[@corazonstites5207]

Beautiful houses !

[@wrafl]

Great architectural design. Very modern and so impressive. Can't wait to see its completion and it's finished look.

[@jmfarrell5]

Thank you once again… your follow-up videos are always insightful and helpful. 👏🏻👏🏻

[@ArtCoDroneAndEntertianment]

Wow great video James love learning the different techniques in home building in the Philippine and it gives me ideas if I decide to build a home there.

[@bentlythomas8101]

Good morning now we’re living in the Philippines i been watching your videos since i lived in Las Vegas Nevada i lost connection to a lot’s of my KZbin channels now i’m getting channels back slowly. The last video i seen was installing the pool you speak well and show good videos thanks for sharing

[@MyPIDream]

Thank you for the kind words and best luck with your relocation to the Philippines!

[@henrywscorner6085]

Awesome video, Thanks JaMes !

[@barryinthepi390]

Both Houses are looking really nice. We are leaving Monday for Texas to attend my Brother's funeral. We will be back in 2 weeks. Take care, we will see you soon.

[@MyPIDream]

Sorry to hear about your brother Barry. Safe travels.

[@jocelynchanni2312]

That house of sir romeo is amazing! I like that very spacious living room🙂 Can't wait to build our dream house soon🙂🙏

[@MyPIDream]

Looking forward to seeing your house started!

[@bayareatanders]

Jealousy windows are difficult to open and the glass panels breaks easily. You almost have to have spare glass panels in case some panels break. Almost all the houses built in the Philippines in the 50s to the 70s had these type of windows. The new ones are Upvc and some prefer vinyl. Aluminum frames on windows will corrode over time.

[@arnoldvales784]

Another great video, James! Thank you! Personally, I would've spent a bit more on insulated windows for the rooms with ac. Jalousie windows have come a long way but still inefficient. On the other hand, Romeo's home is looking great! You really notice the difference in quality when a contractor is building their own home. I'm looking forward to your next update and hopefully you get to chat with Romeo next time.

[@russwells1825]

Thank you sir for another great video. We just bought property in the Philippines and have been getting building quotes. Looks like we wont be building anytime soon. The prices are crazy. They want to build our wall at a cost of more than we paid for the land. Wait...

[@MyPIDream]

Yes, walls these days cost more than P1m if the lot is something like 750 sqm or more. Concrete and steel reinforcement raw material costs have really gone up over the past 2 years.

[@myrrhavm]

Nice to see a single level homes. Prepared for the future when stairs are out of the question. Not sure why, but the architectural design surprises me in the Philippines. Also nice not to see corner columns/support’s protruding in the corners or along the walls of the rooms as seen in many homes. I thought I remember seeing water catchment and storage on some homes. Big backyard on home two. Swimming pool, garden?

[@MyPIDream]

Not sure at this time what Romeo's plans are for the back yard. Standby for any upgrades.

[@darinhoffman1839]

Hi James, we were so hoping to have our windows and sliding doors done prior to our departure in April 30, alas further delays. Some installed some glass on Wednesday, frustrating as this has been two supplies and 4 months. Slowly we are getting there. That being said if you and Ness still have time to travel this way for a few hours this week we’d love to have you. Otherwise we will hook up again in January when we return

[@MyPIDream]

Thanks for the invite Darin alas we just got back from a short vacation this morning and the calendar is full until around the second week of May. Glad to hear your project is moving forward, even if slowly. Will catch up with you when you return in January. Enjoy your travel!

[@darinhoffman1839]

@@MyPIDream ok thx James no worries we will definitely have you over in January or fiesta in February. Take care and keep the Philippines waiting for my full time retirement lol 🇵🇭🇵🇭☀️☀️💞💞🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@kyle3497-l3j]

👍👍🙏🙏❤️❤️🇸🇦🇸🇦

[@joseliz7923]

Hi James and ness great video thank you.Can you tell me please how is the measure Romeo house .

[@MyPIDream]

I don't currently have the sqm of Romeo's house but will estimate at around 180sqm.

[@raptor_nick]

Its 187 sqm so he says! 😊

[@Neal_only1]

I have a question about the solar systems that you have worked with, rather or not that those systems would support also a normal sized dryer or two for laundry operations?

[@MyPIDream]

Our solar system handle our washer/dryer combo without any problem. A hybrid system like ours will always handle your load because if your solar or battery battery will not have enough power to satisfy the load it will get whatever it needs from you public utility company.

[@hervemastin1371]

Hello James , the house of Romeo looks neat, do you know the size of his lot? Regards to Ness and you

[@MyPIDream]

750 sqm I believe.

[@stevebryce-grant1107]

Another great video showing two very beautiful houses. The construction method used by Romeo is it restricted to single story or can it go higher outside the likes of a sub division like your area?

[@MyPIDream]

We are allowed up to two stories in our subdivision. Maximum 9 meters in height.

[@CJCottage]

Hi James.. would you be kind to let us know please the lot area and floor area of these houses please? Much appreciated! 😊👍🏻God bless x

[@PoyenNY]

I love to watch your videos with exciting content. By the way how much does the land cost in that subdivision?

[@MyPIDream]

Thanks for watching! Currently lots here are selling for P6k/sqm. The pricing schedule goes up to P7.5k/sqm on May 01.

[@PoyenNY]

James, salamat for the information...say hello to Ness. Stay safe guys and more blessing

[@kuzinit2374]

It funny how people think Tarrazzo floors are something neat , but they don’t realize that is the way they built here in America 50 years ago

[@jamespierce8157]

I love that idea of cement Board Forms, poured in place walls verse traditional hollow block, but you never answered my question from when Romeo started the Project. Can this type of Cement Board Form support a second floor? Is it structurally strong to bare that weight load?

[@MyPIDream]

Romeo only started this project at the beginning of the year so he's only about 4 months into the project. And yes, form board construction can be on as many floors as you wish to build as these are not load bearing. The beams and columns are load bearing.

[@marcvivori1561]

Glenn’s house is beautiful. Will it have a pool? It needs Solar. IMHO, it’s crazy not to use Solar here bc the break-even timeframe is so short.

[@MyPIDream]

I don't think they have enough available space for a pool but I'm sure solar is in his future. Agree solar is a must in the Philippines.

[@somewhereonlyiknow]

Hi, which company did you get your solar hot water system? Thanks

[@MyPIDream]

Solanda Enterprises.

[@garytaylor7360]

As an estimate - how much for this house ? and land ???

[@MyPIDream]

The houses in this video will build out for somewhere between P8m-P12m depending on finishing material. Lots here in this subdivision go for P6k/sqm but go up to P7.5k/sqm as of May 1.

[@cnorth50]

any idea what the total cost of this project was?

[@Jon-oi8kn]

Hi James, could you share the contractor’s contact info? Looking to get a house built in Taal, Batangas. Thanks!
