We finally get some real tech, Starlink and some wireless mics

[@smartbiz888]

Starlink is a game changer for many people and is useful as a primary Internet connection... The fiber connection can be there as a backup maybe (I am a big fan of Plan B and even C). Why? I am literally tied to having a connection 24/7 as our clients are spread out globally... Good stuff! The mikes sound great... Handy and so easy to use, especially if you're moving around... Finally, the dirty kitchen area is shaping up to be a nice addition to the house... Dirty is a misnomer in your case... You've put together one of the cleanest "dirty kitchens" I've seen... This comes from a dude (me!) who has lived with the concept a LOT over the years, haha... In the Army, when deployed, camping in USA and Europe, and while travelling to austere and unfriendly areas, dirty (REALLY dirty at times!) kitchens were the norm... Anyway... Enjoy your weekend. Here in Dubai, we'll do the same... 🙏🙏🙏 👍😎👍

[@buildingthephilippines]

@smartbiz888 thank you, appreciate the comment. Thanks for watching our videos. Enjoy your weekend as well.

[@garykelder]

Sounds good with new mics. It will be interesting to see your detailed report on Starlink. Dirty kitchen ceiling project nearing completion. 🎉

[@buildingthephilippines]

@garykelder new mics work great. Installing starlink today on the roof, not looking forward to it. Can't want to have a clean dirty kitchen.

[@paulchesney1798]

Thanks for the new vid.We finally after one year found a nice lot by the WFS.After a few attempts by lot sellers to do us dirty, we found a 1639 sq mtr lot in a much more quiet area.If all goes well ,we will close with our attorney next week.Thanks for the ideas and your experiences.

[@buildingthephilippines]

Congrats on finding land. Glad to hear that. Appreciate the comment.

[@offthecuffadventureswithjamie]

That’s great Greg so you have multiple extenders throughout the house. Great coverage is a luxury that we deserve at our age! 🤭 Well done sir. I’ve added an additional one upstairs at our townhouse. It was becoming a nuisance. Enjoy your weekend and keep smiling! J

[@buildingthephilippines]

Yes, these mesh systems really give you consistent coverage throughout the property. Thanks for watching.

[@rosemariealmero1214]

Glad you’re happy with your new 🎤. 👍 Your dirty clean kitchen is on its way 🎉cant wait For The Final reveal 😅

[@buildingthephilippines]

It will hopefully be done soon. Thanks for commenting.

[@charleshill71]

Thanks for the update. Thank you both.

[@buildingthephilippines]

Your welcome Charles

[@bethgaudreault8031]

looking good much brighter in there .

[@buildingthephilippines]

Yes, will finally be a proper place to cook.

[@JMgmkh]

PLDT is at the moment putting lines up our mountain road. However , for the same reason you went with Starlink , I will keep mine. After a storm , the provinces will likely be last priority for repairs.

[@buildingthephilippines]

Yes, I believe after a Typhoon the lines could be out for an extended period of time.

[@duanebock840]

Glad you guys are back

[@buildingthephilippines]

Glad to be back.

[@lindabuck2777]

The new mike’s are great! Outside windy days is the test too lol. The gusts go with the laser and should be sent to bed no supper-naughty beings!!!😂 Prince said you’re ignoring me haha now you can’t I got your hand -too cute. It’s a Texas two step; two steps forward twirl two steps to the side dance we do having workers😉 It’s all coming together beautifully, and don’t want it to end coz it’s the journey🌟🥰🙏🏻❤️

[@buildingthephilippines]

Glad we finally have wireless mics. Prince wants to cling to me all day. Thanks for watching.

[@jerrymarshall2728]

Interesting system with the Starlink! 👍 You can get the wireless microphones for a good, low, price, these days. I think my 2 microphones, the receiver unit, and accessories were around $25USD! 😲 They work great, as evidenced on my last video, where I interviewed "The 'Big Papi' of Walking Street', while Mike and Janet were here this week. The receiver of my microphones will plug into iPhone, or USB-C (my Samsung S24 Ultra), and this was the first time using them after I switched from iPhone to Android

[@buildingthephilippines]

Yes, they sync very easy. Glad to hear you had a nice visor. Be well.

[@BarakTheWonderer]

I would recommend, having your Solar guy do it. They have the experience and will do a good job for you, and you don't need to take any chances. Whatever the cost is, it will be worth it. Please consider this. Be well.

[@buildingthephilippines]

Thanks for the suggestion, appreciate it.

[@WolfgangRohm]

Hi Wilma & Greg. Watch out, when will enter the roof. I am excited to hear, what is your experience with Starlink. The sound is much better with the mics. Love your videos!

[@buildingthephilippines]

Thanks for watching our videos. So far, Starlink has been great.

[@mefarrehal-harbi489]

Congratulations on star link,had one here in Bacong for the past 6 months, no issues , except for minor interruptions here and there for a few seconds otherwise it's perfect.

[@buildingthephilippines]

@mefarrehal-harbi489 great to know, thanks for the information. So far so good here.

[@coco19661]

Nice video

[@buildingthephilippines]

@@coco19661 thank you

[@Landmantx]

We just got the Starlink, but I didn’t know you needed to buy a separate cord to be able to run it into a mesh network, so only my second floor has wifi. It doesn’t go through the concrete and steel down to the first floor and basement. I have ordered that cable and hope that we can get full coverage with our 3 node mesh network.

[@Landmantx]

Btw, the cord is available on Amazon if you find you need it like we did.

[@buildingthephilippines]

Yes, I order the cord when I ordered the unit. They actually arrived the same day. Lucky I guess.

[@buildingthephilippines]

Yes, already ordered it. Thanks.

[@tumdeedaidee7835]

I would mount it onto some marine plywood and hold it down with sand bags. Seen a few people do it this way. Less chance of damaging roof.

[@buildingthephilippines]

Video of install coming out soon.

[@chriselmore1969]

@buildingthephilippines Question! If you are going to use that back area as storage and have the partition up, how are you going to conveniently get to that window to open it for the airflow you mentioned?

[@chriselmore1969]

Oh BTW! The mics sound great!

[@buildingthephilippines]

I won't block the windows with stuff, just the sides. Partician is mobile, so can move as needed.

[@davelam0U812]

Seriously, Greg, what if there were a weatherproof, boot you can purchase locally . We call them witches cap in the Electrical world. We run all of the rooftop required electrical conduits to AC Units etc. using this method . To seal you use roof tar or heavy duty waterproofing adhesive to sealant around it. Not say never but 99% of the time we’ve never been called back to re-seal the witches cap even within a 10 year period Just a suggestion…

[@buildingthephilippines]

@@davelam0U812 we have moved to plan b. Stay tuned.

[@mikeheyjoebuenavistadreamin272]

i thought the door and screen guys were going to mount the sliding doo directly to the cement ? not in top of the tile? maybe i am remembering wrong,, new microphones sound great

[@buildingthephilippines]

I thought so, too. When they were here to measure, they asked us to install the tile first.

[@chriselmore1969]

That was the original plan, but in a previous video Greg stated that the installers said it was fine to attach it directly to the tile because it didn't get water there because of the covering over the garage.

[@chriselmore1969]

Sorry, I didn't see your reply already

[@buildingthephilippines]

Yes, that's correct. They asked us to tile since no rain hits that area. You have a good memory.

[@buildingthephilippines]

No problem.

[@Chickenlegs836]

HI 👋 U2! Did you notice Greg when you talk we hear Wilmas voice?? 🤪. Hopefully you will finally be done with the honey doo projects & relax with a nice large Pina colada 🍹! Stay safe going up on ladders& roof.Blessings 🙏🌺🌼🌸

[@buildingthephilippines]

I like Pina coladas. All done with the roof, had to climb up 3 times. Honey do list is still pretty long. We will keep plugging along.

[@Chickenlegs836]

@@buildingthephilippines Dont burn yourself out 👍. Looking forward to more content from your neighbors build & the one down the hill. Much appreciate your videos Greg & Wilma 👍🙏😉. My crystal egg 🥚 sees a well deserved vacation when you’re done! TY & Blessings 😉🌺🌼🌸

[@buildingthephilippines]

We are thinking that as well. We do like keeping busy, keeps us moving and from getting bored.

[@Chickenlegs836]

@@buildingthephilippines I agree but don’t get burned out! Like you yes like being busy but also must take breaks to rest the body & mind!! Enjoy your weekend!👍🙏😉

[@joedavis2066]

Hi guys, question is did the roof mounting plate come standard in the starlink to attach directly to the roof using 4 mounting bolts/screws? My Gen3 is on order. Some sites say yes and others say you buy separate. How is the pup doing? My 6mo old Corso is already showing his protecting instincts. Glad I have experience in this field. Be safe guys, Joe

[@buildingthephilippines]

Hi Joe, it comes with a stand with 4 legs. I had a metal plate fabricated here locally to install on my roof. It will be on a future video this week. Prince is doing great. Really getting mature at 12 months. Definitely protective.

[@joedavis2066]

@@buildingthephilippines Yes, hopefully comes with the four legs. I bought 170lb magnets for attachments on metal roof and see how it works. Glad Prince is doing the job. Can't wait to move away from beach front rental in a few more weeks. Won't get into that issue. Take care, hope to meet up one day. Joe

[@buildingthephilippines]

Yeah, sounds good. I'm sure our paths will cross.

[@tonybattaglio4625]

How about the pipe for the solar panels is that a good route?

[@buildingthephilippines]

@tonybattaglio4625 no, that goes down to the electrical panel. I did it another way, will see on next video.

[@TheBadlildoggie]

You might want to invest in sunglasses for when you go into the dirty kitchen, lol

[@lindabuck2777]

😂😂😂 right?

[@tonybattaglio4625]

So your tiling over tile ?

[@buildingthephilippines]

@tonybattaglio4625 No, about 75% done, lots of cuts. I also used disco up on the roof getting starlink installed.

[@philrose7716]

In reality, nothing in the physical world can be deemed absolutely perfect since perfection implies an absence of flaws or limitations. Instead, it's more accurate to view perfection as a dynamic and evolving ideal that continually inspires us to strive for improvement and excellence.

[@buildingthephilippines]

Very true, we do the best we can do to make it as nice as our budget and skill level allows.

[@philrose7716]

@buildingthephilippines I been told by friends that I'm a perfectionist. Sometimes, I find that with home improvement, a tiny minut flaw. Since we know that thing can never be absolutely perfect. We live with it.

[@buildingthephilippines]

I'm the same way.

[@nitram1342]

Hi, I’m also Samsung. Can you let us know which mikes you purchased. Sound is excellent so would like to order a couple.

[@buildingthephilippines]

Lavalier Type C on Lazada. You can get just one or two mics. Well worth getting two.

[@iamwesterncanadian570]

The mics sound great.. Do you think 40,000 is fare price for Jewels house per mouth. If I was moving there I'd jump on that.

[@buildingthephilippines]

I do, it's a really nice house with pool.

[@buildingthephilippines]

Two weeks, you need to open a ticket on the starlink app.

[@amowatt01]

Really dont want to see u put a hole in ur roof above the TV in living room (if tht starts to leak it will be an issue).........why not run s/link cable through or following the mesh link cable route starting from outside back into house while still hiding it......if I am understanding wht u described in the vid........but u have a better understanding of of the structures of ur roof. Look forward to see how u do it.

[@buildingthephilippines]

We are already on plan b. Will do a video.

[@BackInThePhilippines]

How long did it take you to get your Starlink? I ordered a refurbished one to save money and it's been 7 weeks! I contacted support and they responded with backorders and they will send me a notification when it's shipped.

[@buildingthephilippines]

It took 2 weeks from order to delivery.

[@JMgmkh]

You forgot to "tip" . 😆

Gave the 2 guys 500 peso tip in total.
