106 Days. Lots of progress in the last week. Building on target! Champagne to ice!

Lots of progress in the last week. All the Windows are in but waiting on tempered glass for doors and the window in the kitchen. The rebar is in for the pool and the formwork being readied for the concrete pour.

House project is coming along nicely. Looks like very good quality of work being done. Thanks for sharing.

[@SouthernLeyteAndBeyond]

Thanks, The quality is due to planning and a good engineer and his crew.

[@johnbrown0224]

Looks like its going to be a spectacular house in the end. Good job with the filming too.👍

[@SouthernLeyteAndBeyond]

Thanks a heap John. It's a relatively modest home if I look at where I'm from with the exception of the pool which is an extravagance when so close to the beach but as with many places in the Philippines the beach is great at high tide but a long walk at low tide over the coral. I'm learning a lot about video which is hard compared to still photography.

[@charleshill71]

Y'all have a very nice house there. Thank you both.

[@SouthernLeyteAndBeyond]

Thank you Charles.

[@jmfarrell5]

Great build update… Beautiful layout and very nice tile choice for bathroom. “Come on RAIN” 😊

[@SouthernLeyteAndBeyond]

Glad you like it! updates highly dependent on what else we have on.

[@getsmartz1]

Great quality workmanship, you must be very pleased. The rendering is 1st class. Always more to do but progressing well. 👍🏻😍Lynne & Greg

[@SouthernLeyteAndBeyond]

Many thanks for your kind comments. The quality is great thanks to our hard working engineer and the experienced crew he has put together.

[@getsmartz1]

Greg & I are impressed. Greg built a house for his mother at the beach in Aspendale years ago, so he knows what it takes. Recently he rendered walls for a friends bathroom to help her out. We are hands on renovators with loads of years experience on what it takes. Kudos to your team 😊🎉

Hello from an Australian viewer, lol. Cannot wait to see the house when it is fully built.

[@SouthernLeyteAndBeyond]

Lovely to hear from you Miranda. The target is end June but we both know targets are hard to hit.:-)

[@BCG6963]

You did very well if it is your first time. Love your house layout.

[@SouthernLeyteAndBeyond]

Thank you so much! The layout is based on a relatives local home. but modified for a Western lifestyle. Last home built was over 40 years back so not much practice.

Doing a great job man. Co-ordinating trades and keeping them reliable is a huge challenge. As for materials..... well its very tough. Regards from Ormoc (Melbourne back home)

[@SouthernLeyteAndBeyond]

Ronald thanks for the comments. We seem to end up in Ormoc a lot. I'm an ex-Melbourne boy as well and happy here in the Philippines now.

Grat video, very informative, did you need an attorney to complete your land purchase? I am buyiing in Southern Leyte and am unfamiliar with the process. Thanks.

[@SouthernLeyteAndBeyond]

Yes I did. Buying here can be a major ongoing pain. If you are in So. Leyte drop me an email and I can go over all I've done to ensure all goes as well as possible. Too much to go through via messages.

[@joemelo1372]

Looking to move into the area I was wondering if you knew what land prices are going for right now in your area

[@SouthernLeyteAndBeyond]

Hi land prices depend on how close to a beach you are. There are some lots nearby to me asking for around PHP 2200 per m2 but negotiation may lower that. Very close to a beach and the prices can be very very high. drop me an email to [e-mail] and I can pass contact details for the couple of lots I know about. One is 100 m2 and the other 850 m2 I think.
