Thanks James, made us aware of what NOT to do in the philippines in regards to garage doors (among other things)...love the new garage doors by the way with soooo much light coming in👍👍

[@colingamble-beresford2387]

Looks much better than the original, and you can save getting wet by using the remote sitting in the comfort of the truck. All you need now is a gadget to unload the groceries!😂

[@AuralioCabal-nl8gi]

The humidity weather and Sun plays havoc on anything wood in The Philippines ,not to mention Termites and Bukbok.

[@marksawyer6737]

That door motor is the future! Quiet and smooth! Forget those archaic center-mounted chain drives! Modern door too, I like the one way mirror windows :)

[@mersase1]

Garage doors like the new homes in states … nice upgrade !

[@darinhoffman1839]

Ah thank God I was having PI Dream withdrawal lol Can you imagine I had to watch reruns James 😂😂

[@smartbiz888]

Great upgrade! The door looks very nice and also holy cow, so modern too...I like the glass, the remote capabilities, and the safety features...Enjoy that additional light, and also the switch in ambiance that the door provides! Have a super day, James & Ness! 😎

[@alma_and_andy]

Remember the original gate built, when you were hoping to get such one. Finally you got it 🤩 Congrats

[@brummiesteve590]

Hi James, playing catch up again. Haircut looks good, way younger. This is just a note on use of aircrete. This product is all the rage at moment in Philippines as was 20 30 yrs ago in UK. We now paying the penalty as its failing. Schools closed as walls crumbling. This product first came to light to me 50+ yrs back as carving material at school, but was used in construction as secondary walling and never as load carrying. You can check UK news to see this problem. Many vids in Philippines seem to use as main structure with added rebar. I give it 30 yrs before it fails. Have watch you since covid, when watching upto 15 vids a day lol. All the best.

[@MyPIDream]

Thanks for enlightening us about aircrete. There are so many poor construction techniques that are still being used these days.

[@Neal_only1]

Good evening James, magandang hapon po, enjoying life here in the Philippines and hope your doing well😊

[@cvaldo99]

Man if I'm being honest, I missed this kind of content from you. I was drawn to this channel because of a fridge repair video, and have enjoyed watching all the things you've done to your place over the years. Lately it felt like a real state channel lol

[@wallysworld5518]

Haven't watched one of your videos for a while. Looks like you got a haircut since then. Are you ready to return to active duty? Did your read the Air Force is asking retirees to come back on active duty. Hahaha The new door looks amazing!

[@abritishexpatinthephilippines]

In Australia it's called a tilt-a-door great idea🤗♥️

[@patrickobrien5367]

Good morning James looking good 👍 😎 ok stay safe and thanks again for your video 📹 👍 😊

[@MyPIDream]

Thanks, you too Patrick!

[@Landmantx]

I used to install garage doors when I was in High School. Interesting to see all the new tech. I never installed a side motor like that on any house back then.

[@barryinthepi390]

That's a really nice garage doors James. Since we have a carport, we do have to have the clear plastic panels on top of the carport cleaned every few months. We now have a new young guy taking care of out yard. He is a really hard worker.

[@romeoperez8463]

Awesome James, thanks for sharing - I might need the names of your contractors in the future 🙂

[@myrrhavm]

Funny. Before you got too deep in the video. I mentioned to my wife, that guy is still in good shape if he can handle those doors. Then you mention you’re going to wait for the young guys to show up. Those side mount motors are all the rage right now here in the states. Nice looking door. Better be careful you don’t the door to the other home in the states by mistake. All that natural light looks good. Might interfere with the TV room right there though. Thought sometime back I’ve seen some window film that’s supposed to reinforce windows against hurricane and tornado type gusts. Now don’t hold me to it.

[@raananh]

James, for the humid wet and hot climate, the best is painted aluminum for garage doors, window frames, etc. Even wood furniture inside the house made of real wood would lose it's shape. For this, engineered wood would work better.

[@Rogerla62]

Looks very sharp. At least the way it is located it seems to be protected from direct winds.

[@claireking7534]

nice😊🙏

[@joefugate9338]

Looking good.

[@TaekwondoTeam24]

Finally able to see you guys vids again. Dang! Notif got setup to selected only haha (I remember last time when this garage built) nice haircuts! Very nice garage door! ❤

[@geofffergusson7438]

Very nice up grade

[@PhilippinesLife101]

Very nice. I don't think you will have too much problem with high winds as your door is mostly below grade, but debris might be an issue since it is glass. I had cat 4 rated garage doors installed in my house in Florida but the house wasn't rated for those types of wind so might have been pointless anyway. I did however liked the insulated doors, but since yours are below ground you probably don't need that either. Great upgrade James.

[@MyPIDream]

Thank you for sharing!

[@alexb7081]

Awesome, I didn’t know you have that option for garage door. It wasn’t long ago when you don’t have that. But it looks great James. Good job!

[@paulcarvalho977]

very nice door and quality.

[@jmfarrell5]

Excellent improvement. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@kitsanchez2016]

This is awesome James. Great idea!

[@Synfulz]

A very nice looking door James.

[@jackastor8357]

Great haircut

[@hervemastin1371]

Nice door! I think as the door is lower than the ground level, you should not have too many issues with high winds.

[@pjack2533]

Magandang umaga James and Ness.😃😃

[@abritishexpatinthephilippines]

James and Ness it must be ESP...Im renovating the carport and have turned it into a business use so Jane and the girls can look at a profitable venture...love the hair no pigtails?♥️♥️

[@MyPIDream]

Too hot for long hair anymore. Thanks for sharing!

[@user-ns2rh9ce9x]

Very nice looking door. Martin Johnson Vancouver, BC.

[@pogiboy3571]

Nice cut dude.... keep on rockin' to CCR.

[@ArtCoDroneSolutions]

Great video James can't wait to see them when I come out in May.

[@brummiesteve590]

Ps new doors look great.

[@HelenTadle]

Hi James! You look 10 years younger with your new hair cut. Also, what a nice door upgrade.

[@MyPIDream]

Thanks so much for the kind words Helen! 😊

[@wayneseymour1]

Hi James hi Ness. James! beautiful upgrade man! really compliments the house.. BTW I'm still an avid fan, just been under the weather these past months why I haven't been in the comments but thank God on the mends. Now with all the great light flooding the garage shop time should be a more pleasurable time. Your neck of the woods sure is growing.😃 PS love the regulation haircut,looks USMC HOO!RA! but I thought you were USAF, We flyboys gotta stick together, strictly Skin. LOL😊😅😅😂

[@MyPIDream]

Yes, USAF retiree but the haircut was a necessity to prepare for the long, hot summer here. Good to hear from you Wayne!

[@natureloveruae9407]

[@balikbayanfarmingwithdavee2484]

Looks great James, Your new Truck windshield looks really Dark. Hope you can see at night.

[@MyPIDream]

They put too dark of a tint when I specifically asked for a very light shade. I'll be removing the lower section to no tint when I get time.

[@balikbayanfarmingwithdavee2484]

@@MyPIDream I got my new Windshield done with a dark 10 inch Visor tint a the Top only, I was surprised that the glass was just like the factory glass (tinted) down to the bubble pattern all around and under the rear view mirror mount. 6,500php installed and 2650php paid by the insurance company my deductible, so it less than 4k my part. Aguila Glass did a great Job.

[@greg3296]

Good Video, I have that Liftmaster on my house for about 5 years now and its awesome , less moving parts and quiet. I like the add on lock for extra security. How much was the door? Hope those glass panels hold up, looks nice but personally i would have opted for the hurricane rated door. Hair cut looks great, more age appropriate. Wish you and Ness the best.

[@MyPIDream]

The total price for the doors and installation was P240k. Expensive but seems to be the going rate for this type door in the Philippines.

[@greg3296]

@@MyPIDream I bet those glass doors are about 4k and up here in Cali

[@demetriusboyd24]

Great video. Are you going to worldbex 2024?? I lived the video you made before on alternatives to hollow block

[@MyPIDream]

Our schedule this year conflicts with the dates of WorldBEX. I'm hoping for 2025 to visit both the Consumer Electronics and Builders expos.

[@jackastor8357]

We had center motor here in Canada but it's not neat as side motor.

[@AuralioCabal-nl8gi]

James , Have you come across any contractor that uses Prepainted aluminium trim , like for gutters and Windows, like they have in the US and Canada?

[@MyPIDream]

Yes. I believe they use the term "powder coating" painting for the aluminum window frames.

[@philam1973]

Do you find a large amount of maintenance required to a house built in the tropics? We have been here 7 years in an American size home. The first metal water tank rusted after 1 year. Fibreglass with a rubber bladder now. Hinges on the shower door rusted after 5 years. Hard water deposits on 3 toilets lasted 7 years. Turns out the installers shortened screws so the tank hardware would fit. I have to chip out the hard water deposits. I’m still waiting for the water shutoff valves to fail. That is going to be tough to replace.

[@AuralioCabal-nl8gi]

Install ball valves with threaded union connectors for easy replacement in the future, you can even use black PE Ball valves , compression on both ends they are pretty cheap.

[@MyPIDream]

There are some environmental challenges here unique to the Philippines or any tropical region. Mostly related to moisture and insects. It used to be very difficult to find quality building materials but over the 7 years living here I'm finding the market is getting better with regard to higher quality building materials but you might have to be resourceful in your search. We use a water softener as part of our 3 stage water filtration system and it helps quite a bit avoiding the water stains and hardness on bathroom/kitchen hardware.

[@user-ns2rh9ce9x]

James how much for the garage door & install, also for the lift master motor.

[@MyPIDream]

Garage door P240k (not cheap). Liftmaster 8900W USD$415 plus shipping.

[@catherineta]

Hi sir James, ​then ₱240k is the reduced price? it would have Originally been more than ₱240k if you used the Garage company’s own machine instead of your own bought Liftmaster that you prefer? What would have been original price if you used the Garage company’s own?

[@MyPIDream]

Although I didn't ask for a quote, a quick search for garage door operators in the Philippines shows pricing between P20k-P25k.

[@catherineta]

@@MyPIDream Thanks po for the response. Greetings from Guam.

[@etrnlygr8tful]

Any warranty on the garage door & for how long?

[@MyPIDream]

The warranty is for 1 year.

[@etrnlygr8tful]

@@MyPIDream interesting...only 1 year? I would assume just for the moving parts since you use your own motor. I do hope for the price you pay you get to keep the motor that they were supposed to install. Anyway thank you, the door is beautiful.

[@josephlim9134]

What's your next project? :)

[@MyPIDream]

Second floor pergola on our lanai/patio.

[@jimij07]

How much for the doors?

[@MyPIDream]

P240k including installation.

[@davidj.leavitt249]

Hmmmmmm, kiln dried wood is good for interior use, but is a waste of time, effort, and money to use on exterior applications in the Philippines. It is much better to acclimate the wood to the environment that it will be used in prior to cutting, shaping, sanding, and finishing it.

[@MyPIDream]

Great point!

[@marcforsyth9610]

I tried acclimating togus wood for 3 years, prior to creating 8 foot interior doors and in 2 years they still warped. I may look into kiln dried for future wood products.

[@iceblue6971]

That's a real beauty you got there
