I guess they do, but how many young Americans would climb up and fetch one of those babies/open for you by just asking. Love the culture here and the pure nature at its finest. Thanks for the comment.
Just a quick question… what about the floor of the pool? In the Philippines,they tend to add a fair amount of cement on floors plus tile… it seems to be about 2 inches in my experience…. So, a little better for Wilma.
There's a video on the pool pour. They poured 6 inches of cement with waterproofing mixed in. Then they will skim coat walls and floor with a 2nd waterproofing. Last will be tile adhesive/tile and grout. Thanks for the comment.
HI. IS IT POSSABLE TO GIVE US A COST OF WHAT ALL YOUR HOUSE BUILD ??? IS IT A FIX PRICE ?? . THANKS. ALSO WHERE WILL YOU GET THE WATER TO FILL THE POOL ????
I have heard that happens even for food at the market, and so my Filipina Fiancé will not buy anything from the markets, unless it has a price tag on the items. She knows this is not going to sit well with me, and so she is understanding that the skin tax is a real thing. The Coconut trick and the milk, and flesh inside, I will be trying next year when I make the trip there next spring/summer. My Filipina is only 4’91/2”, so I hope she can swim.
Wilma is 4' 11", so I was concerned when I first seen the pool at 48". 42" water line, so good to go. We love fresh coconut, buko juice as they call it. Yes, need to be aware of the skin tax, especially if shopping alone. Once you know the prices and get to know the locals it basically goes away. Always be aware though. Thanks for watching.
So, Greg, the lesson in buying things in the Philippines is to let your wife do the buying while you are a block away with the cellphone. 😁 Btw, Is there lighting in the pool because I don't see wiring for the lights?
Yes, don't be seen, let the price be agreed upon and then you show up. Thats the process. lol. No wired lights in the pool, will do something like led strip lighting once everything is completed. Thanks for the comment.
Along the back of the DK we will construct the wall one block (short) under the bottom of the roof overhang. That will allow a few inches to vent. We will also install some type of screening there as well. The generator will be under the pergola, but both ends of that pergola is open, so will vent on either end. Thanks for commenting.
Beautiful house Build, absolutely Amazing!! 👍👋
Big thumbs up👍👍fully supported
Thank you for the kind words. We can't wait to move in and enjoy it. Thanks for commenting and watching our videos.
To be happy find someone that has no coconut share the coconut and you will know what happiness is
Thats a good line, I'm going to use it. We get buko juice often as well as banana que, which is my favorite. Thanks for watching.
Enjoyed the coconut instruction. Thank you for sharing.
Fresh coconut nothing like it. Healthy too. Thanks for watching.
Yes skin tax is a huge problem in the Philippines. We all experience it.
Yes, we see it from time to time. Just need to be aware and not be taken advantage of. Thanks for watching.
The circle in the center is good for people with hemorrhoids and for something else.
I will leave that right where it is. 😆 no response. Thanks for watching.
Don't they have coconut in Florida or California?
I guess they do, but how many young Americans would climb up and fetch one of those babies/open for you by just asking. Love the culture here and the pure nature at its finest. Thanks for the comment.
Where are you going to put the pool filtration equipment?
Under the pergola at the back.

We will do a budget video at the end of the build, and we are moved in. Thanks for the comment.

Uncle those chair is kinda expensive I don't think that's fair.
You are correct, too expensive. I will have Wilma try again without me in a few weeks. How are you doing?
I got the SKIN Tax in 1987 nothing has changed.
The dreaded skin tax, some things never change. Thanks for watching.
Yes you are correct. Skin TAX!!! Hahahaha
It's all good, I'm never offended. I just don't have to buy, just move on. Wilma speaks up though, that's fun to watch. Thanks for watching.

How will you ventilate the dirty kitchen and generator!!! Stinky fish smell and gas fumes

Those rattan chairs looks like they’re dual purpose. You can sit on it at the same time do no. 2. on it just for the skin tax BS.😆😆😆
Those chairs are so comfortable, may need to send Wilma or someone else there to negotiate the price down. Thanks for watching.
