British Man and a Filipino Woman building in the Philippines Week 35 - the house so far
A lot has happened since I was away. A quick tour of the house. Sorry for the delay this week as I have had problems with my external SSD.
Best advice is keep a close eye on all of the tasks being done and make sure they are done in the correct order. Fail to plan, plan to fail

I left in March 2024 to go back to the UK for business. I came back to the build in June 2024 and the difference was immense. Vlog show the building before I left and then when I returned. Footage from a DJI Mini SE drone

Looking good from Milton Keynes..originally from southafrica..
Al right mate you sound like you are from the north east whatv part of the Philippines are you building at I'm also married a philipina and we have a lot in bohol which we are planning to start at the end of the year I will subscribe and watch the progress My name is Alan from a place called Trimdon
Hi Alan, just down the road from Sunderland. lol. We are building in Bacnotan La Union
Wow si nice to have an own house
Good progress!
Thanks!
Nice progress. Thanks.
Thanks for watching!
i'm SOOOOO glad i'm done with building here...
New subscriber here. Look forward to watching your videos
Awesome! Thank you!
Good idea to put lintelbeams in the building make it stonger. Question about the Hollow Blocks did you test them when you trow one on the floor does they keep intact?
50% did. Remember the hollow blocks are filled with rebar and cement also to maintain wall integrity.
are the hollow block walls structural?
The ones in the foundations, yes sort of but they have heavy beams over the tops. But the remainder , no. All main weight is taken by the beams. This can be seen on further videos
Hello po, why Make m Italian? what does it mean big hug from italy
I am from Sunderland UK. We are known as MACKEMS - it was from a ship building town and we used to MAK EM and TAK EM. lol The Italian part is because I have a house in Northern Italy and I spend a lot of time there
Grazie mille per la tua spiegazione!!
If I was you , stop calling your partner the boss lady. You are equal. She will believe she is the boss & when the house is finished your life will be hell.
lol. Well I am the boss (when she isnt there) lol
Hi I see that the floor is substantially elevated is a water flood issue or for viewing or something else. Just wondering. 😊
we are only about 50-70m from the sea. We dont flood or at least not within the last 10 years since the plot was ours. We wanted to mitigate problems as far as possible.
HI thanks for that good safety measure
It's great that you still had time (& not too much extra effort) to make the needed changes before it was too late. Thank you.
No worries!
2 issues i see. Pouring the columns before the wals are built is not as solid as building the walls first. The columns then encase the ends of the walls. I done it with mine and we were hit with that 7.2 quake last year and the house just shrugged it off. Another thing is...... there's a lot if glass. Glass is hard to insulate. If anything it kinda magnifies the sun. Its just my own experience with building my house here
The columns are integral to the structure as every 2nd course is tied with rebar back to the columns
You sure do put down Filipinos in all of your videos that I hav3 watched.
I didn't realise I was. Its probably because of their different methods of working to which I am used to
Porko zio…azz stai li a fa? 😅
lol È tutta questione di muscoli lol
@@mackemitalian bravo zio, bella vita a tutti 👍
whats the price of ready mix concrete and a pump ?
I would have loved to used ready mixed pumped but we have a problem in the area. There is none
What size is house going to be looks huge ?
224m2
Wow, nice progress there. Nice to see walls going up. Thank you.
Happy birthday 🎉🎉🎉🎉😂🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Good morning and good luck with the house 🏠 😊
We plan to start building soon in Leyte. I like how you're raising the foundation. I plan on doing that as well. Happy Birthday
Great video and progress (quality work) … bathroom vents 👍🏻👍🏻 Happy birthday wishes.
Happy Birthday mr. Steve! 😍👍
And a happy birthday Mate how many years? CHEERS🍺🍺🍺🍺
63. Thank you
Hello mate i am Jack from the Netherlands did found your channel. Nice to see your build proces. Me and my wife also going to build on Leyte. Good to see you did put all the water pipes close to each other. Mostly in the PH you see bathroom left of the house toilet on the back. cost you many metres of pipe. How thick you going to make your concrete floor? Be aware the CHB blocks are nor pressure or load bearing. You will get a lot of pressure on your lower walls because of the groundfill. I wil follow you with interest and every time a thums up mate. One thing check check check everyting and be sure that you know what the guys are doing. succes Regards Jack
Floor is about 8 cms from what I remember. But we have a great deal of rebar in the structure. I was concerned when the truck was delivering material and was driving over the mountain soil. No problems. Solid as a FILIPINO house lol
lol@@mackemitalian
Land is always owned by Filipino in less a company. Then it also has conditions.. i believe you can own the house. Strange laws in the Philippines
in the PHL, u pay peanuts, u get monkeys
Very true and tge monkeys family, a package deal my friend, don't be the next victim.
👍🎂👍
Lot's of hard work 💪 good luck with the house 🏠 👍
you should do a video talking about the cost of the land and project associated costs etc
Just rent a house, no need to build in that country
My thinking too. Rent is very cheap.
I am not a one for renting. I am from the UK and we always want to own our castle lol
Please, switch on the subtitles. I understand only a half of what you said.
First drone, first try. Step by step. I wish you success in building your home. Nice plot, next to the ocean.
You pay cheap you get cheap.
yes. there are so many Chinese copies of the same type being sold by many on Lazarda.
@@mackemitalian Yes to include Filipina ladies, just order one.
Instead of laughing on them, why don't you rent a machine, show your British way
He's broke.
lol. I buy power tools to help them.
probably by the end of the build. If you see me outside of CSI with my coffee cup, please put in a peso lol
Hi from Australia, just subscribed, just a wee background on myself, married to a beautiful Filipina for 26 years, living in Aussie land, 2 kids, daughter 25 , and a son who is almost 18, enough about me, I am very interested to see how your build will go, so far I am very impressed, looks good 🇬🇧🇦🇺🇵🇭👍
Hello!
I've really no idea why you put loud music on a video. Completely pointless.
You should hear some of my music collection. Talk about heavy lol
