Hey Paul, this is Joe and Lezyl. Thank you both you and your wife babyMae for coming over and doing that. I want to shout out for my workers six very good hard-working fun to be with Filipinos.
You got it!
Joe, do you know if basalt rebar is available in the Philippines? I'm still in the States but plan to retire there in the not too distant future. Basalt rebar is fantastically strong but it doesn't corrode even in saltwater areas.
This house is turning our really well!! I like that you adjusted the building quality to ensure that it will be standing for a very, very long time.
@@tryscience I don’t know I recently learned about plastic rebar, which sounds great. we painted all of our rebar as soon as it was delivered and would not except anything rusty.
@@JenGioPhilippineJourney I think I better retire but thank you
Lezyl speaks great English. Not giggly like some of the girls. Joe picked good one. Great job!!!!😊❤
Thank you ❤ 😊 appreciate your comment ❤
Funny couple, but a real couple, relaxed and sincere. They appear very happy together.😊😊😊
They are so down to earth, great people
You guys look so sweet. Carry on.God bless.
His wife speaks excellent English. Best of luck to them on the build and new life in the PH.
House is looking great! My Thai wife after 10 years in America, couldn't wait to move back home 😀.We packed up and moved to Thailand 2017.
Thanks! I guess she missed the Thai food too much!
This guy got lucky with this beautiful little lady! I don't mean because she is so beautiful, (which she is) but this young lady knows all the answers showing she is a big part of what is going on in that household. Woman like her is a blessing to us retired men like him ( and me). Hats off to him! good video Paul.
Hi @Bigpapatravels Thank you for your kind words! We appreciate the support.
Baby Mae be like I gotta' get me one of these! :)
Hi @rlwings Love it! She's definitely got her eyes on one now!
Old Dog! Thanks again for interviewing this beautiful couple. They have inspired my fiancé and I from your last video to work with the visa agency out of Manila. 👏🏻 💜 I hope you all have a blessed day!
That's a really nice house for a really nice couple. Love it!
Hi @jasond.2091 Thank you, we're happy to share our little slice of heaven with everyone!
I got it, never give up philippines 🇵🇭
I'm a retired construction worker, welder, maintenance man, handyman.
Great videos!!!!
Hi @richardmiller9391 Thanks for the support! We appreciate your background in construction too!
Great video, this shows with the right girl, an expat can have a home. The key is having the right girl. Best wishes for Joe and Lezyl. God Bless.
Look at that view... Now THATS living the dream!! Great work guys. Thank you for the inspiration! ❤
I love looking at the mountains when I have my coffee
Hi @Asadeso Thanks for enjoying the video and our little slice of paradise!
Great video Paul...And Joe and Lyzyl seem to be such a beautiful couple. The more I watch videos like this, the more I am jealous of those that have already made the move over. I sure hope these next 21 months go by fast. I cant wait to get started on the next phase of my life...Salamat
Nice build at a reasonable price! Kudos to them...
Good session, Paul...
🙏🙏🙏
👍😎👍
It's all about finding that sweet spot between quality and price, right?
Thanks 👍
Really interesting Paul. What a cute couple. Leyzl is a really good Formen for keeping things under budget. Joe, keeps things moving and on time. Great team.
I was thinking Davao and getting a Condo but now I'm rethinking about getting a parcel and build custom.
Every man's home is his castle... Or her office block!
🏰 🏢 🤠👍🏻
Hi @blackwoodrichmore4531 Love the reference!
HI PAUL , I could hang out with this guy. I am retired builder/engineer here in USA.
We usually stick frame on either poured concrete first floor or basement , depending on topography.
They are building a nice house there.
I think best thing there is a CONCRETE HOUSE.
TY again paul.
GOD BLESS CIAO
I agree with Joe's girlfriend that here in the USA the younger generation have no respect for anyone but every once in a while you can come across a young person that is respectful. LOVE FROM IOWA! 😊❤❤❤
Wife po
WIFE po, 😊 not GF
Hi @gaylegoeschel9850 Thanks, glad to hear that's your experience too!
Met Joe in Dumaguete at One Spartia Shortly after he purchased the land. Nice to see the progress. If possible do some more as time progresses.
Joe's land: From dirt to dream! Stay tuned for the transformation.
Hey guys, this is Joe and Lezyl from the castle. I think I was downstairs when I accidentally said contractor, but I meant to say foreman. Which we actually had two of by some funny accident
Thank you for showing us this build. Good luck finishing your home, Lezyl and Joe. OMGosh thats the names of my wifes cousin who is marrying an American this year...Lezl and Joe!!!..lol. Thanks for the tips on construction y'all. Will check out your channel soon Lezyl and Joe. Thanks for showing this video, enjoyed the video very much, Paul...Jim
Hi @jsully4064 Thanks, Jim! Glad you enjoyed the video and good luck to Lezyl and Joe's union!
I’m amazed at the speed and low cost in which this has been constructed! Outstanding and I love the space and how everything makes sense! Peace ☮️
Great video and a great house and a super great couple, thank you for the video.
Our pleasure!
Living onsite seems to be the key and making accommodations for the workers and a possible future caretaker (or mom) for someone to watch over when your not there. And just make your own Castle in the Jungle as you make it to fit what you want as they did for ping-pong and sewing rooms but kept the house simple with great humorous curb appeal
I can’t believe how fast they are going and how cheap they are doing it!
Hi @Landmantx That's the beauty of local labor here in Dumaguete!
VERY NICE 🏠 ❤
It is a thrilling thought to be able to make your dreams come true. Absolutely great for you.
Thanks Paul for Joe & Lezyl introduction. I’ll checkout their channel for construction techniques. Take care
Thank you for your kind words! I'm glad you found the introduction helpful. Enjoy learning from Joe & Lezyl!
I love it! Amazing! I can’t wait to see the final reveal.
Me too!

Marvelous... Thanks...
Hi @jimscholz2997 Thanks for watching!
Amazing house!! Paul, will you use all concrete for your upcoming home?
Very nice 👍
Hi @josephcmcauliffe1706 Thank you!
I imagine more rooms/space will mean more people who can live there...more family to feed and deal with for her.
Thank you Paul that was a great video kind of inspirational as well
Hi @clsybear Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!
Man that's the way to go. This will be there for ever. Remains me of German bunker style. Nice.❤
That explains it. Missouri. I'm here and we have lots rock queries. Holler from Ozarks❤❤
Great video! The house is amazing. Thanks, Paul!
I'm glad you enjoyed the video and the house!
HELLO Paul What a day ! Have a good one !!
Hey Saul 👋 great to see you
Cant wait to see it finished
Hi @liveandlearnwithmike Thanks, excited to share the progress!
Smart people. Great couple with down to the ground team work.
Hi @metaphy Thanks for the kind words! We appreciate your support.
Very good video. Interesting information for future builders
Hi @TomR61 Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
Love the bug out idea . Trying to decide between Thailand and the Philippines.
Cool house for just a small investment.
Hi @lavonyoung2366 Thanks, it's not just a house!
Love there dream well organized
Hi @Jim-zu2lr Thanks for watching!
Oh good for you. You’re finally building a house for your wife. It’s about time. Do you know if she’s waiting for it? don’t disappoint her. It’s every Filipina’s dream do you have a man build her her house👍🙏
Great video Paul. It will be great to see it when it's finished. Keep going strong Paul and live your best life!!!
Hi @tedlasalvia9668 Thanks for watching! We're excited to share the final result with you.
that house will never blow over in a hurricane but not so sure about the 11 roofs. Since electricity is expensive there, I'd mount solar to the roof and have batteries for storage. Lovely views up top. Hope that title for the land is clean.
That’s a good idea
Awesome place!
It really is!
It's so awesome, even unicorns want to hang out here!
Hi Paul. Great video and a great couple. I like the 6 month in/out. You get the best of both worlds. Building vertical is great. It’s commonplace in the northeast. The laundy chute is a good idea. The only negative with that is that it doesn’t become a wasp nest.
Thanks for the nice, we are putting in the screens
Well said!
Very cool couple & cool 🏡 house!
Hi @MsShipreck Thanks for watching and loving our humble abode!
Awesome project and awesome couple! Good morals and quality Pinoy!
Hi @jeffsharpton1421 Thanks for your kind words! We're proud to be part of this community.
thank you so much for doing this video we just bought 882 sq metres of land in panglao bohol and plan to build on it we are in canada but go back every year his advice on cement and rebar are great I want my place as strong as I can get it also, so thanks again and we will watch his videos on his channel also. we also want a bamboo house on our place so we can be there when they build
I like it
Hi @charlesanderson6986 Thanks for watching!
Happened to me too, we built the first floor then thought a terrace would be nice, now three floors later trying to get it finished to some degree. Used 10,12,16mm bars, added Sahara to the cement to waterproof.
Nice house for a nice couple👍
Thank you 😊
Thank you 😊
Very informative video. Paul been watching you for two years now. You always have good advice hope to move there someday when my wife and l retire.
Hi @edwinamell7617 Thanks for your loyalty! We're happy to be a part of your journey to the Philippines!
Amazing. That guy knows how to build...great imagination too..God bless..✝️
Hi @markpurcell1488 Thanks! We love seeing creativity thrive here!
cool, i did the same thing! never built a house OR worked with concrete before, but i used 1-2-3 mix ( half small crushed stone half larger size) and added sahara on the terrace slab. took me 6 months and i hired 5 guys from the village and a father and son from another village, the father was my foreman. i was sure it was the strongest structure in the philippines when i finished but maybe now its tied for that honor with his place! hahaa.
its looking good, i also have a telescope on my terrace and sort of castle look to the terrace handrail, its 4 ft. columns that extended up from downstairs columns but i put exposed round rock in them up top to give it an old castle style look and capped them off with concrete shaped like "japanese roofs" and i have 6 steel bars embedded in them all the way around to form the handrail. built my own bed frame out of wood also, and later made one for our daughter lol.
i used arch beams downstairs supporting the upstairs slab, it was interesting making the curved forms with coco-lumber framing we cut slots in to get it to curve. it came out looking kind of like an MC Escher drawing !
well, good luck, seems like you have a handle on everything ,enjoy your new place!
oh, i ended up spending 28,000 US, that was 2015 dollars.
100k soon 🎉 Greetings Paul and wife Mae 😊
Hi @tedrobertson1344 Thanks for watching!
I like the castle. Tell Joe and Lezyl that I live in Warrensburg, Missouri, right now. And looking to move to the Philippines to find myself a Filipina. I just turned 60. Medically retired and on disability benefits with a pension.
My wife's home was a single story on 250 meters. We couldn't build anywhere but up. We added a 2nd story for $25,000. We now have 6 bedrooms. Land is at a premium in the Philippines.
Where in Missouri? I live east of Branson. I have been a fan of yours Paul for several years. I haven’t been blessed with the opportunity to visit the Philippines as of yet.
One great thing about this video was that you can still build a house for 30-40K in Philippines. Before this everyone was talking about 100-300K which I thought was ridiculous. Good for them. Great job.
Once you let other contractors or an engineer handle the cost will be 3x. Or more and some of them not really use the good quality materials thier just sucking your money out from your pocket and driving with nice tracks 🤣
Thank you for watching
Hi @franky3231 Appreciate the support, glad to help dispel those high-cost misconceptions!
I’m still watching lol. Thanks Paul and Mae . Paul , you did great on video. Looks like I’m look good on this full height of me Lol.
Hi @LeezJoe10589 Thanks! Glad you're enjoying it!
Freaking awesome 35G for that much home.......
Telescope! Awesome. You were reading my mind. Just a note. If it is on the upper floors, the scope should be mounted on an isolated pedestal to the ground foundation. Otherwise people walking around on upper floors with cause vibrations in the scope. It will be annoying as hell. My daughter’s high school had this problem. Anyway love your observatory.
Good advice thank you
You are welcome gret content and interviews noted
Hi @johnwakefield9378 Thanks for the kind words!
Paul could build castle greyskulls as his side hustle there
I might buy that if he put it up for sale
Pretty amazing the speed they built their house and the rapport w/ his filipino contractors. It is only my opinion to people who are thinking of building their castle is the hire a professional Architect to help them through design.
Wish them lots of happiness
Thanks for the happy vibes! Wishing you all the good stuff in return!
@@paulinthephilippinesolddog9234 thanks Paul.
Just add some solar panels on the roof and it will be perfect. 8-)
Thank you for the suggestion! Solar panels would definitely be a smart addition to the setup.
Have a friend here that built a house north of Manila that traveled like that 6 months each place , when they went back a few years ago the house next door was sold to an ex realtor who in turn built a wall across there access then tried to buy there place for next to nothing , they are still in the courts
Wow land was a little over 1k php a SQM. Land prices are crazy now
LOL! What a fun video
It was fun to video 😅
Your support means the world to me! Thank you for watching and laughing along.
You know you married up when your gal has the running costs figured down to the dollar! Holy crap! I've been in the house I built for 20 years and still don't know what the total cost was. I could get within say, $2,500 either way at best. Great people. Wacky house. Got to love it.
Yet another great vid by Paul.👍
Hi @goatman3828 Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank s Paul
I’m Mike one of the crazy people 😂
I enjoy your videos
Yes you are!
Yes you are!
Yes you are!
Concrete house. Did you do footings. And is there a basement in the house.
I would find the house rather claustrophobic, such tiny little rooms. As long as they are happy, good for them. I must add, what a great couple.
Paul, you were thinking of building a house for Mae on your property. Will Mae need a 1 story castle? Complete with towers and Battlements?
