Just subbed to Tim's channel. That's simple but yet good enough house. Sit back and enjoy. I could sit and chat with you'll for hours on that porch. Thx Tim and Mike!
7:33 That's a good size crack above the door. May want to patch that up for a bit more improvement on insulation. Every bit counts. FYI.. toss a strip or rubber on the bottom side of the back door.. Cold air will pour out of that.
It was very interesting to see your video shots of Tim and Melanie house. I heard your conversation with Tim about the CHB (Concrete Hollow Blocks) made and or locally manufactured in Iloilo. There are several reasons why those CHB fall apart when you pick it up. 1. The sands that were used to make those CHB were not thoroughly clean and it contain small percentage of soils dust, thus when it is mixed with cements the bonding cement loses its firm hold with the sands, and at times the cement to sand ratio is low in cement. When I was working back there in Passi City , building the whole Passi Sugar Central, back in 1969, I worked with Honiron Phil. Inc. an American Company based in Hawaii (Honolulu Iron Works) Mirrless Watson from Glasgow England was the consultant. We used washed crushed gravel and sand free of soil contaminant in all concrete work, the same are true here in the United States,
Great vlog. I'm a subscriber of Tim's channel. I liked watching his house being built. Good to watch the interaction of the two of you. I will see y'all in 2019.
Enjoy watching the video! Makes me feel anxious to go home in Bacolod for good and build a shipping container house(our dream house! 😉)Will show this to my husband.
Hi Mike Tim is a nice guy I went a subed to him and so far I watch the Intire house build they did there he is right those bricks just crumbled with his hand, I think it was a good idea he just let them go and do there thing instead of getting involved and making it stressfullike I was telling Tim it's so very different how they build things there compared to the way we do but hey it works , thanks for the video ☺
Hi Mike I only hope that once completed mine will be as nice though I'm limited on space as you know, taking longer than I imagined but time ,labour and funds as you know, but I learned some interesting points thanks for the link to Tim's channel. Great vid as usual. See you around the way,keep up the great work buddy, really really enjoy your content.
Hi Mike, Another great video. Tim he has a really amazing place. It's a really good to live in the Philippines and having an idea. Nice one Mike good one another enjoying video to watch. God bless you Mike and Gaile.
I subscribed to him yesterday after watching your video. At least his wife likes yellow paint, my dad if he was alive he would have his house painted all pink. Glad it's only in his bedroom and bathroom.
Seen from a helicopter, how funny. That yellow is baby shit yellow. Tell him to watch out...Melony has babies on her mind. That house sounds strong.Thanks for this series.
Im also dis apointed on how hallowblocks are made there, i suggest for those who are planning to build house there, if have the effort its better u can make it by urself for better blocks, but anyway its nice house, green surrounding,enjoy life sir..
I love Tim's attitude in this video he said quote " I'm not the owner of the home but I doubt she is going to kill me for this little house " hahahaha that is just classic expat stuff right there.
Im an expat too working here in DRC-Congo now 6 years in mining company im planning to have my own native house in ph & look for land somewhre in highland in Negros Occidental for organic farming.
When you talked about the guy being down in the well digging it out, made me laugh and think, "Did they leave him there when the well was finished?" It reminded me of back when the farmers used to use an old horse or mule when filling a silo. They would put the animal inside the silo and have it walk round and round packing the silage until the silo was full. Then they would kill it and dump it over the top. That later was stopped when the animal activists got involved.
Hi Mike. On my other channel I featured you on a video called Philippines Vloggers Update. I hope you like it. I did mention you are my favorite vlogger! If you don't like it, let me know and I will refrain from mentioning your channel. Thanks Mike. I really love your traveling videos especially.
Another of Tim's remark about the relationship with Melanie that's noteworthy of quoting on 8:26 "We're married and I doubt that she's gonna kill me for this house."
My Philippine Journey .looks like the standards and quality department in the Philippines doesn't do their job well. the plague of all the third world countries (corruption )
Another nice video and your lady has a lovely personality. I dated a girl in Luzon and she was not very talkative, and I'm no good at mind reading so it didn't work out. :))
+My Philippine Journey That's impressive. How long did you chat in store before you gave your number or took hers? or did you arrange a date on the spot?
This is a "dump in the bush". And yes I have taken a few dumps in the bush. In my youth, not now. Now I need creature comforts, even luxury. For me a dump in the bush is "out of the question"....
HAAAAA. he is funny... 8:33 "I have a real nice set of knifes if she wants to kill me"....HAAAAA. Smart man. Keep the knife sharp, a dull knife will hurt Haaa.
Hi could you tell me about your window s My girlfriend wants windows she’s telling me the $450 apiece there about the same size as yours how much do your windows cost ?
My Philippine Journey So I went back and I asked her what was up and to my surprise It’s $400 Some odd dollars for all five windows that’s needed for the house so she’s not a Golddigger and she’s the best thing that’s ever happened to me in my life I love this woman with all my heart I’ve never had anyone that’s been so good to me I’m coming to the Philippines to marry her I will never be without this girl I’m completely happy with her thanks for the information now I know I got a good one
My Philippine Journey I really like this incredible woman and I’ve never met anybody like her before and her and I just click together it’s like amazing I should be over there within 20 weeks I hope! I plan to live over there for the rest my life and travel from there other places!
Yep, I hope all foreigners know that they cannot own property in the Philippines and they have to be very vigilant who they trust. There are con men/women everywhere.
karl ritz No Karl, almost all businesses and homes have bars in the PI. I don’t remember any place not having bars save the poorest Sari Sari stores. They just board things up. Anyone can be targeted. In actuality, if the police catch someone who robs a foreigner, he’ll be in a lot pain waiting for prosecution. Foreigners pump money into the economy. Look at how many people who profited in business transactions, and he has a house for a family. You hurt a foreigner, you better hope the police catch you as opposed to the people.
Ahh ok...I grew up to all of that stuff and I miss it since they don't sell some stuff here in Cali. Only thing I can't eat is the bitter melon and the durian fruit. Everything else all good.
I really like the area Tim lives in, nice and flat. It is small but very nice home and I do love the out side porch.
It must have been a big job carrying all the building materials down the path. Nice video.
I enjoy all of your videos. Thanks for taking us along to see Tim and Melanie's home. It's definitely a dream come true.
Oh, it's a cute bright looking house in a cozy place.
That's a very nice place in the woods. You have been around water often in your life. I like how Texans say "sea-ment".
Just subbed to Tim's channel. That's simple but yet good enough house. Sit back and enjoy. I could sit and chat with you'll for hours on that porch. Thx Tim and Mike!
I am so happy for you for being in Paradise, called Philippines! Life is wonderful!
7:33 That's a good size crack above the door. May want to patch that up for a bit more improvement on insulation. Every bit counts. FYI.. toss a strip or rubber on the bottom side of the back door.. Cold air will pour out of that.

Tim was right. Hollow blocks are intended to form the structure and then cover with concrete.

Your welcome Mike and Gaile take care both, god bless👍👍
They must use extra cement in there concrete mix to make it so strong....
Hi Tim @ 8:58 I can hear Tayo'y Magsayawan by VST & Company ;) ...... Melane might know,,, Cheers!!!! BTW do you listen to OPM?
I see a few empty bottles of Tanduay around 2:40
The average quantity of bricks per bag of cement is 60, 25 per bag makes a good block
Simple living like filipinos. 😍😍😍
I subscribed to him yesterday after watching your video. At least his wife likes yellow paint, my dad if he was alive he would have his house painted all pink. Glad it's only in his bedroom and bathroom.
I think it's the Spanish influence. Spain like bright colors.
The house color looks good
awesome, Iam retiring next year considering the PI for retirement
mike abner hi sir mike
They make hollow block 60 to 70 a sack if you can order 25 to 30 a sack then you have good hollow block
Build everything in the philipines.
Seen from a helicopter, how funny. That yellow is baby shit yellow. Tell him to watch out...Melony has babies on her mind. That house sounds strong.Thanks for this series.
Hi Mike, where can I watch video #3

Im also dis apointed on how hallowblocks are made there, i suggest for those who are planning to build house there, if have the effort its better u can make it by urself for better blocks, but anyway its nice house, green surrounding,enjoy life sir..
I love Tim's attitude in this video he said quote " I'm not the owner of the home but I doubt she is going to kill me for this little house " hahahaha that is just classic expat stuff right there.
They don't use sand in the bricks. They use old bricks instead. Recycled weak concrete powders and cracks where sand is less crushable
Hi guys you have a nice vedeo appreciated for sharing it
Im an expat too working here in DRC-Congo now 6 years in mining company im planning to have my own native house in ph & look for land somewhre in highland in Negros Occidental for organic farming.

My Philippine Journey .looks like the standards and quality department in the Philippines doesn't do their job well.
the plague of all the third world countries (corruption )
Another nice video and your lady has a lovely personality. I dated a girl in Luzon and she was not very talkative, and I'm no good at mind reading so it didn't work out. :))
+My Philippine Journey - I hear ya.
where did you meet your current lady?
+My Philippine Journey - Amazing! She was a worker there? What's your top tip for picking up a lady in a public place?
+My Philippine Journey That's impressive. How long did you chat in store before you gave your number or took hers? or did you arrange a date on the spot?
This is a "dump in the bush". And yes I have taken a few dumps in the bush. In my youth, not now.
Now I need creature comforts, even luxury. For me a dump in the bush is "out of the question"....
Can I ask how much approximately it would cost to build a house like that there in Peso Mike?
Ok thanks for the information Mike much appreciated.
Excluding the land Mike? I mean 400k for materials only?
In a different video, he said it was like 360k with material and labor.
HAAAAA. he is funny... 8:33 "I have a real nice set of knifes if she wants to kill me"....HAAAAA. Smart man. Keep the knife sharp, a dull knife will hurt Haaa.

Do you have stress?
It's difficault very small road
Hey Mike, I think the thumbnail here is what prompted me to lose weight... 😝
So, thanks for that, I guess ha ha
Glad the videos are doing well. Good luck with the weight loss... sometimes it needs to be done... You better listen to your doctor, though. 😀
No. I mean, health is good and all... but not at all costs.... But do try to take it easy. 😀
Tito Tim's Videos hi tito can you be my friend here
Yep, I hope all foreigners know that they cannot own property in the Philippines and they have to be very vigilant who they trust. There are con men/women everywhere.
Bars on the windows....?

Mike Jackfruit as no foul odor it's the durian fruit similar to jackfruit that smells badly. I don't even like the taste of it.
Ahh ok...I grew up to all of that stuff and I miss it since they don't sell some stuff here in Cali. Only thing I can't eat is the bitter melon and the durian fruit. Everything else all good.
Why yellow? So that the helicopter helicopter can easily see it. Hahhaha
Sale on yellow paint.
Why would you build a house and put it in someone else name?
So than why build the house?
Is there a legal document that retains his right to live there?
To hell with the tree.....whos the Chick?
You can’t be paying 8 grand a month mike
