I'm glad noticing Finn's number of subscribers increasing. I've been a subs way back when he had 100+ subscribers. That's why,I called him my anak because I cried when he cried remembering his mom's illness and death. The school for the girl's shelter in the mountain of Cebu is for his mom's remembrance. I miss those times when he used to wear the magic "yellow short pants"....heheh. That shorts was his golden treasure as his journey in our country begins. You've gone quiet far in life,nak and there's more to go. Opportunities are endless,always call upon the LORD by giving HIM thanks.Cöngrats! The LORD is with you and Sherlyn.🙏

No skipping ads as usual for the House on the hill👍😁

[@dong2842]

You may plant Mahogany trees very strong and sturdy trees . protection for strong typhoon and soil erosion.

[@rubyannrosario6956]

Spectacular dive site,beautiful healthy corals!

[@hansipogidarval2239]

House building journey.....all the fun and heartaches but very rewarding at the end 😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@NPRNTVChannel]

Hi Finn! Talisay tree is a good tree for better shade and falling dry leaves are no problem because they are larger and only few. It has strong resistance to typhoons.

[@aidalaurente5559]

Have a great weekend Finn, Sherlyn & Jake. Wow nice nipa hut good u try to build one of these kind, very comfortable during summer time. So sweet Jake & very obedient.😘🐕Best of Luck. 🙏✌❤

[@ricomambo6316]

It's a nice place.Buiding a house in overlooking is the best for summer season and sightseeing .One good thing are to plant trees preparably fruit trees surrounded in the top for shelters from the heat during summer and to protect the strong winds from the typhoon comes at the same time to protect the soften of soil for landslide in rainy season.A triple purpose initiative.

[@niketig8980]

FYI you need to build a manmade lake in your space area for storm ⛈️ water 💦 reservoir use for summer season watering grass and vegetable garden 🪴 for green space and beautification it helps a lot I saw a backhoe digging soil in your area you might take advantage the opportunity create a small lake.

[@earlclep1]

Good advice 👍

[@enigma5014]

very good information ❤❤❤

[@CB-in4dd]

Some houses have built a separate type of water tower to catch rainwater. Don’t know how tall the water tower should be or how far away it should be built from the house. Of course there is a cover so mosquitoes or other bugs won’t breed. Purpose? People use to shower in or water plants/trees when their city water stops working temporarily or short drought.

[@viviansicat5733]

Hello Finn & Sherlyn & Jake! Good luck on your house project.. beautiful underwater video worthy of National Geographic. Have you ever thought of submitting your videos to them? 🎉🎉🎉

[@FinnSnowVlogs]

I got some ideas :)

[@gleenatrillo5390]

I think you need to build a solid retaining wall prior to filling the area with loose soil. Congrats on your new property.

[@mersase1]

yes, they need a retaining wall before they fill the location needed to support the ground from eroding ...

[@FinnSnowVlogs]

We are looking into it

[@dmcebu]

He needs a serious soil study before continuing the whole footings and foundations. I though this area is more on hard rock mountian.

[@coolitz]

@@dmcebu is that even a thing in the Philippines? I know you need to do all that here in Australia prior to even laying the slab and footings.

[@yukighievlogs]

See creatures are amazing ⭐️Nice dive Fin♥️

[@lipsee7942]

Nipa hut is looking great. Yes that’s a good idea to reinforce that side of your house. Keep your retaining walls strong too. So excited to see your place slowly coming together Finn and Sherlyn 🙏🏻

[@jayneh2006]

Just hold on and it’ll all be ok. Same here in usa when we build our house.

[@wendys3514]

Finn thanks for including your diving in Siquijor…super nice the soft corals! Hope you will have time to upload another vlog on your bluelife channel when you are done with your house project.

[@cubbie55]

You mentioned using sliding windows on your new home. Please note that unless there are proper seals on the sliding windows you will have two sets of problems - one is that when using AirCon the cold air will leak out doubling your AirCon bill and two, when rain storms hit the water will find its way through the gaps into the house.

[@FinnSnowVlogs]

True, all depends of the product quality

[@peter.caballero]

@@FinnSnowVlogs need to consider also the strong wind and debris during typhoon.

[@bethymarasigan3762]

It's true Nicholas, my experience with the sliding windows. And the house location is so open on that mountain top.

[@lukealston996]

Sliding windows are garbage. I put them in my home in the Philippines and regret it. Also they are not strong, leak ac, and rain.. mine are protected inside a entryway and still I hate them..

[@almanalang4283]

Strong wind will smash it and if it will happened durung typhoon hide inside toilet witbout glasses like what happened here in Hongkong if wind smashed tve glasses don't know where to hide scary

[@NickyDunn]

Hiya. Finn and Sherlyn. Good Morning. The Starlink looks like a great product. That is fantastic you will have wifi on your land. Jake is so cute. Great to see the progress. Thank you for sharing. Gorgeous drone footage. Beautiful underwater footage. Spectacular. Great video. Have a wonderful weekend.

[@texastimcebuph6607]

Finn think about getting a roller to compact the soil next to the walls! The house is coming along nicely.I’m looking into getting the Starlink system here in Balamban Cebu province. I’ll keep watching to see how it works out for you.

[@EdwinMontilla-k1v]

Finn I'll always watching your blog 🙂

[@coolitz]

Another vote for retaining walls, Finn. Love watching the house updates.

[@roncleaver1189]

I’m digging the Nipa hut. Awesome video as always. Thanks.

[@JayJay-mw5ur]

Great land and build but why build so close to that corner . I would worry about land movement after heavy rain etc.

[@ytmaharlika9131]

If you have used oil from your car, you can use it to wipe the wood of your nipa hut to make it strong and termites free. Use roller to make it fast.

[@hannahlene143]

9:10 😍😍😍

[@loriechilson925]

Its a fantastic idea that these people shares their opinion how things should be done around your house. Their experienced will save you headaches in the years to come - take note of their recommendation. Having a house is not an easy task. Keeping an eye on so many things around your house becomes nuisance later on, an example of that is the gutter. It should be cleaned yearly to remove leaves stuck on the pan gutters so rainwater drains easily. Windows should be sealed well so mold will not be developed especially when it rains a lot. Water supply needs filter to remove unwanted pathogens - at least. Spray some kind of a solution around the property to deter bugs and other things. As for the water piping, use copper pipe so they won't get rusty. If you get the ordinary pipe, they rust quickly because of the salt carried by the wind from the ocean. Take note of your subscribers' advise - you will thank them later.

[@Geoffreyboucher]

Hope you’re home comes a long with out any major problems,,,dive site looks fantastic,,,peace and happiness to you both 😊😊😊😊

[@91hiace]

Finn, you should look for a good source of water, as the area that needs to be build up should be packed like they do when road building. Failing to do that will turn the dirt into a slurry at first heavy downpour Btw. Heads up on All you have done since I have followed your journey. Best to you 3. The underwater filming is stunning. Cheers from Canada.

[@claribelpalomares260]

You make it a point to give careful thought in everything you do, planning beforehand what's best for the land/house. The housebuild is coming along nicely even with some challenges along the way and so is your nipa hut. Congrats on getting Starlink, badly needed esp in the province. That eagle is always making an appearance, I love it! Also, good to see you always have time for your passion which is diving. Amazing dives in Siquijor! Oh! Loved the scene bet Sherlyn and Jake❤❤ very sweet when she said, "kiss mama" to Jake. Thank you guys and have a happy weekend. God bless.

[@FinnSnowVlogs]

Thank you so much :)

[@paulfredrickson2181]

Yes DEFINITELY a retaining wall is need. Solid concrete wall reinforced with columns. Not hollow block, their not strong enough. Good Luck Finn with the upgrade.

[@CannonSevereWx]

Congratulations again on your new home. Are you considering lightning protection being at the top of a hill?

[@FinnSnowVlogs]

Yes I’m highly considering it!

[@dong2842]

You can put a lightning arrester since your lot is in top of a hill.

[@CannonSevereWx]

@@FinnSnowVlogs Very good. Lightning arresters will help provide some protection to your electronics, while lightning rods will protect your home from fire caused by lightning strike.

[@imboglitz2400]

finn, the corner of the house is quite near the cliff. someday erosion will drain the upper soil down. u should plant bamboos, coconut, mahogany, etc. to hold the soil from erosion.

[@michaelchin8749]

You could buy a power inverter plugged it into your pick up truck to convert DC to AC to power up your star link system. You have a generator use it to power up your star link system. The generator can be use to power cement compactor.

[@samfish6938]

Some one said starling only costs $45 in philapeans

[@FinnSnowVlogs]

3k pesos

[@arghentrock]

Awesome Finn 👍 You know it would be cool if you can start a project wherein you recreate an ancient Norse ship, the kind that sailed to Iceland in the olden days, and then sail it around the Philippines.

[@FinnSnowVlogs]

That would be wild hehe

[@arghentrock]

​@@FinnSnowVlogs Definitely, and it could also be a vehicle for climate change awareness and send a message or two regarding the woes of plastics-use.

“ Rebar”Don’t forget to put a ground for lighting during thunder. Two copper rods underground 8 feet minimum up 10 feet deeps better. Better use the rebars from the foundation 😅

[@TheChenny73]

Looks like you need some terraced retaining walls on that corner

[@dionfield1558]

That's also my suggestion and they can make it a terrace of plants ,flowers, vegetables or fruit like strawberry or whatever they want... it's added the beauty of their landscape....

[@TheChenny73]

@@dionfield1558 I definitely would, knowing the amount of rain there, without something to hold that steep slope in place….landslide. Also, a giant clumping species of bamboo would help…but that might impede views

[@dionfield1558]

​​@@TheChenny73 think as I saw the kind of soil they have is not for landslide prone it's more on Stone or volcanic mountains just like that as you see there is no trees in big portion of thier land and some bushes but not that much because it's look more in solid rocks than soil if that land will prone to landslide maybe by now no more hill top already and dauin Dumaguete is not a big typhoon area..only typhoon Odette harm so hard category 5 after 1989 or 1979 big typhoon land fold.. though it raining but not like other part of the country always hit by the typhoon....

[@dionfield1558]

​@@TheChenny73 and bamboo beside thier master bedroom I think it's not good bamboo May blocked the view and it's so very noisy especially if it's windy and many leaves will fall everyday hehehe 1 or 2 trees is enough just trim the every now and then. Hehehehehe and solid reinforcement nalang...hehehehe just my point of view...

@@dionfield1558 I have many giant bamboo, I love the sound of thee creaking and clacking in the gentle wind. You’re right about leaves but they only drop their leaves once a year and it is messy.

[@dionfield1558]

Im also wandering how you gonna level your ground in your foundation because it looked like need trucks of soil to dump in your land to level the Flor foundation...may be you will dig your septic tank also so that you can use the soil you will needed and you will not rent again the excavator for digging your septic tank to save some money for another rent or for laborers just my suggestion but i dont know its to late or done already hehehehe....

[@alvinm4262]

please suggest finn to your contractor to do soil treatment to avoid pest like termites and ants in the soil of your foundation or before doing floor slab. just make sure also that tie beams are placed. this will hold your house in case of earthquake which is common in Philippines. it is common practice in the Philippines to do shortcuts in construction like hollow first before column or foundation. please watch out. better late in construction finished for as long as quality is not compromised.

[@susangallardo7372]

Don't use aluminum sliding windows and doors they are not strong for your house and location they have also strong qualities and expensive UPVC in the phils

[@dionfield1558]

Many of your viewers say like this like that you gonna build so strong house for typhoon and strong wind and that's ok I have no issue in that even me I like that safety but sometimes I smile because most of all houses in the mountain area are just a simple house even most of them are Cogon roof amakan and bamboo house not concrete but they still stand the test of nature in so many years but you building a Strong house but still they are worried. .. I think they too much worried than you just continue to do what you think the best in you and keep them as precautions . .

With heavy rains how are you going to prevent that heal from eroding. The reason I'm asking is because it is already loose soil without any root structure in it I think it may be a serious problem.

[@charlesgriesel2376]

Will you have shutters on all your windows to protect your large windows from being blown in by the high winds in a typhoon. At 240 Km/h the dynamic wind pressure load will be 277.49 Kg/m or 277.49 kg per square metre of window area. Window shutters help protect the window from being broken by flying debris and from the wind blowing the window in. So your windows need very strong fixings as do your window shutters. The position you are in is very exposed on top of that hill. So everything has to be designed to withstand the force of the strongest typhoons. The roof also must be very firmly fixed to the walls. At wind speeds of 160Km/h (100mph) the force on a window per square metre will be 123.33 kg for the wind direction being perpendicular to the window. At wind speeds of 240Km/h (150mph) the force on a window per square metre will be 277.49 kg for the wind direction being perpendicular to the window. And finally at 315km/h (196 mph) (the wind speed in that terrible typhoon that hit Leyte a few years ago) the force on a window per square metre will be 478.027 kg for the wind direction being perpendicular to the window. Note that the force is the dynamic wind pressure. I also notice that the hollow blocks you are using are very thin compared to what I have seen in many other building sites in the Philippines. You do have a very nice location with the views at the top of the hill but the down side is strong typhoons.
