enjoy your videos glad for the rain

Hello Wilma and Greg we have had a pretty busy month making our way back to Dumaguete this coming week maybe we could meet up for a coffee and a chat Tom and Beth Canadian Filipino couple

Thank you for the update.

Nice tour of your neighbor’s project…. BUT your design and layout is still one of my favorites. 👏🏻👏🏻

A good idea to put a ramp going into the house. Not necessarily for a wheelchair, but it would make moving appliances and furniture into the house much easier. Stair are a real pain to use a hand truck!

Seeing the landscaping reflects well on Wilma's green thumb. 😊

sir Greg and Mam Wilma me and my bf want to meet you in your beautiful house

i watching your tour house i like it hope we build our dream house

Thanks for giving us the details description and run through on your neighbors house. I was looking as some of that hollow Block during your walk through. I just hate the workmanship ! With all the voids and globs of mortar. This is so typical and albeit better than other block construction I’ve seen in the Philippines. If I every build in the Philippines I won’t use them except maybe on perimeter fences. I also don’t like all the debris lying around. To me it just shows a lack of caring and sloppiness. Okay I’m done complaining. I agree that you do want water being retained or hydraulic pressure building up behind the rock wall. That home unfortunately looks like it is going to diminish your views a little bit. It’s nice to have neighbors and see the development grow.

If I had no clue what I wanted to build, I would just show this video to my home builder and say- "Get it very close to this."👏👏👏👏

Hello Greg. Very thorough, detailed tour of the construction progress. Sandy looks healthy and a happy girl. Nice to see her. The new house looks very expansive. They will have so much living space. Too big for me. I now prefer smaller living space, since I’m totally an outdoor person. Watch your head walking under and around the scaffolding. The rains have really allowed the vegetation to green up and recover as you said. Is all the surrounding land around Dauin that was all brown and suffering so much from the drought recovering now?? David in Japan.

Hello, I have a few questions if you don’t mind me asking…how long did it take from start to finish on building your home? Do you have an HOA (I’m curious about this because we would like to eventually raise some chickens)? Is possible to have in ground sprinkler system on most property? Thanks in advance!

Interesting video Greg. Talk about making changes NOW… I love his “typhoon/ work shop “ area but he needs to think about adding windows (?) on the carport side for ventilation. Thanks for your work. Take care.

Where’s the pool?

Nice! Looks like a floor plan is elevated! It needs to be elevated because it helps prevent flooding from heavy rains, alots of rains in the Philippines 😂my house that used to have in leyte is very elevated. That is why no problem of resale..👍

This building looks very stout and solid! could just like to have greater space between the building lots .

Why do you make the ceilings so high?

Most of this video was just you filming your arm.

Looks to be slow and steady on the construction. Any progress on the Russian’s house or the next lot. We’re struggling to get the designer to finish things for the builder so we can get this locked in on our place.

Thanks for the update of the building next door, your lawn and garden, and the star Sandy😊. You still sound congested in the video, or you have a new microphone during this video. The home build is coming along, and you know that changes are going to happen. Take Care and love the videos 😊

Very nice 👍🏾🇺🇲🇵🇭

Very interesting build. thanks for sharing. Do they not put in the plumbing during the build or do they do that afterwards. Sorry if I missed it but did not see anything for the drains. Do they use vent stacks for the drains? Liked that they closed the window on the side, that would have been just a view of the front of your house anyways. Glad to see you are doing well. Thanks for the video, Greg...Jim

How awesome is it to design and build your own custom house. I’ve designed and build a few myself, and when you have a view like that, taking advantage of it is number one priority. Although everyone has their own preferences, that house has so much wasted space and a few layout flaws. The three most used areas are kitchen, living and master bed. The living area is perfect except that step down divides the two spaces and makes it less usable. The kitchen should be right behind the living area with no divider wall with full views of the ocean. The master bedroom is in the perfect spot. Why a TV room? It’s pointless when you spend plenty of time in a tv area, it should be part of the living space with that awesome view. That said, just my opinion with view homes. Each to his own though. Great video and looking forward to seeing more. 👍

do you have net meter?

Sorry sir..! We still waiting for episod of Prince....!!!!!?

My God..Sandy is very kind pretty girl,I am sure Prince Will like her big time..🥰

Nice video

greg, where is the septic tank of this new build located and at what level is it.

It's great to see Sandy. She looks very healthy. I really like your neighbor's fortress wall. It looks very traditional. If they do a clay shingled roof, it will look like a remnant Spanish outpost.

hi do you know Finn Snow he is also building a beautiful house there in dauin. hope you network with him too.

They look like quality cinder blocks for the Philippines. Are they making the blocks themselves?

Great video.

can i ask which bank in the US is affiliated to the one in Philippines? and which in the Philippines? thank you so much. very informative video😊

Hope you are both better by now. Sick usually hits you when you are over fatigue aside from pre existing condition. Praying here

Get well soon Greg and Wilma. Glad rainy season finally comes. The heat is following us here😄😄

We have been in Dauin for 5 days and sick everyday

Enjoyed this video and learned about transferring money from USA to the Philippines. Good to know just in case I’ll be doing such thing or even help others with this video . Thank you very much I appreciate this information. Btw what did you do for a living in the USA?

did you think of building a cistern to collect rainwater when you built your house?? when i move out, my partner and i think that is pretty essential and aim to inlcude that in our build.

click bait! With land,pool and fence it cost over$14k

How big is your pool

Suggestions, why don’t you just build a sort of shed so your stuff are enclosed and maybe they won’t be as dusty next time you inspect them.

Can’t you buy garden soil and top your law with it so that your grass is greener.

Make tortsng eggplants, very delicious.

Reminds me so much of my 1st trip. Ended up getting off the plane in Tacloban also. I always tell people here in the US that they don't know the meaning of heat until they step out of the airport in Manila. We had a small, simple farmhouse built on our coconut farm in Leyte. We put a 2nd srory on it, which is just wood and put a small window air con for that room. My Wifes Mom or Sister are always following me around with a fan. I fell in love with the country as it reminds me a lot of how I grew up in a rural area of Kentucky. We more recently bought a smaller plot to build our retirement home, which we plan on starting by the end of next year. Great video and I'm really glad I found your channel. I'm getting a lot of ideas from the videos.

Hi, I have 3 Questions. Are you still using your US phone number and what carrier do you have? Do you set your VPN to the US State where you have your bank location opened and what address did you use for your banks in the US? Thanks.

The best protection is high walls with barb wires, dogs, and cctv. But they could always watch the house and wait until there is no one there. Hopefully you will never have any of those stories to tell from your own experience 🙏

Hope both of you feel better soon. Looking forward to the solar video 👍

hope you guys are well soon, Check my email regarding your aircon head units. Hope it works .

Hello guys hope everything doing good.

For the water heater you should install solarthermal not photovoltatics. I got a 200l system for 46000 pesos on the roof. Enough to fill the bathtub and shower.
