Foreigner and Filipina Building a Home in Dauin, Philippines 🇵🇭

[@Rip301a]

That’s a very nice pottery store. A lot of cool things. House is looking great, along with the pool.

[@buildingthephilippines]

Bebe is a nice lady and her pottery is very nice. Brings some color to the front of the house.

[@joemelo1372]

I like that you're promoting local businesses. It will definitely help me out when I get out there thank you

[@buildingthephilippines]

Yes, when we find small, honest small businesses we need to support them.

[@DonFashionBeauty]

Thoroughly enjoyed visiting with you and Wilma. My God continue blessing you.

[@buildingthephilippines]

Thanks, Wilma and I enjoyed our visit as well. Nice meeting you and safe travels.

[@chriscapiris5185]

It’s so nice to see how you support the little guy…. The pots look really good on your property, I agree with Wilma about the balancing.

[@buildingthephilippines]

Agree Chris. It looks real nice and balanced. Now we need to get some plants in those pots.

[@lostboi3974]

Good job promoting the business.

[@buildingthephilippines]

Thank you. Nice local business.

[@davidlongley534]

Your home is coming along splendidly it will certainly be a beautiful home

[@buildingthephilippines]

Thank you David. We think so too.

[@mellyons4052]

Enjoy it guys. The pool looks great. The front fence design really suits the house.. well done 😊😊😊😊

[@buildingthephilippines]

Thanks Mel, we really tried to have all the lines and colors of the project all flow and match. Thanks for commenting.

[@abepagtama3803]

That Pool look awesome

[@buildingthephilippines]

Thanks Abe.

[@gbengoosewuru4139]

If those bricks are clay bricks, they would make for a nice outdoor pizza oven.

[@buildingthephilippines]

Thanks a pretty good idea. Need to think about that.

[@darren9012]

Very impressive!😎

[@buildingthephilippines]

Thanks Darren.

[@stevethomas1638]

It’s very satisfying to observe how your dream home is coming together. I know you and Wilma are going to be thrilled when it’s completed. Still praying for the walk-in closet to get on track.

[@drewnc6196]

They sent a man to the moon in less time than it is taking for Wilma's walk-in closet! 🤣🤣🤣

[@buildingthephilippines]

Thanks Steve, can't wait to get the construction phase completed, so we can concentrate on landscaping and gardening. Walk in closet gets installed this weekend.

[@davidrivers2385]

Looking great , I had guessed 8 days yikes your hoses looked slow on the video. Plants always make the ground look great i am a gardener by hobby. There is a blogger its me nice couple your might take a peek at one of there last post they had some home made metal doors and screen's made for the patio that might look good on the proposed wall or door area of the dirty kitchen? Take care Danial and Marivic

[@buildingthephilippines]

Thanks for that suggestion. I will look for that video.

[@joni5243]

Looks fabulous!

[@buildingthephilippines]

Thank you Joni.

[@estrel2894]

Nice to see that you guys are supporting Mom and Pop business instead of the Big Box store in your area. 👍👏

[@buildingthephilippines]

We always try to buy at those small businesses in our area.

[@AaJim1517]

You call that traffic, you should get out more. It's horrendous where we live Cavite😢

[@buildingthephilippines]

Lol, I really dislike traffic. Always did. I'd rather travel further but able to drive normal speeds.

[@picco4700]

Nice job on our house and pool , we too did install a pool at our house in Leyte , one thing i did upgrade on our pool system was to install at DE filter (diatomaceous earth), it a super filter and only needs clean once a month , and the water is super clear (5-7 micron)

[@buildingthephilippines]

Hi John, congrats on your pool build. Thanks for the suggestion.

[@rorybellamy2533]

I saw three Shell stations and a Goodyear tire , nice work shop ! Greg do you work in any Art / craft work? Nice day to Fly a Kite!

[@buildingthephilippines]

Gas stations everywhere here. I use Petron. No, don't do crafts just maintaining work, repairs etc.

[@craigjacob3704]

Wow while you were panning the camera back from Wilma I saw a nice shallow saucer type planter that would be perfect for growing kitchen herbs !!!❤ I love those little places. If I still lived there BB would get thousands of my pesos seeing as how I love gardening so much. Oh Greg you should burn as much of that scrap wood as you can and make biochar for your garden it's really good for the soil. Just look up making biochar. David the Good has a good video on KZbin about making that and swamp water fertilizer. He doesn't live far from me now in lower Alabama. Cathie and I are down on the coast of Mississippi now. Trying to get out garden going . Just got our orchard started good but this last freeze killed off the tops of our Grape Vines we just planted. Oh yeah they grow grapes in Bacolod might be something you and Wilma might like to have 😁❤️ !!!

[@buildingthephilippines]

Thanks Craig for the suggestion. Will look into that. Grapes would be a nice addition to the garden. Need to see how they would handle the heat and sun here. Thanks for watching.

[@johnwardle7016]

HI LOOKING AT THE DIRTY KITCHEN. .ALL THE SMOKE ETC. WILL YOU BE INSTALLING A CANAPY / EXTRACTER FAN LOTS OF SMAKE WILL COVER EVERYTHING .IN A FEW HOURS .

[@buildingthephilippines]

We don't cook that much. The roof is vented about 3 inches the entire length of the back wall. The smoke just dissipates there.

[@steveperyer4850]

It is always a good thing to buy from businesses that treat you good, no matter where you live. Those businesses deserve the support, and the word of mouth how well you were treated by this lady, will make her store grow. As long as she stays fair to the customer, she will always have a steady flow of customers to support her store. The pool looks great, and no wonder you are taking a dip in it after the video. The fence and front of the property is coming good, and the dirty kitchen is only a few days away from completion, except for painting the floor. Looks like you will have a nice workshop in the corner of the dirty kitchen, and Wilma has a good idea, in keeping it more secure.😊

[@buildingthephilippines]

Thanks Steve. I agree we need to support these small businesses. Once we find that they are fair to us foreigners. Hopefully she will get more business from the video. The swim was great. I'm focusing on the dirty kitchen over the next few days. Wilmas walk in closet gets installed this weekend, so crossing my fingers there. Front fence is taking shape.

[@charleshill71]

Continued progress, really nice. Sounds like a good idea Wilma had, glad that you agreed. Thank you both.

[@buildingthephilippines]

Thanks Charles, yes going to look into that further. A bit more security.

[@mannetteemnas-ye1pc]

Outside the city is beautiful! Home is looking great! Great idea on some kind of door on the dirty kitchen, largest I’ve seen and loving it. Everything looks perfect! ❤

[@buildingthephilippines]

Thanks Mannette. We are really enjoying the property. Looking into that gate here soon.

[@Sweetjuly73]

You guys have absolutely maximized the space with your design on this house. Its so practical yet spacious. ❤

[@buildingthephilippines]

Thanks Lynn, open concept and simple design. Thanks for watching.

[@TheMaroney]

3000 subs 👍

[@buildingthephilippines]

Another milestone. Keep pushing forward.

[@myrrhavm]

Have to imagine how much was lost to evaporation while it was filling.

[@buildingthephilippines]

I'm sure evaporation will continue, will see after filled how often I need to add water.

[@garybleiberg9331]

Nice eyeglasses guys . 👓 Did you happen to get them at walmart?

[@buildingthephilippines]

No, wilmas are prescription and mine are readers.

[@raulrasco4856]

Is the granite countertop in the outdoor kitchen going to be unsupported as shown in the video? If so, you may want to rethink that design configuration.

[@buildingthephilippines]

They use a 1 meter span here for granite.

[@junbarz361]

Almost there...beautiful home! How many sqm is your house? Thanks

[@buildingthephilippines]

Hi Jun, 168 square meters.

[@jamesscroggins3486]

Curious on a walk in closet update. Everything else is looking great.

[@buildingthephilippines]

I keep forgetting to update everyone. I will do so tomorrow. Thanks for reminding me.

[@gregprov]

Is there a prize for the winners?

[@buildingthephilippines]

Lol, yes personal satisfaction and bragging rights.

[@gregprov]

I figured maybe a dip in the pool? Oh well…

[@buildingthephilippines]

That's the 2nd prize.

[@timfleets9384]

Hey what’s going on there? I heard a group of gunmen killed the state governor and 8 other people where you are at. Is it still safe there?

[@buildingthephilippines]

Long time fued I guess between political opponents. We don't get involved in any politics here.

[@garybleiberg9331]

Nice eyeglasses guys . 👓 Did you happen to get them at walmart?

[@buildingthephilippines]

Wilmas are prescription and purchased in NY. Mine are readers from a store in Dumaguete.
