Your welcome for the tar baby advice I fight the tar baby everyday but mine is a rice mill plus 2 kids and a wife plus 50 employees life is good but I miss the time when life was free and easy enjoy your resort and your life not many expats I have meet have their priorities of life here together as you do you enjoy
Good morning Tom. I bet you laughed when you saw that title!! Thanks for the support always Tom. I really enjoyed that visit that day at the Canadian Beaver
Hi James the Einhell power tools are sold in Australia and New Zealand as Ozito made in China by Einhell German design. As quality handyman type tools .From my experience they almost as good as trade brands. Leave Ryobi are lower quality.I definitely recommend Einhell tools.
I have a few comments regarding the plastic water storage tanks and also about the pressure pumps. First about the water tanks, i was about to buy a 2000L Bestank at Wilcon here close to Candelaria Quezon, the store manager asked me if it was to be used for storing drinking water. Yes , i replied, well then i recommend the Weida tank instead, because it has a coating inside to make the water safe for drinking, the Weida tank was also less expensive. The Bestanks of the same size at the store did not have this inner coating, other than that i think they are made of the same kind of plastic. About the water pumps, i went all in for the Grundfos Scala2 pump, the black one showing at 22:01 This is a constant pressure pump, with a small internal expansion tank with air bladder. Pressure can be adjusted in 0,5 bar increments from 1,5 bar to 5,5 bar, depending on the inlet pressure. It is crucial that you have no leaks on your waterlines to make this pump work properly, if there is a small leak the pump will start and stop or even run all the time. The air pressure in the internal expansion tank also need to be adjusted according to the pressure you want the pump to deliver. (70% of the pressure you want on your tap water) This pump can suck up water from a underground cistern down to 8 meters, depending on pipe length and size. Pump will increase or lower the speed to maintain a steady waterflow when opening or closing multiple faucets. I bougth this pump because i've had good experiences with other Grundfos pumps for more than 35 years of working as an marine engineer, we have been using Grundfos pumps for both heating and cooling systems. For the last almost 2 years we have been using the Scala2 pump for feeding water to a high pressure washing system onboard, without any issues. It is a very expensive pump compared to some other pumps, Grundfos is a Danish brand, and one of, if not the worlds largest pump manufacturers.
Ah thank God your still talking to me after you seeing me kissing your girl last night. Sorry for that dude. Just to be fair you will have to kiss Melinda next time!! LMAO
German company, but their tools are made in China. Same manufacturer that makes dozens of other brands. Wal-Marts exclusive brand of Hyper Tough is also made by them. The only difference between them all is the name, color and level of accessories and quality that the retailer chooses. One might sell cheaper tools and choose a lower grade of plastic to inject into the identical same molds. Or a less powerful motor. Or less goodies like a battery without a led power level indicator. Name and location of a company means nothing anymore. You can buy a Hyper Tough cordless drill for a 3rd of the cost and swap out the motor from ordering an Einhall replacement motor online and have the identical same drill. Even their color pattern is the same of red and black. Only the name sticker is different. Probably why Hyper Tough changed from red with black like Einhall to black with red.
HEY JAMES IM GETTING A BLUE 1000 LITERS WATER TANK FOR MY WIFES FAMILY IF U PUT IT UP HIGH GRAVITY WILL INCREASE THE PRESURE DO U NEED A PUMP TO PUSH THE WATER UP TO THE TANK THANKS
You can use one pump if its powerful enough to suck the water out of the ground and into the gravity tank and to pressure the pressure assist tank and send water to everything. But in those systems you use the tank as a back up. Turn valves to switch back and forth to whether you want a pressurized system or gravity or fill the tank. Plus your overworking your pump and get ready to keep replacing burnt out pumps. Or pay to rewind the pump that'll take months to wait on. Best is to have one pump to use the water from the gravity tank and a pressure assist tank with your pump. Just using gravity is okay in a pinch, but unless the tank is big enough and high enough, it won't even have enough pressure to use a shower head. And if your casing and pipe are large enough, at least 4" then use a drop in pipe sump pump to fill the tank because that 50 watt pump running all the time to refill the gravity tank will save you a ton of money on your electric bill vs using a 1500 watt pump to suck the water out. And it'll last alot longer and costs a lot less. A good inline pump for under $100 vs over $300 for the smallest capable pump that might last 3 yrs like the green one in the video. The cheapest blue ones at Handy Man go for about $130, but lucky if they last a year. Most important is to find a capable honest plumber who actually knows what he's doing. Something as simple as a float valve to automatically fill the tank when it's close to empty and stop when close to fill, is a near impossible challenge to communicate to a local province plumber. You can talk until your blue in the face and make no progress. Pictures. Lots and lots of pictures off shopee so they understand. 90% of the time they call it something different.
This is not how I will be using it. I dont need it to pump water out of the ground. This size tank will not be up in the air. It will be on a ground foundation. Coming off the bottom outlet will be an above ground pressure pump and tank to simply pressurize the water and send it up to the guest rooms. I will have a float valve installed most likely to keep the tank topped off when it get below a certain level. This will relieve my current pressure tank from being under as much load. My current well pump is great. It is an all stainless steel deep well pump like made for going in a 4" casing. I made a casing pipe and put in out well which has a large casing. this keeps it from moving around. It delivers plenty of water but the carbon fiber pressure tank is too small. I will most likely move our current pressure thank to the above ground tank I am looking to buy and then buy a BIG tank for main house and guest rooms.
Pressure pumps - Meyers used to be the gold standard. Haven't seen one in the stores for a while, but haven't really been looking. They used to be P10000 while cheaper (made in Italy) were about P6000. I have several Einhell tools, German design Chinese made. They are about Ryobi standard, in other words OK. Grundfoss make good pumps.
Lol. I've heard of the expression Tar baby before, but until now I've never asked. Just always thought it was a racial slur. So the few times I've heard someone say it, I was like seriously? Now I know why no one was ever offended. 😂. And it would've made more sense when applied to the conversation. Before, it was like, does this person have tourettes?
I told you a while ago that you were building your own jail, but you got butt hurt, no, I'm not. Now someone else says it, and you agree with them like I don't know anything. You'll understand the reference to that. Lol

Good video Mr. Like 8 weeks till we come back to the Philippines and we are getting excited
Great to have a break from the house and go to the big boys toy store
Good vid...shows life in the PI
I hear you James, about the traffic! They call it ‘organized chaos’ .
I live in Puerto Princesa, Palawan with my Filipina wife!
Thanks for City Hardware video and your talk.
Very interesting video!
Your welcome for the tar baby advice I fight the tar baby everyday but mine is a rice mill plus 2 kids and a wife plus 50 employees life is good but I miss the time when life was free and easy enjoy your resort and your life not many expats I have meet have their priorities of life here together as you do you enjoy
Good morning Tom. I bet you laughed when you saw that title!! Thanks for the support always Tom. I really enjoyed that visit that day at the Canadian Beaver
@@TexasFilipino Well get free for a weekend and pay us a visit
JD Bakery was founded in iIloilo and it’s primarily there, with one location being outside of Iloilo in Kalibo, Aklan (ChatGPT).
nice vid 👍

Do they run junction boxes for electrical runs here or does every line run back to the panel? And do they daisy chain outlets and lights?
That is all up to you
Our Pedrollo well pump is between 5 and 6 years old and no problems so far .
Have you ever froze a used latex roll and reused?
No I have not
One of the best in town JD’s Pancit Palabok & Fried Chicken…😋
One day brother I'll have to walk these stores in Iloilo with you and check out the goods they seem to have more than years before.
Ah thank God your still talking to me after you seeing me kissing your girl last night. Sorry for that dude. Just to be fair you will have to kiss Melinda next time!! LMAO
I look forward to hanging out more
Joel is a good choice. He is a hard worker…….
I thought you had a large grey water underground tank for all your properties?
that is rain water for watering not for drinking and no I dont plan to filter it

Fibre glass I thought you needed
If you want to get out and about, why not join Mel at Zumba? Should be an entertaining video.😂😂
You just need to train some of the family to run the business....
