 15,000-30,000 php.
hello sir I was wondering how they charge to do the water well
Thank you for the comment. They give you a choice. Either fixed price or by the foot and time.
@@KevinParent248 can I ask what the going foot price is. Here it's 50 dollars a foot
@@franklinindustrialservices4972 if you are the builder, I think you can do it for 25,000 per sqm.
New sub here. If I understand correctly you are the contractor and have hired the crew yourself? Is that right?
Thanks for the comment. Yes, I am my own builder/contractor. The foreman and some of the crew are family. They chose the rest of the crew.
