I honestly can feel his very happy when things are done properly.. what i mean by properly is the way things should be done...Godbless the crew and to all 😊
Provide sewage treatment plant for household. Septic tank pollutes ground water unless it's leak proof but obviously it's not the way it's constructed. Water coming out of the septic tank shall be treated before going to canals, streams, etc. Dept of Environment and Natural Resources is strict about waste water disposal.
Great job on using that type of form for the columns that's the correct way to do them and avoid imperfections and blowouts all the videos I've seen on construction in the Philippines they used plywood and u can see imperfections in dimensions of the columns .👍🏼👍🏼
1. Embedding PVC pipe inside a a Concrete Column is a bad practice. 5yrs from now that pipe could leak. Structurally it could ruin the Column. 2. Ties must be Closer than the actual.
Looks good so far but I am amazed by the thickness of your floor slab, It looks like it is not to thick or deep. I am building right now over in Santa Maria and I need a 4 inch deep concrete slab.
I am having the same problem with my workers in the Philippines. They seem to forget to put mortar between the blocks..... Sad that is where the strength is.
manuel bartolme, Fiberglass and Basalt rebars are not available in the PH. Epoxie coated are but at twice the price, Galvanized available on special order. Steel in pure water barely rusts because the oxygen is depleted in the concrete and not replaced. Water penetration is approximately 4CM and the rebar minimum is 3 bar diameters from the surface so out of hygroscopic water. More important is having clean water and sand without salt which creates all kinds of havoc. We put a light coat of alkalid oil based paint on our rebars because we bought large quantities that could rust before use and to make them recoverable if stolen. Never had any problems with theft. Polyethylene sheeting we shipped from the US when we were on vacation. It cost P400 per roll for shipping in Balicbayan. This material exceeds the thickness allowed for plastic sheeting and plastic bags. We are now buying the used plastic sheeting that comes on Maylasia dimensional lumber and other bulk shipments. It is 4 X 6 meter sizes and costs P150 each. Seems well suited to block ground moisture and radon gasses. Water in concrete equals the weight of the cement. The water or dampness in the sand and gravel is part of water weight and varies day to day. Another problem is that usually the agrigates are bagged ahead of time and can be rained on (into the bags). We use a trained mixer operator who throws a splash of water when the mixer comes back over to him then 2 gravel, the cement 2 sand and the last gravel He puts in water about every 2 bags of material then mixes 3 minutes, looks in and throws a couple cups of water. The finisher gives feedback about how he is doing and if something is to dry or wet they place it on top if wet or bottom if dry. Before you insult your intelegence, I am an engineering graduate (university of Pittsburgh class of 1970) with 48 years experience. I also admit I can't spell worth a flip. You see the septic system is next. You might want to give guidance about entry, transfer, and exit port relative heights and venting locations. Thank the Lord for another glorious day in paradise. george and aurora
Sir.... That's why I said other countries...The only pure. Water I know is distilled water.and medical saline solution???.Even rainwater is contaminated by atmosphere...Pure water is even an electric insulator or will not conduct electricity...But no one use pure water in concrete..
One a second thought...Iam worried about size of their septic...Ok for a couple and a dog...Having lived half of my life in the Philippines...extended family member means a bigger septic tank...I prefer three chambers...Iam worry that is too deep that water may rise up in typhoon season..Looks like their lot was a former rice fields??
I’m enjoying watching and in the process of building in Luzon. I’m having my well dug and then the septic. What was the dimensions of you hole? And how much can I expect to pay you think?
10months from november or maybe a year. Who knows theres always delay when building but we wanted to move in july or august as our contract in apartment is done by August
why are you placing pvc pipes inside the section of the column? outdated practice....your reducing the strength capability of the column..and i think the lateral ties on those columns arent that as many...
@ 3:24 Never put a pipe inside a reinforced concrete column. The reason for this is that you'll be compromising the strength of the column by reducing the volume of the concrete that the pipe took up. Second, that inside pipe will cause a lot of trouble for you in the future. If there will be a leakage on that pipe, you can never repair it and if water leaks, it will corrode the steel reinforcement. @ 15:19 If this video would be seen by your local building official you'll get into hot water because by law a standard septic tank has 3 chambers.
Embedding 4 inches pipe on cmu block wall is questionable. Minimum cocrete cover will not be met. Your CHB should have a minumum of 800 PSI compresive strength, if not your contractor is using sub standard chb on your house. You mentoined 500 psi if i am not mistaken. I can see they are installing the missing column ties, however, the mising ones on tie beam left uninstalled and poured. On septic tank, they should poured the bottom slab first before laying out the chb walls. I don’t see the guy holding a measuring tape when he place the column ties, they just guess the distance.where are the rebar for the floor slab on septic tank. Placing the form on clumn with the missing column ties on the upper portion of the column closer to the beam.
Oh i see, so its like design and build package service. Its good. saves a lot of time and money 👍 In some practice we hire a separate team of architects so it may countercheck the works of the builder/contractor but it seems theres no need for that bcos your the one’s playing that role already. cant wait to see the completion of the house.
Can you please share us who your contractor is and what is the name of the subdivision you are building your house at. Also estimated cost per square meter. Thanks.
Sorry if I missed it but I’m in Dumaguete Philippines and going to buy 200 sq meter lot and start building and have know idea on cost yet. Is building material expensive?

Hahaha supposed to be retired but still tired. Funny hubby kabayan. Thanks again for showing how to build your septic tank.

You guys are making good progress now.
I see more professionalism and workmanship on your site than I saw @Villa Feliz
Better than Villa Feliz...but need more improvement...
Great video
Great job on using that type of form for the columns that's the correct way to do them and avoid imperfections and blowouts all the videos I've seen on construction in the Philippines they used plywood and u can see imperfections in dimensions of the columns .👍🏼👍🏼

Wow that is so awesome

a learned lot on this vid :)
Right on, love the construction vids.
Looks good so far but I am amazed by the thickness of your floor slab, It looks like it is not to thick or deep. I am building right now over in Santa Maria and I need a 4 inch deep concrete slab.
Some part of it is 5” mostly 4” concerete
Those Phenolic boards are a lot better than the ply, especially the Chinese ply. Taking shape 👍👍👍
I am having the same problem with my workers in the Philippines. They seem to forget to put mortar between the blocks..... Sad that is where the strength is.
Glad we are present too to see everything
Big up man good video 👍👍

Better you do septic tank..Not much experience there...If any..old school Philippines....We use here pre made or fabricated septic tank.... ..

How is the septic system emptied when its full is it pumped out
I’m enjoying watching and in the process of building in Luzon. I’m having my well dug and then the septic. What was the dimensions of you hole? And how much can I expect to pay you think?
Great work, it appears to be moving along. When is the projected completion date?
10months from november or maybe a year.
Who knows theres always delay when building but we wanted to move in july or august as our contract in apartment is done by August
It is cheaper and strong to use solid concrete than hollow block...
why are you placing pvc pipes inside the section of the column? outdated practice....your reducing the strength capability of the column..and i think the lateral ties on those columns arent that as many...
16mm rebars for the septic tank, that won’t fall apart I think I used 12mm. It’s good to be overboard rather than under board. 👍👍👍
Filipino style of building 😁👌
That's better

Sana may makakapansin po how much magagastos for septic tank

Continue to fabricate column ties with wrong hooks bends of 90 degrees notb135 degrees
Looking good 👍 what branch of service was you in. I am retired army with 10 years Navy USA. Where are you building your house at?
Navy,lipa batangas is our house building
Hi, loving your episodes. Who prepared the blueprints? Did you hire an Architect for this project?
We hired contractor
Oh i see, so its like design and build package
service. Its good. saves a lot of time and money 👍
In some practice we hire a separate team of architects so it may countercheck the works of the builder/contractor but it seems theres no need for that bcos your the one’s playing that role already. cant wait to see the completion of the house.
Can you please share us who your contractor is and what is the name of the subdivision you are building your house at. Also estimated cost per square meter.
Thanks.
email me:retiredandhappyinphilippines@gmail.com
How much did it cost for the construction of the septic tank?
Septics are some of my most poppular uploads. Poo pays lol
Haha
Sorry if I missed it but I’m in Dumaguete Philippines and going to buy 200 sq meter lot and start building and have know idea on cost yet. Is building material expensive?
Neal Ayers not bad they did a littlw increase because of lockdown
What kind of board used to the post to form the cement?
Phenollic board
Hi...what’s the size of your steel bars used for your posts? Thanks
We use 16mm (8pcs)12mm (2pcs) total of 10
Plus 10mm for stiraps
What are the dimensions of the septic tank?
Is this in Lucena City? St. Jude Village?
In Lipa batangas
Retired and Happy in Philippines oh ok. Looks so similar to where I used to live
Can you tell me what your labor cost is are you paying them by the day or contract ?
Usually in province cost 300 peso a day , we doing also a construction now we pay our people 500 a day plus free food
Is that your house. Or you are the architect
Our house
Wtf drainage pipe inside the column
What did you retire from ?
Navy
Septic tank = yank...
Cockney rhyming slang
i don't understand the importance of a plum sewer wall !!!! silly.
