🙏 appreciate your support. Allows me to do more here

[@kmilton1593]

That was so considerate of you and your friend to donate and put up some plywood; but if one of the goals is to keep stray raindrops off of the wood floor, then in order to protect the stud wall spacers/supports, would it not have been more practical to put the plywood on the outside (thereby protecting the studs, and deflecting the rain)? I think the rain might still drizzle down to the edge of the floor anyways this way. Also, maybe it would have been better for air circulation to just put up the first plywood sheets to 4 feet high: that would give them more privacy and rain-splash protection than what they had, and they would still have a view of the distant green trees. Interesting video. After you lit your cigarette, the father must have thought you were worn out, so then he took over the job!! Ha ha!

[@qadventures]

It was courtesy of my KZbin subscribers

[@marvmitchinmarv9153]

One way to keep the boards from vibrating while nailing the plywood is... Hold another hammer or rock on the other side behind the nail you are driving. It will absorb the vibration, and help the nail to drive faster. Likely you will need a second person on the outside to do this. Also, you would have to set up some way to be outside and not fall through the roof of the other building.

[@qadventures]

Hahaha!!! Falling through the roof crossed my mind, but damaging the neighbor's house was not an option

[@eddydavis9548]

[@qadventures]

Yes. My family and I were in Bataan refugee camp for 6 months back in 1986. The locals there had every opportunity to take advantage of us but they did the exact opposite and helped us. Always teaching us the mountain ways, giving my parents and outer community fair currency exchange rates, etc. That's 1 of many reasons I am here now. Philippines has a special place in my heart and I am rearing typing this last sentence

[@FranklinNJ]

You need at least 6 windows so they get fresh air & daylight, wooden windows that any local carpenter can make for them very cheap 3'x3' with hinges and a latch that swing inward nothing fancy (of course not glass windows). Those people will suffocate if you dont have enough windows the place will feel like an oven. Labor there is very cheap, my advice to you is to hire a local carpenter who you could pay 500-800p per day and go with them to buy the material. A carpenter's salary is 15kp per month (500p/day).

i suggest that once those corners get covered. the curtains could be better installed. not saying curtain installing is easy. painting the roof would protect it? varnish protects the wood. don t leave wood unprotected, or else it will be like the roof soon, plastic window/ glass window. no windows, those nice curtains are enough for a moment

[@qadventures]

🙏👍

[@viuvenitlalumina]

@@qadventures outside cladding (metal sheet) will protect the plywood more. from rain/typhoons, flywood for roof too because it insulates from terrible Rain noise. any wall paint applied with a roller will protect the wood too. inside and outside. there is some paint against rust. uninsulated nails în the metal roof= stupid idea, it needs to be folded

[@qadventures]

I understand exactly what you are talking about as I have flipped homes in san antonio during the 2 yrs of covid. However, in these neighborhoods of the Philippines, things are done very specific for very logical reasons. I brought my power tools that I didn't even get to use. I also didn't want to behave like an elitist and impose my will on them. I just wanted to solve an immediate problem for the 2 youngsters

[@viuvenitlalumina]

@@qadventures if it is immediate fix it will degrade în the next 2/3 years ....and then start again. a waterproof paint job would protect from out side rain and splashes. ( even on the inside some laquer would protect from spills and bloches and make the wood easily cleanable... even when it gets stained) paint jobs are time consuming. the windows have to have some frame first , to beginning with

[@vademecum8173]

Maybe they should of bought the corrugated tin panels instead of the plywood. Since the tin would protect the studs and act as the exterior wall. Those plywood could of been used to divide the rooms already underneath the roof. But not to act as an interior wall from the outside wall, if there isn't an outside exterior wall. Buy the corrugated tin next time. Probably a lot less than plywood.

You should of gotten exterior grade siding or thoroughly painted those sheets and installed it on the exterior of the frame. You've created a shortened lifespan with that shoddy workmanship.

The complexity of the local ways are difficult to understand. Many times, it's against logic. But they, nevertheless, have very valid reasons. I was there to help solve an immediate problem according to the patriarch's wishes. I know there are better ways but made a choice not to impose my ways on them

use remitly platform it work .

[@qadventures]

I use that personally but not for my channel

Why didn’t the plywoods nailed from the outside in?

[@qadventures]

I did what the patriarch ordered. I couldn't impose. There is zero room to put ladder outside or anything to step on (neighbors roofs were paper thin thin roofs).

I know that there’s a S&R, sort of like Home Depot, but… Do they have an Amazon out there? If so, then may you create an Amazon Wishlist for us viewers to help by buying construction supplies, tools and household materials that way please? Also, in the next rehabilitation / renovation video, may you give us a price breakdown of what is the costs for the project and what it would cost for future projects please? I feel the more we understand about the home building process, the easier we’ll feel about contributions. Thank you so much! ❤ Maige Matthews

I understand suggestions and all are very effective suggestions, Maige. However, there are a few flaws... 1) Amazon does deliver in the Philippines, but not to places like these as they are in small alleys that are connected to other small alleys. Only accessible by scooter or on foot. Local suppliers that it figured out. 2) I brought my power tools, but what was purchased does not apply to my tools. 3) purchasing in volume requires storage. I don't have a specific area of focus. I go all over from island to island and when I identity someone that has potential to be independent, that is when I get involved. Behind the scenes, there are many others who are only interested in monetary assistance without specific plans. I tend to shy away from stuff like that. As you see from my videos, all those I have been involved with has potential and I am still active in their lives

@@qadventures Bro, that is awesome! Thank you so much for the heartfelt feedback. I really feel that both of our hearts are in the right place.

Have ever ask or bother them, how this house looked before typhoon Odette?

[@qadventures]

👌

I bring a small box of basic hand tools, but nothing for carpentry work.

[@qadventures]

Yeah. I buy what I need here. Real cheap, but the tools are subpar
