Nice huge 'Bahay Kubo... nicely done! You've got some excellent bamboo artisans in your team Texan! I am just kinda concerned about the sand foundation that it may erode quickly as the waves come in during high tide. Hey, post a sign on the coco trees that the 'kubo' is welcome as long as it is taken care of and not vandalized and not to leave trash. Be considerate. Have a great day!
Miss my sunsets, from my place in the Canary Islands. Our long balcony faced west, so would often be out there to watch the sunset. Had two other islands in the view. It was very noticeable over the weeks, watching the track of the sun, setting in different place as the weeks went buy! Occasionally,, would have dolphins playing in the cove below as well !! Talk about paradise!!
Yup, have to be very careful, handling it, can cut , like a razor, noticed , the guy( sorry forget the name!), Strapping the seat bindings, was wearing tough gloves!
Man ! Such a gorgeous evening! If I was there I brew up a nice pot of coffee and do some stargazing after the sun went down. Imagine the night sky is brilliant with stars over there. Enjoy!
Wow beautiful weather & blue skies !!!! Its nice to see you got lots of Talisay seedlings. Talisay trees (Terminalia catappa) are a good defense against strong typhoons.
Looking good Cuz, you just never stop upgrading. Hope that hut lasts out there. You could probably hire Jenny to guard it but keeping it a secret from Mel... good luck with that. ;)
That officially does it! 🙏 #1 shot of the year for me guys! That sunset shot/swinging in the 'hammock' sealed it. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home/life with me. 🙏
James you are an ornery man . 🤣🤣 Tying that poor man's hammer to his saw and what every else you could find.. You are an ornery old boy 🤣🤣🤣 Sounds like something I what do 😜😜🤪🤪🙃🙃🙃😁😁😁 hey I like it's starting to look nice . For long you can have a beach party bro ❤❤❤
I love it. I'm the type who only goes in the house to eat, use the bathroom, shower, and sleep. Other than that, I'm out on my balcony. So I would love hanging out in that structure. I know you'll do your best to keep the area clean.
Hello James & Melinda it's always good to get to see your vedieos & comment . Money shot your not kidding Po it's freaking post card Beautiful dude 😍. QUESTION == James I see you planting the trees there on the beach near the hut 🛖. Does the surf come in that far ? I figure it does when a storm comes in will it hurt or effect the trees if it gets saturated with salt water ?? God Bless yall 🙏& Merry Christmas to all .
I’d walk up to those kids, with a smile, chill with them for a bit and kindly tell them they are welcome to be around. Just, keep the place clean and be respectful. I think they’ll agree
Nah the small usage verses cost of adding more power is not justifiable at this time. You dont want to mix new batteries with several year old batteries. The new ones will not be able to be used to full capacity as the BMS ( battery management ) will only let the new batteries charge the same as the old ones. It's either full upgrade of new batteries or build a second system for the old ones to use separately
That beach hut is coming together and looking really good. I’m guessing it will be the hangout of choice and the community is going to use the heck out of it. They will be talking about you for eons in your little family community James. Hopefully the storms that come your way will be forgiving and only be minimally damaging. Maybe some signs asking them to enjoy but behave …
It is not for the community. Most down through here have their own. Even the squatters make small ones and rent them out to beach visitors. Ours is for rent too. It already has bookings. For those trolls ...... Yes we have permits and business license!
@@TexasFilipino woops, should have known James, re a comment I made the other day, suggesting just what you just said! Lol Btw, up near us on Dagupan beach, they had cottages, like yours, with up to 4 bamboo double beds, plus the inevitable videoke machine!! For overnight rent. But now because of problems, behaviour wise, drugs included. They all been removed, just simpler ones, such as yours now, no overnighting!!
Well I am from Terrell Texas, which is east Texas about 36 miles east of Dallas on interstate 20. I like one year and nine months and I’ll be there with my pension and Social Security at 62. What part of Texas y’all from brother
@@TexasFilipino Holy shit that’s cooler and hell yes, I will be there one year nine months and I’m moving there full-time permanent but don’t let me ask you one question since you’re there I’m going to drive $3600 a month for the rest of my life. Can I live good there? Yes I’m gonna definitely look you up. I thought about moving to Iloilo or Cebu city
@@TexasFilipino hey brother I hope you get this most definitely Terrell 2.0 I bet I know some of the same folks you know You have made this move a lot easier know I know some good old Terrell boys over Brothe I am coming out there in April for 2 weeks sure hope we can meet up that would be badass now dude You are going to be a lot of help for me like some of my stuff I do want to bring with me like a serious stereo system six piece Marantz stereo 45 years old I had completely redone and I can’t replace it so I’d have to bring that. I don’t know about how to do get it there That and my tools damn, if I’m glad I got a hold of you take care and I’ll be waiting on you get back with me
Some teenagers in my Island would climb up the coconut trees and take the tuba (coconut wine) down for the entire gang to drink in the middle of the night. Teenagers can be a big problem in the community.
Hey Dennis Good evening. Things are trucking along here. We took bookings on the Nipa Hut already. A group of well mannered college students are going to do a overnight there with Parental supervision. Their teacher would only bring the best of behaved here like she has before.
Congratulations, you got the approval from the Inspector General aka Ginnifer. Hahaha. Looking good James. Hopefully the teenager's won't destroy anything. You might have to give them a pep talk. Nothing meaningful just a talk how they should respect others property. Keep up the good work. You all take care and have a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
I have lost weight since you seen me. I will have to order new clothes on amazon I guess. I found a leather belt that I am using to keep my pants and cargo shorts up. My other choice is swim shorts and pull the draw string. Some of them I look like a clown because they are bagging on me. Great problem to have.
@@TexasFilipino I can tell it really does work amazing unfortunately for me I gave all my clothing that was too small in boxes to the Philippines to Mays family. I’m gonna have to buy a new wardrobe soon to.
Texan - A Georgian really needs your help. Looking to rent a place maybe a 15 minute scooter ride from downtown Iloilo. I live in Cebu and would like I suggestion on a realtor for the area. Can you please help?
I wont be of any help as I dont know of any places or the people to ask. In our area 30 mins out from downtown Melinda has been able to find some people places.
@@TexasFilipino Thanks for replying. I guess I will head up there at the being of the new year and check it out. Merry Christmas to your and yours and have a Happy New Years.
That is how I view it too. Those tomatoes are wonderful with that naked ribeye. Aw man!! I feel just as good after eating them as I do eating straight carnivore. No gas or bloating and no sugar spikes. I feel right as rain
Everyone has Bamboo Nipa Structures on the Beach. Wealthy Filipinos, poor Filipinos, businesses and all. There is even bamboo structures in the water both directions from us.
@@bienamigo8599 the cement is not meant to hold water back like a seawall but help keep sand from eroding during average storm surf ..as for the locals ,james has actually recieved many thanks from local athorities and other beach dwellers. you obviously have not seen earlier videos where there was no beach and water came up to the boat ramp .. educate yourself before making comments. ..
Sounds like you’re gonna have to have a little discussion with the teenagers or put a PA out there or a loudspeaker when they’re acting up something kids will be kids just like you I did my fair share of things I definitely wasn’t innocent
Maybe putting up some signs to help make the place tidy and clean. Also some trash bins might help.
It’s looking good ❤️
Awesome community fun place and well done 👍.
Put some straps on that roof sir 😉💪🏼
Its nice to have breakfast or lunch there
That’s coming along just fine. Gonna be a crowd down there like bees around a honey pot. Nice job. 👍
now all you need to do is build a stone smoker out next to the hut nice of you to build the new beer tent in the hood
Make a decent size table to set outside up close U know table / bench kinda thing

Beautiful sunset. Never gets old.
I hope it lasts. Any good typhoon or big storm will test it. Looks good though
Looks good enough to sleep there! Nice guys!
You got that right!
Very beautiful I hope it never gets wiped out by a storm cuz I'm going to cry you're a true Craftsman bro
I absolutely love it I can see so much. Fun for all .
I like the budget friendly security guard at the end. I might have to get a few of those myself :)
ITS AMAZING WHAT THEY DO WITH THE BAMBOO VERY CREATIVE I LOVE IT U HAVE GREAT PROJECTS THAT THEY WHOLE COMMUNITY CAN USE
ahhhh....those sunsets!!!!!
Always thankful for the updates ❤.

Make the table moveable
Lots of improvements. I’m sure you’ll never run out of ideas and projects
thats really a art form to know how to tie that bamboo
Yup, have to be very careful, handling it, can cut , like a razor, noticed , the guy( sorry forget the name!), Strapping the seat bindings, was wearing tough gloves!
Man ! Such a gorgeous evening! If I was there I brew up a nice pot of coffee and do some stargazing after the sun went down. Imagine the night sky is brilliant with stars over there. Enjoy!
Very nice. That view deck up high is whats really nice to hang in late at night. I need a telescope!

Wow what a beautiful sunset you guys have over there. Enjoying the videos as always. Happy Hollidays yall!
Awesome video... You two are special together... Thanks for sharing your adventures...
Excellent improvements on the beach front… hope the ocean and typhoon climate doesn’t brake it away.
You're right on time Texas to the Philippines unbelievable transaction

The beach is really high and hopefully semi locked in now. HOPEFULLY! Coconuts, talisay and mangroves will grow in salt water conditions.
I’d walk up to those kids, with a smile, chill with them for a bit and kindly tell them they are welcome to be around. Just, keep the place clean and be respectful. I think they’ll agree
I will let Melinda handle the heavy work like that.
Also, maybe it’s time for an extra battery so you have more capacity just a thought
Nah the small usage verses cost of adding more power is not justifiable at this time. You dont want to mix new batteries with several year old batteries.

Nope James not cheating. That's the idea as I understand it. Find out what does and doesn't affect you negatively.
