Christin and I check in on her parent's home build. We then take Tucker for his first successful hike up the hill above our house.... He didn't quit this time!
Tim, this is a great channel. I have a curiosity. I lived somewhere in Europe where they speak English about as much as in Philippines, Malaysia, etc., but I focused for just 18 months and became totally fluent in the local language - to where I didn't speak English all day. It caused a transformation and I had tremendous success over 8 years, I was often the only foreign guy invited to social events with senior management. My wife was also American so we had to work hard to learn the language. More recently, I was working in Kuala Lumpur for about a year and I did not focus and only learned casual Malay (and in fact, more Tagalog and Bengali at the bars than Malay). Ultimately, a colleague who was fluent in Malay, also an expat, took over the work and the project. I see you asking your wife "What did they say?" and I'm left with some question marks. I know by experience that speaking the language of where you live is essential for being "at home" where you choose to live. Learning Tagalog would be so easy. Learning Chinese or Japanese would translate to regional relationships that might be tremendously satisfying, and these two are immediately in front of you. When I was fluent in a central European language, I noted a great number of colleagues with casual language capability that had boundaries every day in their experience that were simply lifted out of the way for me. I did a project in Tokyo where some caucasian Americans that were totally fluent in Japanese were clocking it, and I met a number of Filipino women who were totally fluent in Japanese as well. Could you do a video about Tagalog, language in general, your success/frustration with it, whether it is actually necessary, whether you think you will be fluent some day, etc?
You would think that they would cover the wood from the rain. The carpenter that built my house kept a tarp on the wood and supplies all the time. I hope that the electrician is cheap for you guys. I just paid last Wednesday 7,000 pesos for 5 lights, a refrigerator outlet and 3 regular outlets installed. That's materials and labor. So it really wasn't that bad on cost. Take guys.
Tim and Christin, If you are looking for property it has all been surveyed in 1983 by the PI government. Dependent on local cooperation and politics you can view the tax declaration at the baranguy tax office which is only good for getting the parcel number. The sq meters never add up to reality. Any licenced surveyor will have access to the CAD drawing of the province with all the parcel numbers and the accurate sq meters size. There is also a "technical description" which is the location of all the survey points of the parcel. The surveyor can get the name of the legal owner from the baranguy tax office and see if back taxes are owed and how much the amount. We have never been charged for any check by the surveyor who will include it if hired to do the physical survey. The survey includes sinking concrete markers with his initials cast into the top. Often there are already markers lost in the underbrush which are found during a resurvey of the technical description. The only person who can sell your wife the property is the one listed as owner on the tax declaration. If other people or relatives try to get involved or want paid just walk away. george and aurora
Tim thank u for sharing family moments, Crissy is a trooper & Tucker is a natural bad a..! Crissy seems to take care of most everything Tucker, Dale, dresses nice for u & not a complainer. Hope ya'll still get to build on that hill. Good luck & God bless
Tim k, Wow! Chrissy looked gorgeous on her dress and her smiles make your day wonderful. Thanks for the house build update for Chrissy parents. I missed baby Dale so much sending my love from Jeddah KSA. ❤😇🥰👍🙏
I've also gotta mention the masonry and well it's different from the West that's for sure. As in many Asian cultures. Function is first fit and form not so much. I wish I was there with my trowel, level and tuck pointer.
Hello Tim, Chrissy and Dale.. Glad to see another video. Oh, Chrissy telling her childhood memories makes me smile with her. She has beautiful smile and the dress is pretty. Very nice walk with the dog. You both have a great week out there! Enjoy👍🏻🌹❤️🇺🇸❤️
The secret for uninterrupted construction is build a scaffolding, columns and beams first to hold the trusses and finish the roof. When bad weather comes, heat or rain, you can continue your work inside. When the roof is built, you can just plumb the walls from the beams and erect the wall/partitions and floor.
Beautiful smile and teeth. If you are building your own house or the in-laws, the best decision you have ever made rather than renting. In the Philippines, the stronger, unified the family is the better. It's the foundation of a great culture that must be embraced and accepted.
@@joseroldan7392 Could be. Some spoke pretty well. The girls who came from the barrio or province understandably were limited in English. But, the girls who had been there a while or the on base workers were pretty good with English.
I was wondering, too - never saw a plumb being hung anywhere to assist with the vertical alignment.... Not even a 'tell-tale' string having been run to hand the plumb line from.....
It's concrete hollow blocks (CHB) stuffed with concrete of class "B" or class "A" mix on the hollow centers reinforced with vertical bars and horizontal bar reinforcement. It will be covered with smooth or textured Cement Plaster (mix of cement and sand) later. Some people call them "rendering". By the way, the correct word they use is "Plaster, Plastering". Rendering is unheard of except putting depth on the drawing, exterior view, perspective view and that's what it is called in in the world of Architecture. CHB is not brick. It's how they do initial wall construction in he Philippines. It's not like in the US that the wall is considered finished after the stacking of the blocks. You may see some other unfinished walls like that in the country but there is the reason for that. They don't have enough funds to do the plastering or the funds are used in some construction inside the house and they just disregard the exterior finish.
they sure take their time working on that house they should have it under roof by this time and working on the inside it is a small house even with working with hand tools it seems a little slow I hope they are by Christmas it looks like you and Christin are doing a I love to see Dale he is always smiling all the time good luck to your family
With my Western ways I can’t help but cringe seeing kids run and jump around a building site with Rebar everywhere. When in Roam 🤷♂️ .. Chrissy is so innocent and sweet. Nice story.
Construction such like this is Always a great playing ground for kids- also hide and seek. It’s another place free for them where/how they learned common sense because all are kids- who could think freely.
That’s so interesting. I would like to hear more of her talking about her experiences meeting and talking with foreigners there a dive resort. Like how she perceives them. And what they talked about.
She is the light of the philippines.a lovely dress and smile and absolutely gorgeous.the house 🏡 it's coming along.but I have to say I adore the pad that you are in on the beach.just saying.now I do live in Florida on the gulf coast of Mexico so I love the water.lol
Great dress. It is so colourful. It has a traditional feel to the look. Has Christin ever worn a dress again or does she need a new outfit for each video?
It’s hard to believe that tin is a mommy now, still the same petite woman as when you guys are still boyfriend/ girlfriend back then, now you have handsome little Dale already... so sweet.... I’m so jealous that you live there and I can’t even go back home without any Visa, after 35 years living in the states I’m excited to go back, but would feel like a stranger cause of the changes... maybe one day, just one day... you guys are awesome couple, take care of each other and Dale, keep safe... May God bless the whole family
Hi Tim and Chrissy. The wood is hard wood Tim, the ants don’t eat it. Lots has happened Tim, the bond beams and the stairs are almost done. The block work will be plastered and you will not see the rubbish laying lol. Also Tim I don’t mean to be picky but it is perfect that Tucker likes being with Chrissy. Chrissy and Dale have protection, I like that. Also Happy to see you go back to see the family on the farm with Chrissy. Cheers from New Zealand
Nice view from the top of the hill where Tucker was claiming as his. Nice area but no utilities & water. 🤷♂️ Still a nice area to take your dog and get some exercise.
I worked as a Masonry helper, those walls are horribly made. What’s up with the joints between the cinder blocks? It only takes a couple of seconds to smooth out the joints. Thumbs up 👍 for the video though!!
Hey Tim great seeing another video from you but can I ask you a few questions One is how can that low grade wood cost so much I mill my own wood here at my home with my Alaska 111 sawmill and the wood I mill is much better quality Also what are those red tubes hanging from the roof beams for? Also in my life I was a brick layer and I just can't understand why they didn't fill in between the bricks but anyhow its nice to see that million dollar smile of crissys and wow tucker is getting really big Well we here are always looking forward to seeing your videos keep up the great work and we hope that someday we can meet you and the family 👪 😊
Blocks are mostly used due to it's durability, availability, cheaper compared to wood and most of all, a deterrent for termites. Tons of termites in the Philippines. Most construction now, uses steel trusses to avoid termite infestation.
Tim, Be very proud, the first view in this video was Crissy In that beautiful dress. Very Lovely, wish I could get my wife of 30 years to wear dresses like that daily.👍🇺🇸
@Matthew Johnson What's the difference between a girl living inland and a girl living near the ocean? You get to enjoy the ocean more while you're there?

Your living in an absolute paradise even though i can see some aggravations with how some stuff works there its still a kool place enjoy it buddy!
when you showed the dog relieving himself i relieved my self of this video ))
Always nice scenery. And the house looks like it’s coming together nicely.
You would think that they would cover the wood from the rain. The carpenter that built my house kept a tarp on the wood and supplies all the time. I hope that the electrician is cheap for you guys.

Tim do the math that's cheap for all that wood even for the Philippines. Oh by the way thanks for taking care of my dog until I get there.
Tim thank u for sharing family moments, Crissy is a trooper & Tucker is a natural bad a..! Crissy seems to take care of most everything Tucker, Dale, dresses nice for u & not a complainer. Hope ya'll still get to build on that hill.
Good luck & God bless
Crissy is getting beautiful everyday ilike when she smiles
house is coming along nicely. can't wait see it finished.
Thanks Tim . Every Sunday I need to see you guys !
Tim k, Wow! Chrissy looked gorgeous on her dress and her smiles make your day wonderful. Thanks for the house build update for Chrissy parents. I missed baby Dale so much sending my love from Jeddah KSA. ❤😇🥰👍🙏

Chrissy dress is beautiful Tucker is really growing... Your wrong Tim kids make the video... Thanks for sharing... Much love... Stay healthy and safe
I've also gotta mention the masonry and well it's different from the West that's for sure. As in many Asian cultures. Function is first fit and form not so much. I wish I was there with my trowel, level and tuck pointer.
When it gets done im sure it will be a nice home for all.
I want to see Tim with Traditional philipino clothing
Lol! Traditional Shannon!
Hello Tim, Chrissy and Dale.. Glad to see another video. Oh, Chrissy telling her childhood memories makes me smile with her. She has beautiful smile and the dress is pretty. Very nice walk with the dog. You both have a great week out there! Enjoy👍🏻🌹❤️🇺🇸❤️
Chrissy is sooooo beautiful 😊❤
Another great video Tim. We look forward to your vlogs!
Nice to see another video from Paradise! The home is coming along and the family seems happy and well. What more could you want? :-)
Its refreshing to see little ones getting in the way of your vlog...they are really cute.
At 1:56 the little dudes smile is so cute
yea, didnt see that till the editing... pretty funny

Thanks 👍
coffee, what an excellent idea! house is looking ok, good story chrissy. you an yours stay safe an well eh!
Beautiful smile and teeth. If you are building your own house or the in-laws, the best decision you have ever made rather than renting. In the Philippines, the stronger, unified the family is the better. It's the foundation of a great culture that must be embraced and accepted.
Tim ...love ur vlogs😍
that dress was a winner Christin
I love how Chrissy is not afraid to show her personality. When I was there, the girls were either too shy or apprehensive to open up and talk.
Maybe they were just not confident in speaking English
@@joseroldan7392 Could be. Some spoke pretty well. The girls who came from the barrio or province understandably were limited in English. But, the girls who had been there a while or the on base workers were pretty good with English.
i wish you guys the best you look like a happy family its good to see
She's like "pocahontas"
I’m not going to lie bro, what’s up with the bricklaying 😂😂😂
surprisingly that is how everything is built here
@@TimKyoutube that’s crazy,
I was wondering, too - never saw a plumb being hung anywhere to assist with the vertical alignment.... Not even a 'tell-tale' string having been run to hand the plumb line from.....

Its not a brick, its a "hollow block". Its much cheaper and stronger than overly expensive wood homes here in the US.
This is the most lit island in the Philippines!!
Nice little house.
they sure take their time working on that house they should have it under roof by this time and working on the inside it is a small house even with working with hand tools it seems a little slow I hope they are by Christmas it looks like you and Christin are doing a I love to see Dale he is always smiling all the time good luck to your family
Beautiful wee boy,,Good family
Hi Tim .Chrissy is looking beautiful be safe gods blessing to you
Chrissy has a flawless hair. And comfortable hiking dress ha. You have a beautiful wife Tim
Hey Tim, chrissy English is really good. Don't worry, your in-law 's house will be built. Just keep the faith my friend.😊 😊
Brother, your wife looks amazing in that dress. Hello beautiful Chrissy, little Dale mama👋🏾
hey i like this one, you and Crissy need to talk to each other more often ike this, love it .....
Man that is some rough masonry, compared to North American standards. It’s coming along though. Thx for the video.
Chrissy's dress is beautiful and colorful!
With my Western ways I can’t help but cringe seeing kids run and jump around a building site with Rebar everywhere. When in Roam 🤷♂️
.. Chrissy is so innocent and sweet. Nice story.
When I was a little kid in El Paso, we used to do that, play around construction sites. wouldn't go home 'till the street lights came on.
Construction such like this is Always a great playing ground for kids- also hide and seek. It’s another place free for them where/how they learned common sense because all are kids- who could think freely.
Nice dress Chrissy🥰baby dale is growing fast aww😍
Love the house update videos
I'm happy your page is booming
That’s so interesting. I would like to hear more of her talking about her experiences meeting and talking with foreigners there a dive resort. Like how she perceives them. And what they talked about.
She is the light of the philippines.a lovely dress and smile and absolutely gorgeous.the house 🏡 it's coming along.but I have to say I adore the pad that you are in on the beach.just saying.now I do live in Florida on the gulf coast of Mexico so I love the water.lol
Great dress. It is so colourful. It has a traditional feel to the look. Has Christin ever worn a dress again or does she need a new outfit for each video?
Wow Tim. Your wife is gorgeous in the dress. We would like to hear more of her background on her life before she met and married you
She looks very pretty in her dress!
Wow christy what a dress absulately stunning.
It’s hard to believe that tin is a mommy now, still the same petite woman as when you guys are still boyfriend/ girlfriend back then, now you have handsome little Dale already... so sweet....

I would keep an eye on that wood. Goes missing often times.
Dude, that Chrissy is priceless.......
Hi Tim and Chrissy. The wood is hard wood Tim, the ants don’t eat it. Lots has happened Tim, the bond beams and the stairs are almost done. The block work will be plastered and you will not see the rubbish laying lol. Also Tim I don’t mean to be picky but it is perfect that Tucker likes being with Chrissy. Chrissy and Dale have protection, I like that. Also Happy to see you go back to see the family on the farm with Chrissy.
Cheers from New Zealand
I love when Chrissy tells stories.. lol..
I think you need to tell them builders to get a move on.
Have to say the brick work scares me. How long do you think it will take Tim
Nice view from the top of the hill where Tucker was claiming as his. Nice area but no utilities & water. 🤷♂️ Still a nice area to take your dog and get some exercise.
C is looking very beautiful and innocent,👍
1:55 Me when a new Tim K video shows up in my feed
cute
Interesting & great reaction- kinda like mine when I see Chrissy
Im wondering, if you were a contractor, could you do your own construction or oversee the construction of your own home?
Some of the masonry is scary
Good morning two couples. I hooe, your doing well. And happy together couple chissy very nice dress she is pretty.
You are lucky guy chrissy is so pretty
her dream came true after meeting and marrying you . lol thx for the update on the her parents home Tim!!
I worked as a Masonry helper, those walls are horribly made. What’s up with the joints between the cinder blocks? It only takes a couple of seconds to smooth out the joints. Thumbs up 👍 for the video though!!
Thats a beautiful dress Chrissy! I see Dale is still as cute as a button as well....
Good story Chrissy , let’s hear more !!!
Hey Tim great seeing another video from you but can I ask you a few questions
One is how can that low grade wood cost so much I mill my own wood here at my home with my Alaska 111 sawmill and the wood I mill is much better quality
Also what are those red tubes hanging from the roof beams for?
Also in my life I was a brick layer and I just can't understand why they didn't fill in between the bricks but anyhow its nice to see that million dollar smile of crissys and wow tucker is getting really big
Well we here are always looking forward to seeing your videos keep up the great work and we hope that someday we can meet you and the family 👪 😊
That house is screwed with the next minor earthquake! Horrible infrastructure for that house! Plumbing? I don't see it. Beautiful wife!
Chrissy has nice traditional dress today
Oh I get it, the purpose of the block is to hold the the wood up🤔
No, I think the purpose of the wood is to hold the block up..............LOL
Blocks are mostly used due to it's durability, availability, cheaper compared to wood and most of all, a deterrent for termites. Tons of termites in the Philippines. Most construction now, uses steel trusses to avoid termite infestation.
Tim, Be very proud, the first view in this video was Crissy In that beautiful dress. Very Lovely, wish I could get my wife of 30 years to wear dresses like that daily.👍🇺🇸
the crazy thing is that they are only like $4-8. Most women I've known spend $60+
Tim, Christen is very stylish. 💃🏻. Her new dress not only reflects on her status but also on your’s as well. Well done👍
Nice short and happy storytelling fr krissy...
8:16 goodjob LOL !
Chrissy’s English is freaking amazing now. Better get to practice on your studies, she is showing you up bro! 😎
That does seem really expensive for wood, I wonder if steel angle would have been cheaper
THE AMERICAN DREAM IS NO LONGER IN AMERICA
CONGRATS TIM K
Love the dress
Girrrl I Love the dress! It is so beautiful, where did you get it? I want one!!
Hi Tim 😊🙋♀️
How are u today?
Morning!
Yeah I would hoped to see more done I think the only new part is the steps
Crissy so beautiful.
1:55 it will make your day haha❤️
Damn I might come and get a girlfriend there
