- A recent American arrival with a Dual Citizen wife, began building his retirement home with a $40,000 budget for around 1,000 SF of living space. Built for his needs and with sustainable power to come, Sean shares with us his vision built without hollow blocks.
I don't know how many people caught it but I laughed so hard when you said, "So, the British are not coming". 😂
We will see how many likes your comment gets... but for now i think it is just us!
Oh no, I caught that too.
YES, great line.
with all respect to admin maybe you will love my video too: walk with rooha
I'm British....I'm coming lol
The reason they use hollow block (we call it breeze block in Australia) is to dissipate the latent heat the concrete absorbs, exposed solid concrete in Deserts/Tropics is a permanent hot box.
Aircrete sprayed over the surface would insulate the concrete from the sun, if it turns out to hot later on you can do this later after its all built.
Hey mate, im building on Siargao Island soon...possibly the typhoon capital of Pinas at the moment...or at last for the last 10 years of the 100 year weather cycle. I was raised in the outback until early teen years and when i live in Australia im on the Gold Coast.
In Australia we have Besser blocks where we core fill with Y16 or even Y32 Reo bars. Is that what you are calling "breeze blocks" or is there something else you are using ? looking for advice...thanks mate...
Footings, columns and beams should be reinforced concrete. While walls both exterior and interior can be concrete hollow blocks with temperature bars only vertical at every other block and horizontal at every four layers of concrete blocks.This type of structure can survive super typhoons.
Sean has a wealth of hands on knowledge to share about the local building practice. To bad Tim kept interrupting. I hope if he goes back, he allows Sean talk. Take photos of the manufactures wrappers on the building materials such as the Portland cement bags, So one important Sean fact I heard, #4 bar in all the flatwork and #5 bar in the columns, that makes sense. I wonder if the structural steel is grade 60? All rebar to be overlapped 30 bar diameters, Very important, Sean is making sure his workers pour low slump concrete. Placement of the structural steel in the section of the flat work (roof) also very important. Looking forward to hearing more about Sean's project . I would like to connect with him in November.
The Big Bad Typhoon Wolf will huff and puff and huff and puff but will not blow down that sold poured cement home. Special thanks to Shawn showing us the begining of this amazing built home. Thumbs up Tim and Chrissy. May your home be as solid as this one is. Safety First.
that wolf sure does puff man..
The beach house (5000 sq ft) we built in Belize had hollow block but they were filled with rebar and concrete. We also made our own blocks so they were quality blocks made with river gravel and mountain sand. We went through several hurricanes at home and never had a problem as it was strong as a bunker.
How much the machine costed to do those blocks? What costed you per sf to build the house in total?
Special thanks to Sean for giving us a tour and showing me in detail the type of construction I would like to use (no hollow blocks).
I agree no hollow blocks.
Watch " Texas Filipono" on youtube down on Paney Island. James as built a 3 story Concrete house !
@@johnmarlin4661 haha I watch him too
They have sheet rock there
You can drop a hollow blk on the ground it will break
This guy is very hands on knows everything going on in construction. That is good. Best of luck🙏🙏🙏
Always learning from the boots on the ground!…. Thanks Tim good video and a big thanks to Shawn for sharing!
This couple is like every Filipino American couple I know, haha. They really are a great couple. It’s good when the guy is happy go lucky and not too emotional, impatient or temperamental. He’s a smart guy. It’s also great when the Filipina is sweet and funny. That always works.
I used Grade A hollow block in my house in Albuera Leyte. It’s been through two Typhoons and several earthquakes so far with no damage. I think the important construction detail is to use a steel truss roof and be sure it gets anchored in properly. We used hardy board for the kisame. I used the archetect to build the structural and preached about having proper overlap of the rebar joints. I do like the solid concrete walls. SCIP might be a suitable alternative if available in philipines . Expensive though
that was very enriching when Sean explained the difference between hollow blocks and concrete. really makes sense. i love this episode Tim.
No hollow blocks, wow! 😀. Shout out to Sean for explaining it all. Gives me a huge insight as to build our future house there. Another great video. 🙂👍
@bernard martin has he got a channel?
Forget that, found him!!😁
@@cookingbetter thank you
@bernard martin thank you
Great video. We are currently building a house on Leyte. It is a bigger 3 story. It is just about finished. Had a great architect that designed it and ran the job. Got a great price. I understand the reason he will use drywall, but personally I would not use the dry wall because of flooding there. The great thing about just concrete walls is they handle the water and don't have to be replaced. But you get a little flood water on the drywall and you have a big problem.
good point, but in his defense this area is popular because he is not in a flood prone area and well above the ocean's surge levels
We will be building in Leyte and using poured walls. Are there many contractors that know the method? My brother-in-law says there are. We will be up the mountain in the province above Ormoc and Kananga. Thanks!
@@TimKyoutube Inox reabar, like in Canadá new Bridge
Why would you build in Leyte if the typhoons always pass there? Why not pick another island that typhoons never pass through?
@@CarMaintenanceGuy usually because of all the family connections in the area.
Tim, Enjoy your VLOGs. I’m also married to a Filipina for over 30 years. You mentioned that you suffered from Sciatica for a couple of months. I too, have experienced Sciatica in the past. It’s extremely painful, as you know. Whenever I felt it returning, I would visit the chiropractor and he would adjust my back to ease the pain. I thought earlier, (Feb 2023,) this year the Sciatica returned. The pain became so extreme I went to the Emergency Room. They took the usual X-rays which indicated some abnormalities around my spine. The report from Emergency was forwarded to my provider and he ordered more X-rays and an MRI. To make a long story short, the MRI showed I have two herniated discs that are pressing on the nerves, causing severe pain in my lower extremities. I will be having back surgery within the next week. I know you visit the VA medical staff at the embassy in Manila. You might want to mention to the doctors to do more tests on your back to make sure it’s only sciatica and nothing more. Just for precaution. I’m sure you have already thought of it. Take care.
I want to thanks the family spratly to help us to build again our church because of the typhoon Odette our church wash out.....God will bless you....
That is the way to build a house that will last a lifetime. Great work and I would love to see the progression and when it is completed.
Wow very impressive structure. Thanks for showing us this build site.
I think this is the way to go. also I think a round house that is built similar to a turtle shell may be good so the wind can not catch anywhere. I think I will go with that if I can ever get to live over there and I will probably place my home a bit inland and preferably a bit for it self :) I am not Finnish but I like what they got going on.
We just bought 5 hectares more inland. A lot cheaper land inland too
@@gordonb1737 I would love to have something similar and I think it is the best choice to have your living a bit inland preferably with some cover from mountains etc. there is a permaculture video that is very detailed about where to best put a house. I will see if I can find it.
Crissy has the cutest wave and I love when she mugs for the camera
Awesome video Tim and Chrissy, Shawn is a great person and good luck on finishing his house. Funny thing is he looks just like my Father and sounds just like him too. I'm not used to seeing construction being done with no power tools, we here in the States are so spoiled Lol!!
TIM thanks for sharing Sean's build. He was a avid follower of my channel and build method using simple materials here in the Philippines instead of hard to find expensive cast form hardware. He told me once he was going to dedicate his build to the Hightower Method. ( I'm James Hightower) I made a video today in response to your video of his place. I put a link to your video and asked everyone to watch your video. Salamat buddy! James and Mel TEXAS FILIPINO Panay Island Iloilo
Thanks for the support. I’ll have to take a look at what you are doing over there. I don’t typically watch Philippine vloggers because it gets in my head for being original. I’ll have to because that is also the type of build I would like to do. I’m still in land acquisition mode. Hope you are well. -Tim
Tim, you look great, your son looks great and so does your wife. You look very healthy. I am impressed, you seem so much more relaxed, not so much anxiety.
Glad to see he is building a reasonable size house and not some monstrosity like most Westerners would do. Seems like a friendly humble guy who will fit right in SE Asia.
I am building a large home but because ours is not just a house but will be a mini resort on the beach with guest AIR BNB Rooms for income and enjoyment of having guest and meeting new people always.
Have you seen the house sizes Filipinos build! lol
What square footage do you consider a monster of a house?
Filipinos are used to tiny rooms and no closets. Which is why they all look like hoarders live there.
Many of us Americans are used to 2-3 bedrooms and at least 2,000 square feet. Not huge but plenty of room for what we put in it.
Your pretty awsome brother! You accomplished alot. Served our country and worked your ass off. Good for you man. God bless you and your family.
Nice tour! Thank you for all the questions asked and answered.
You're looking much better Tim Keep Chrissy smiling don't make her mad She's getting smarter now
Happy wife = happy life :-)
You are teaching me so much, first a vehicle, now a bombproof house. Your showing ,e all of this is very attainable with mynsavings and retirement which I hope to do by age 60. A short 5 years away. Thank you.
Its about time I see some person their build a better home with out hollow blocks, but instead better with concrete poured into the forms for the walls. I had this done with several of my past homes. Hands down they have all been much better then even the hole blocks and lumber walls in the U.S.
Yeah what AR ES said. James of Texas Filipino is also building his beach house in Iloilo pouring concrete into forms. James is the man to see especially on your solar power. Really good man that would put it on paper for you. I would get in touch with him. Very intelligent man.
Thank you Patrick
Hey Tim.K. That house of Sean is going to be interesting to see when it's finished. Certainly a strongly built home. My gf Liza has just rented a small building for our Beauty store products closer to San Francisco. It was painted this afternoon and Liza will buy plywood for the new display cabinets n our other store will become a bigger Sari Sari Store. Cheers Tim K and Chrissy K
Always glad to see you guys …and the house that’s exactly what we’re busy with very interesting
Cool video to Tim. Very smart to build like this in a country with so many bad weather events.
Interesting video thank you Tim K👍😀
Tanks for a great video and helpful info, wish you both good luck with your future project//Anders
Awesome info on house building. I take lots of notes. 🤙
Tim it's good ask questions but you are very negative towards Crissy and selfish in teaching her about business and then you put her on the spot and make her feel embarrassed in front of people because she doesn't know about certain things, but she's the one has your back and wants to help and make a family effort, show more compassion and Love for the family that decided build for the family you left behind to fulfill your dreams. You are a young and intelligent person pursuing excellence, so push Crissy to excellence to if you really love her and that wonderful son that you have by her. True love is a family that stays together and builds together. I like your vlogs and may grace and peace and love be multiplied to you and your family.
what you miss is the hours of time i put in editing her college papers, teaching her new words, showing her how to manage people who are older than her, etc. what you see is 38 minutes. sure, from face value watching the video you are right... but there is a lot more enrichment that I have worked with her on.
@@TimKyoutube your a grown man live life the way you seem fit.
I would say this tho you moved there to live the dream and it's cheap there Chrissy is the backbone treat her like royalty which you seem to do lol but yes one little clip does not give us the right to judge your relationship
Ah 😂 I don’t know if you realise this but Tim’s wife is smarter than him in many ways and he knows that .. they are a team ..
he balances her and she balances him ..
thats how I see it ..
people are pretty funny with narrow perceptions about vlogs though 😊
I never did like the way that at times Tim would talk down to Chrissy and I never did like the way he would shout at her and holler at her.
Give Tim a break, we all have different personalities and that’s his way of making the videos more fun. He’s not trying to berate or belittle her, he’s just joking trying to keep us entertained. I do the same with my wife and she does the same back to me as well at times. It’s all just fun and to break up the monotony. By the way Tim, do you have Sean’s contact info as I might want to hire him as a general contractor for my property near Bato here in the near future as he seems like he knows his stuff. Have him DM me if interested.
Sending love from Birkenfeld, Germany! We can't wait to get back to South Leyte...
Hey Tim my dear friend, awesome video! I enjoyed it so much. Thank you my dear friend.😊 😊 😊 😊 😊 😊 😊 😊 😊 ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Sean is the second guy I've seen not using hollow blocks for building his home. James of Texas Filipino is also building his beach house in Iloilo pouring concrete into forms.
Thst is the better way
Sean was our follower watching our build :)
They call it “buhos’’ in the Philippines, that’s what most homes are made of in Marawi. Very strong house even bullets wouldn’t go through .😊
that house rock solid. looking forward to see the roofing in the near future
Nice that is a solid house when complete.
I liked this video Tim. The guy is cool. It was nice to get some construction talk too since I know nothing about it.
Do this again for sure.
Good video Tim yes that’s the way to build as your friend is doing preformed concrete as the plywood and coco lumber can be used over and over again and if you don’t want to use drywall inside just use nice white skim coat that covers up all the blemishes where the concrete meets or not vibrated enough easy peasy cheers Gerry
good video Tim hope the house can withstand the strong winds during a typhoon nice place.
Great video Mr. Tim K. God Bless you and Family.
@Tim K , I'm a retired union carpenter from the Orange County. Enjoyed this video
Don't mean to offend. Just curious...why do you say "union" carpenter instead of carpenter? What additional information does that convey?
I recently saw a video on why the codes are now against coated rebar. You cannot cover rebar without getting pinholes in the coating. The rebar then rusts underneath the coating, only you cannot see the rust. The rebar still swells and the concrete spalls without being able to see the rust. So you cannot see when all you have is rust and no steel.
This is why you switch to Basalt REBAR.
Thanks Tim, this one is a keeper. Great interview and insight !!
Thank you
This is a really good vlog Tim, build a strong external garage for your new vehicle before a strong typhoon comes, but for now your vehicle has full warranty, so its okay for now.
Hello just wanted to say hello. My husband and I are retired in Pangasinan. My husband is dual citizen filipino and I am white American. I never see any american women married to Filipinos. Any out there watching? We built our home in 2007 and went back to usa and worked more., now retired been here for 4 years now. You mentioned people being land rich, we are fortunate his family has lots of land, nanay gave us a very large lot. About 1/2 acre. Also when we built house exchange rate was around 58 to $1 so we were able to build large house. Final note love living here the Filipino people are wonderful.
Hi Tim and Chrissy another great video, some good information. Tim that link for video was hilarious I laughed so hard I had tears lol.
I really enjoyed this video Tim.. thx for sharing brotha
Thanks bear!
Awesome video thanks 👍
Great episode. Next home tour, please organize a coffee break FOR THE NAIL BANGERS!!!!! Jeez!!!!!
Cheers from Vancouver 🇨🇦
yea Tim, i had the same problem with my back as well, but i had no one to take care of me, you was very lucky bro :0
This is so interesting!! I love this channel!
Nice seeing guys live their dream building
Timbo...I grew up in Mexico and we use hollow blocks in Yucatan. I think it all depends on the quality of the blocks and the support beams, structure metal bars and the ground. I would not recommend hollow blocks on seismic areas..as they cracked. You my man, want a beach bunker! Hahaha
Great video guys :)
Glad you got a vehicle that isn't a piece of crap Tim!!!
Hello Tim and your wife. My partner and I building a house in Samar before Pandemic until now waiting for my holiday to visit there. Maybe next year, I wish. I enjoy watching your CZcams channel with my partner. Your wife from Samar or Leyte? My partner born here in Australia living here my life almost 30year's now. While am watching your CZcams I feel am in Samar Philippines. More videos upload please. I love it watching..
That's some badass heavy equipment Tim.idk if u remember but I'm a cross country truck driver so when I see commercial equipment like that I get all giddy like a kid in a candy store.i always wanted to drive that big cattapiller. The 1 in the first part of ur video. Anyways, u and Chrissy have a good day brotha.
I have a home in San Ildefonso. Hollow block with metal roof. I am in the middle of Luzon. No worries about typhoons. Living on the coast is so gorgeous and extremely risky.
Owatrol oil also seals steel. Designed to be used on ship hulls. Great for car restoration too, you can even paint over it.
thanks for sharing the knowledge buddy!
Many good information shared house is going to be unbreakable, subdivision looks nice and peaceful.
Hello Tim K. the story goes that while we're waiting to build our house in Bugasong, Antique, Panay (Dec 2022), daily we watch morning youtube. Sure enough watching today we ran across this episode of the Tim K. show. The young couple Shawn and Anna you visited today was like deja-vu all over again. Actually when they were married back in Whidbey Island I was tasked as the proud (stand-in) Father of the Bride. My lovely wife Sonia and I were pleasantly surprised to see Anna and Shawn and ask that the next time you visit their home project please say hello for Sonia and I.
Respectfully AL S.
Solid house perfect for a typhoon places . I will do that in the future ❤️
Good video thanks
Excellent information Tim thanks! Please do a follow up.
He's the second person I've seen on youtube to build a house in this way, I think this is the way to go when building a house there in the Philippines. It's good seeing you and Chrissy, you're both looking well. Take care, God Bless you and your family!
Normally concrete cast in place is done for commercial buildings in the Philippines. I don’t know why they did not adapt it and instead used hollow blocks for residential structures which takes longer to complete with rendering and skim coating.
The Armstrong family build their own house too
When you said hollow block, I was thinking ICF.😂
Your right Tim you need good double glazed windows to keep sound out
Awesome video tim
That was very interesting. I enjoyed a real construction site. Something won't blow away. Your friend is so right about the amount of wasted Cement thrown on the outside of hollow blocks.
It depends on the block layer. A properly made wall will not use a lot of cement to plaster
If they use wire mesh behind the finish coating would improve the stability
Excellent vlog
Did something similar, bu t also added Sierra Water Proofing to the concrete mix. Then sealed the roof with rubber based paint. I calculated that I can take a direct 7.4 Mag earthquake. So far survived 2 typhoons with 1 being a direct hit. Nothing damaged, just some flying debris hitting the door and marking it. I made the mix for 15KPsi. Takes a diamond drill to make a hole. Word of caution on the Drywall, make sure to put a good vapor barrier. Even with the density of the concrete, it's still a sponge for humidity.
There is actually a fiberglass rebar now so no rust and its stonger
Very delicious cocunot wine bos,loved it!
We build a native house in the island, here in Busuanga Palawan, we spend more than 1M 😬, materials are so expensive! ( house dont have walls) ,but it was worth it, the view, sunset every day, the sound of the water and its quiet.
Tim I used to work over in Catalina a few days a week taking the helicopter out of San Pedro. The seawater you were referring to is desalinated for potability.
Very strong building with all the rebar
Great video Tim! Ive never heard of Sahara but will look into it for future garage we will build in the Peens. Thanks for the video
sahara is a waterproofing compound
Beautiful area!
under 40k, that's amazing
Dammmmmm you got a fire set up !!!!
I was in southern Cebu 6 inch block 40 block a bag . Second floor is on 8 and 6 inch Ibeams with industrial steel pour deck and 4 inch floor the house with stood the wind no issues but the cheap roof metal thats far from the 16 gauge back home was rolled up like a cigar on the sea side by the back end of the storm. It removed all my spanrail which we call sofit and new upper porch roof along with over 1/2 my gutter. .We are glad to be alive.Good video. They drink RC with coconut wine here....I dont drink it.
Hello guy's it's been awhile i watched you guy's vlog you both are really lookin' good ride w/ a style Godbless and keep it comin'
That Green machine on a trailer is a dredging Machine, Tim
I like how they do construction over there with the open toes steel boots🤣. Dam! What are their feet made of 🤣
Love The new car must be so much easier and alot more comfortable to get around
Your wife looks like a total sweetheart you are so lucky.
I can tell you all about building on an Islands. Spent years and time building remodeling and rebuilding major hurricane damaged homes out in the Bahamas islands of Abaco from Hurrican Dorian. How I've got so many horror stories in building. If the foreign owner wants his damn house built in their lifetime, he has got to bring in trade specialist from the states and use the locals for supervised labor, not to mention buy and supply and equip alot of the matterial and tools and even equipment. To this day, they still have major electrical problems/ main power grid, power goes out on the islands 2x a day or all day . You have to own and maintain 2 generators, fuel is sometimes a shortage problem and right now researching solar panel options but the salt air here is very corrosive on EVERYTHING. The battery cells have to be stored in a sealed room.
BS. That guy is building a bunker, he is ready for a nuke holocaust. So what if the power is off, just have another beer. He ain't working! WHAT? "Oh Shit I am going to die my beer is warm!"? get a life.
It would be nice to see a finished product. Good video, thanks for sharing, subscribed.
Tim, good video. As far as sciatica I have experience it several times. Use ibuprofen and a tennis ball. Use a tennis ball to lay on the hard floor and put the ball right where your pain is in your lower back or hip and then slowly laid down on it that will help stretch out the muscle area and relax the area and get rid of some pain
Houses were built like this in Crete. Remember seeing truckloads of 1x3 covered in concrete that were used to build the forms. They would reuse them from house to house.
Keep on hustling never give up
Very informative as I plan to begin the build process of our home in Davao.
Two thumbs up!
Learn NOTHING from this.
If you were a building professional where you came from, if you understand the reasoning behind good construction practice, if you have some engineering background and you simply want a pass time, maybe build.
Great information Tim k , building footings for home so close to the beach I would got 20 to 25 ft deep gives you much more support on those tornadoes,ect and yes those hollow blocks are not good ,you're concretely mix 1 bag of cement,
9 parts of sand and 2 parts lime ,Tim lime is a great way to waterproof concrete try also get rubber liquid this is another way to stop corrosion fills in cracks Also best to put this on outside of the concrete once finished interested about Sean building his home 👍 😎
@Brian you cannot get down to 20 to 25 feet near the beach unless you have big cans put in and water pumps going non stop. You will be in the sand fresh water table that sits shallow there since your at sea level. I had a core testing done prior to building and engineers to set the recommended depth for our 3 story solid concrete beach house build that Sean here based his build off of.
