Nice video my friend thanks for sharing

[@ABetterLifePH]

Thank you!

[@TitoJames68]

The front looks great.

[@ABetterLifePH]

Thank you! Some plants and ornamental stuff does change things.

Save the best for enough seeds to replant corn

[@ABetterLifePH]

We have something like 1.5 tons left. Although there's no profit in it, growing for personal consumption should be a good idea. Especially for Loyloy/family as they both eat a lot of rice/mais, and I think they share with the extended family.

My friend has eggplants & stuff. Perhaps that purple potato or yam called ube sells well.

[@ABetterLifePH]

Ube is super popular here. I think Lourlin had plans to plant some.

[@HumansLiveForMoments]

Great job sir

[@ABetterLifePH]

Thank you!

@@ABetterLifePH where in bukidnon is that area? My cousin and i are looking to buy

[@ABetterLifePH]

We're located about 2.5-3 hours north of Davao, in Sinuda. It's close to Buda. Ancestral domain, so no titles (but COLO).

[@zosimoybay2909]

Sweet potato(camote)for quick production,yam(purple ube)vegetables that are easy to grow and bear fruits,Tubers,Cassava(kamoteng Kahoy).Since your property is large enough you could subdivide where each individual plants are to be planted.that is just my idea.

[@ABetterLifePH]

I like the idea and I was thinking something similar with separate fields (and space for me to experiment). We're considering egg plants, lakatan banana, pea nuts and green beans.

[@AnthonyTabotabo]

Hi, How much did the cost for the sliding glass door? planning also to install for our house renovation similar to yours.

[@ABetterLifePH]

Iirc, it was 20k, and an extra 3k for the tint. Installation included (not counting snacks etc for the guys).

[@lolitamcgovern5651]

Love the door mate, your place is getting better and better each time I watch your show. 😊

[@ABetterLifePH]

@lolitamcgovern5651 Thank you! 🥰 Can't have the Bukidnon view and not have a glass door!

[@lolitamcgovern5651]

@ABetterLifePH Yeah, that would be fantastic when you sit inside and look at the view 😀

[@ronsorenson7196]

It appears the sliding door is installed backwards? All the sliding doors I’ve seen have the sliding door on the inside. Than you can drop a stick in the track as extra security when your home.

[@ABetterLifePH]

We actually didn't even think about that. Not surprised though, but it's fine. We'll have a big dog outside eventually, and barbed wire, and motion sensors with light and CCTV, and locks on the sliding door. Hmm, people may think we've overdone it - it's actually a quite safe area! But yeah, you do have a point... 😏

[@JMgmkh]

Staying one step ahead so things don't get frigged up (here) is futile. Ya....the Philippines. Buy ounce. Pay twice.

[@ABetterLifePH]

"It's more fun in the Philippines!" 😂

[@theshyfarmer]

No money in corn unless you make it Into cornnbrew/corncoffee. Sounds like your crop was simular to ours. First you shill it (remove it from the cob. Then you get it milled and then you roast it. Bag it and sell it.

[@ABetterLifePH]

We were thinking sweet corn. But good idea, we might try that. Just need a setup for roasting.

[@theshyfarmer]

@@ABetterLifePH Yes we gave most of our crop to friends and family and just roasted some in a large pan for ourselves. A guy was going to roast 85 kilo for 2800 paso. He had some large drum over an open fire but I never saw the setup. Good luck

[@ABetterLifePH]

@theshyfarmer Thank you! Might be worth it, if it sells easily/doesn't cost too much.

[@Fensome2006]

Grow some money trees

[@ABetterLifePH]

What are those used for?

[@PatrickKelly-b8o]

How do I say this without hurting your feelings? But maybe listen to a point please for your own safety and the projects success. The retaining wall of about 6" or 8" thick will NOT hold the weight of the building plus the soil when that soil become water drenched with rain during the monsoons. The walll will eventually blow out in so doing will cause extensive damage to the house. 2 things needed. 1) drainage behind the wall with crushed stone and min, 4" dia pipe through the wall every 4' to allow built up water to exit. That wall acts asa dam. It will not hold up ..the water has to escape or it will blow out. 2) I'd be pouring an additional 8" wall infront of the existing wall with a min of a 3' wide by 16" high footing with rebar every 6" long ways and upright and tie the footing to the wall with "L" shaped rebar. That thin conc. wall is way, way too inadiquate to handle all that weight.... a suggestion only. You have a nice location and great layout... but the rains WILL add much weight and pressure against that wall. Best of luck

[@ABetterLifePH]

We will add a French drain style drainage to the retaining wall, and divert water around our house area. We will also make repairs/improvements to the existing wall. As for building an 8" extra wall etc, that's so far out of our budget that I can't even say much about it. I appreciate the advice, but I don't think you're correct about the weight (the water is most likely going deeper, which actually could be a bigger problem), and regardless - if we can't afford it, I can't do anything with that. Thank you though, and I hope you're wrong. There are so many projects and so much we need to fix (essentially everything the first crew did) that I either stay within a tight budget or I'm f'ed. P.S. Don't worry about eventual offense. I have very thick skin and can't really be insulted. As long as people don't attack my wife, it's all good! Thank you for watching!
