- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 ต.ค. 2024
- It's finally happening! After over 2 years of living on Siargao island we got impressive new windows for Chaq Glass Butuan. Mixing the uPVC style we have in the UK with Philippines custom workmanship we finally have glass to be proud of at our little dream off grid beach villa project.
We highly recommend this company, the windows are the best we've seen so far in the Philippines and their price was very affordable.
If you are looking for windows this is their facebook page / chaqglasssupply2009
This isn't a sponsored post or advert, we just felt their work was impressive and good value.
Finally everything is getting better with you guys..It takes time hopefully everything is back to normal again..take care awesome family..🙏😍
Hello family! Silent supporter here since the start of your journey in the Philippines. Glad to see y’all doing better now there. Your daughter Story is such a ray of sunshine to watch.
By the way, just a suggestion, maybe you could request your landlady to put a Storm Shutter, addt’l house protection whenever there’s a Storm. We use that over here in US since we are in a hurricane region, since you live near by beach, it could be useful.
Hi Sha and Jay & Story hope everything works well. Maybe put a screen in the window so that you can open with fresh air without insect going in the house.And in regards of your Solar yes you can download the apps.
Even if I'm so busy lately, I will make sure to watch you guys... I dont know, but since the very first day I watched your vlog, I've fallen in love with your family... I never skip the advertisement to support you, that's the least thing I can do for Story.
Finally the windows are already been replaced. The house looks beautiful most especially the view from outside the window. The scenery of the place is amazing.
Beautiful windows with a view. Watching This channel has inspired me to someday visit this Island. It's on my bucket list. Thanks for sharing.
So glad you were able to get the windows replaced. It's perfectly normal and wise to think of added protection after what you've experienced. I lived in Florida about a block from the beach, east coast and went through a few hurricanes. Nothing like a super typhoon. My cousin and many of my Florida friends invested in metal storm shutters for their ocean facing windows and sliding glass doors as a result. It gave them the peace of mind they needed.
I'm now in Louisiana, to live near my grandchildren, but have moved further from the gulf due to bad storms and flooding. God bless.
Yeees finally it's getting in near there slowly but surely 👍🇵🇭🇬🇧
Siargao is still beautiful even at its worst moment.
Wishing you, Shasha & Story well & Good Fortune at all times!
I saw the video that you made during typhoon Odet. It was horrifying for me to watch and I can't even imagine how you guys felt. I am glad to see that everything is getting back to normal for you guys
Really enjoyed watching your video every day,it’s take away my homesick and stressed
The new windows frame the seascape beautifully. Good tint too so no glare. Enjoy the peace. 🙏😊❤️
hi j sacha story and doggie the weather seems getting nice keep safe always. 👍✌💖🙏🙏🙏
Are those windows bolted or screwed to the concrete? I'm worried that the sealant won't be enough to hold them
That's what I noticed also. the window may be thicker and look sturdier, but sealant is not going to hold it up for long, specially when there seems to be a gap at the top, I'm afraid someone leaning on it can destabilize the glue material that holds the frame and the concrete wall together. Dangerous. Had to be screwed for sure.
Why would they not be fixed to the wall haha wow what a question
It wasn't just the wind that broke your window but the surge and beach clutter and branches that came with them. So pls make sure there are no weak plants or objects by the window /near the house next time. Congrats on the developments around the house.
the reason why you say the wind more stronger now than before its because all the trees around gone due to the past typhoon, I because open the surroundings and it's easily get true the wind directly to the window.
We're happy for you guys that your windows are already fixed , much nicer cozy than before 😊
Rise and shine beautiful island of siargao.
I think just another three more months and Siargao is fully back to normal. Typhoon and other natural calamities has been a part of Filipino life eversince. I salute you guys for fully adopting to it. God bless always.
yes, usually the case when there is less trees and vegetation.. don't worry plants grow fast in the Philippines.
Wow! Things are looking better.👍🏼❤️
Good morning Jay,Sacha, & Story! I’m happy to see your new window installed! But I’m a little bit concerned why they didn’t grill it to the cement frame. Usually it’s grilled first then the sealant applied after.
Yes, actually i thought they havs to grill it and have some screw on the cement to attached it, so its stronger...
I guess grilling is not part of the pricing.
Wow,,nice window,,and the last part with Tanduay Rhum,,thats Filipino style,,specially when work finish at 5pm we call it ALAK SINGKO mean drink at 5pm,,Filipino style,,
It seems funny but that window gave you your most viewed videos😅 or atleast became part of it.
It gave them window of opportunity to earn more $$$$ from views.
Nice 😍😍 The new window adds a good vibe and good lighting inside your house. Keep safe. God bless.
Very happy for you and J I always love your enthusiasm for these things, never lose that mate.
Hi, should also get a windmill so that even at night your battery is still at optimal and won't drain its juice that much.
Ha,ha,ha. A windmill will be the first to go and if you've got solar that will go too. When a big storm comes get the hell out with family.
Hi Jay - you probably noticed and so did I, that they did not anchor the window frame to the wall instead simply sealed the gap with caulk. That is concerning because the caulk isn't strong enough to hold the window frame. Please ask the installers to follow the manufacturer's instructions on how to anchor the frame into the wall. Or ask an architect. Take care!
I am sure the window frame was bolted, not just shown in thevideo. It is impossible to just apply sealant to strenghten the frame specially that siargao is almost always hit by strong winds. The installer knew that fro sure
@@Dongitzclem57 True , if it is just caulking, you push the window and it falls so it is not possible they had not anchored it well. I am sure those carpenters knew their job.
I miss siargao it's so different now ..just like b4 when i live there back 1997
I hope the windows is intact and screws are holding it tightly. Also, i hope the lock inside is safe and will not be easily open from the outside. It looks beautiful though! Stay safe fam!
Nice
story has talent in music. in 2 years, she'll probably have her own youtube channel doing covers
Nice hearing from you Jay....I have been missing you guys. Be safe🙏❤🌹Story is becoming so beautiful...Sha, you look great as well as Jay...
👏👏love things are getting bk to some normality
Nice window, and it still beautiful scenery when you look out the window. Soon summer is coming it’s gonna be hot and muggy. I hope you get over the trauma of typhoon Odette
Take care Guys❤ Take care Story, .Love you Guys ❤
another NO boring vlog, i dont know why im addicted watching you guys LOL thanks keep safe
Hello there 😊😊... I just notice something when they put the window... I did not see that they put a screw or something like bolt on the frame to the concrete that it should have for sturdiness.... Or its just that it was not included in the video? 😅😅😅
That's the good things Abt the phils, evrybody can speek english, full or partial, regardless. it is advantage to u foreigners.
Love you guys thanks for make us updating your lovely stories in siargao journey. Take care always lovely family. From Romero Family in Oman
Hi ! I think it is safer for your Glass Windows to have an AWNING TO PROTECT IT FROM THE WIND and for your Safety! Also , better to have WINDOW METAL SHUTTERS TO PROTECT THE ACTUAL GLASS. I hope that the WINDOW FRAME WAS ACTUALLY SCREWED ON THE CONCRETE FOR STABILITY. Thnx
Worng poh....
U really love Siargao guys,,,
please fellow pinoys and other viewers, dont skip ads and let's help this channel 🙂
I agree! Don't skip ads, they need more money to buy more gadgets. Someone suggested a satellite phone. $$$
@@mannypacu6460 60k Solar System, New windows, New Drone, New Piano for that Kid, Our donation was to help the local people, His Neighbours house is still a Shack☹️ Our money should be helping those Neighbours. Shame on this selfish couple
I have been waiting for your new vlog. Glad to see this 😊
Wow nice window 8 miles from Home.. God bless!! ❤️
Wow... Nice window,, looks expensive and can survive strong winds,, good!
If your house is near the sea coast, that salty wind will rust any non stainless metal in your home faster.
Pls have them secure the windows to the concrete. Sealing around the windows is not enough to hold the windows.
woow big change in the environment...
Massive difference! The house looked bigger and neater with the new windows
Watching from catarman, northern samar, i love your family❤️ take care &God bless you always🥰
It's my first time commenting early, Have a nice hot day everyone!
ive installed windows here in canada and am wondering whether the frame is attached by anything other than caulking. usually screws are used to hold the frame to the surrounding wall. just concerned the window could be blown out of the window opening if another storm should happen. beatuiful windows. good chouice on yr part.
STORM SHUTTERS!
For added protection
Is the owner of the house paying the repairs of that house?
J, i hope they drilled plenty of fixing bolts through the frame into the wall.
Drill holes in the wall around the windows and pound in anchors for bolts with washers to hold up plywood.
Hi Story, I missed your pretty face ❤
Glad that everything is gradually getting better for all you guys..The stress and trauma will be also gone Your beautiful scenery looking good the coconut trees starts to grow healthy again. Everything are becoming normal now at the island. Take good care and be safe to you three and poppy.
Glad all are doing well. Please consider the suggestions for storm shutters. Are the windows bolted to the concrete?
Hello Eight Miles Family 👪 💙. The windows look nice. And I can see the greens coming back . The island 🏝 is coming back slowly but surely it will get there. Happy for you all and everyone there. Stay strong and have a safe one. God bless ✌
Nice window 😊
PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder) from the wind is very traumatic! Your beachfront home is your sanctuary…What a relief! Glad you finally got it fixed…Enjoy your mini luxuries in life! Yup! Nothing lasts forever, so enjoy every minute of it!💕♥️🥰🙏
Cut more coconut near to your house may can damage your solar panel when it fall to your roof if the wind is strong..
God bless you and your family ❤️
Im a filipino from japan, is ur wife okey?
Just wondering did they screw the window frame on the conrete? I
Good day Jay, Sacha and Story, Wow you got your new window frame, beautiful love it, hoping that everyone is doing well now and safe, take care always and keep safe everyone. Thank you
Glad to see everything is going well 🙏 I always happy to see you guy's everyday in your vlog I'm planning to go visits Siargao soon I'm hoping to see you guy's somewhere in the 🏝
GOOD EVENING 8mfh WATCHING FROM 🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵😍😍
Love the view through living room. That window really changed the mood. It reminds you why you stayed on the Island.❤️
Hi there..good morning.
I hope u could consider my suggestion for the windows of your beautiful house. Hence that the windows was destroyed by the strong typhoon. My suggestion was to install a ROLL DOWN STEEL COVER to protect the front window of your house & that includes other windows that was destroyed. Typhoons are very very strong nowadays because of global warming.
I do hope you could consider my safest suggestion.
GOD BLESS.
Happy to see that everything is slowly getting better and better. Stay safe beautiful family. God bless you always 🙏💕
Hi, lovely couple, nice to see a new window installed in your house. Much more safer than before...
It's so healing to see that window going in after the terrifying ordeal you had with the old one.
Good morning 8 miles. I do recommend you all to buy an ebike, etrike, e-car, instead of using the gasoline one. With the rising gasoline price, e vehicles are much sustainable and environment friendly.
How blessed to wake up each morning on such a splendid natural beauty.
those windows are fantastic..and yes to storm shutters!!
Good morning, World!
You guys may just want to look into transparent storm shutters as an added protection and can be installed only during typhoons. Depending on the wind gusts, window strength may not be enough during a storm.
Glad you guys are healing with time! You’re positivity is contagious, thanks for that! ✌️
love the pork chops!
NICE....... MORE VIDEOS.... WATCHING HERE IN DUBAI FROM BOHOL PHILIPPINES
Finally you've got new windows and they look solid! It's nice that it's mixed with tinted ones. The absolute test is when you're having a heavy rain! Hopefully, it will not leaks anymore.Take care guys!
What a beautiful view from your window. Watching from Missouri USA.
Did you guys ever think about adding hurricane shutters to your house to cover the windows during typhoons?
Iam confused... You own that house already?... Just asking
Your new windows with the coconut trees in the background looks cinematic. It feels like Julie Andrews is about to appear singing......The hills...
You need to have Flexseal to seal any leaks. Something good to have at home for leak emergencies. In the US, they board up the windows when a storm is coming. They use 5/8 inch thick plywood boards. It will save your windows and your entire house.
U do have a million dollar view from your window.. ❤
Stay safe always guys praying 🙏 for your safe journeys 🙏😇🇺🇸
Great project and the house is looking great, but...I'm curious, why are you investing so much into a rented house?
The Palm 🥥🌴🥥🌴🥥🌴🥥🌴🥥 tree's are looking so much better! One day at a time.... okay?
I hope they put window sills on the outside. I noticed there wasn't one in the old windows, that's why you kept getting those leaks. The sill protects from and redirects driving rain away from the wall.
What's holding the window frame just the sealant? I didn't see them nail or screw the frames. Just curious.
The beautiful tropical view from your tint windows is a natural curtain view.😍😍😍
I agree that this past year is unusually windy. I'm here in Bicol Region and it was unusual that the northeast moonsoon got really strong and pushed most of the typhoons south.
Hi beautiful family ..
Nice windows ..👍👍
Hello. Looking forward meeting you guys when we're back in Siargao. Hope all things are better now. Tc.
Bless you Family. Save and look after Puppy 🐶 please. Be safe. Love the new upgrade on the house Kubot and all.
