    Love how your channel promotes self sufficiency for locals. Absolutely the best thing for them. Also gives them a sense of pride.

    How clever to make the porch accessible and affordable to many who would otherwise do without. Thanks for the tour, Ai,Derek & Natalie.

    How wonderful and Beautiful that Jay made His Girlfriend Lorena's house better thru investing in her family who all joined in to make all of their lives better. He empowered them to put skin in the game and something as simple as a porch has turned into a minor business and gathering place where you could even get a haircut. pretty soon they'll have a Sari-Sari store featuring eggs and chickens. Clearly Jay has some skills as the bathroom looked good. Plus doing the bed for momma shows he cares allot 😢

    Thanks again for showing us what Jay has done. As I have said before, he is an amazingly humble guy who just wants others around him, including himself, to live a decent life. Well done Jay, much respect to you.

    You can add a small pressure tank after the pump to even out the pulsing. It'll also increase the reserve capacity by the size of the tank you get.

    Another amazing video, wonderful friends of yours. Jay has done an amazing job and he has a heart of gold. Very inspirational and heartwarming ♡
    If only all expats were like you guys. You must be extremely proud of what you have done for so many. Helping others in need is the most important gift we can give and doing so seems to give us a gift as well... the gift of love and compassion.
    This video will touch many hearts and guide others on how to do the best they can to give back in the simplest of ways.
    I may not have a special someone, but I am eager to help others wherever I can. The needs of others are everywhere and I should have no trouble seeing my opportunities as i have a few skill sets and a few pesos to share ♡
    Thank you for this video, it was very uplifting, God bless

    I AM not critiquing Your great work, Jay.
    One thing I have noticed. Even in my Wife's Family home. They don't use pee traps in any of their plumbing. And our toilets, sinks and other plumbing piped run off, they did not make any pee traps. So there is a noticeable smell. And the handyman cemented all the piping. Making it very difficult/more work to make the corrections, for breaking group.
    I love the creativity of the work Your friend did. Even making the passive income.
    The grey water run off from bathing, is perfect for watering the plants.
    Phenomenal work Your friend has done, Derek. 👍

    A pressure tank would help with the surging water pressure.

    • @paulk8444

      Either a pressure tank or a simple "Hammer arrestor" which is an air chamber as the surging is air trapped within the line

    Get an expansion tank inline after the water pump. All the surging goes away they are pretty small. Like smaller than a basket ball. And cheap too.

    • @MrSkoobytime
      @MrSkoobytime Před 21 dnem

      I tried to find a expansion tank but they are very expensive in Bantayan island. A pressure tank is also expensive around 400 usd. Not worth it personally.

    • @goatman3828
      @goatman3828 Před 21 dnem +2

      @MrSkoobytime you can build an expansion tank easy enough. Short piece of 4" PVC which a cap on each end. Drill in the caps. Lower one taps into water pressure. Top cap drill in a Schrader valve (valve on your car's rims that airs up the tire). You may or may not need to add a bit of air pressure to the tank to eliminate the hydraulic hammering (pulsing) in the line. Super easy, super cheap. Hope that made sense.👍

    Well done!!!👍 I want also recommend small pressure tank - 2L is enough, here it cost $30, but of course it is cheaper make it from pipe as described in another comment.
    No idea, what is the price for city water there, but when I saw the amount of rain fall, it could be next project - rain water tank - very common in EU. Perfect for toilet, watering plants and with small filter also for washing machine. Of course could be drink water too, but necessary filters are way more expansive.
