Hello sir Greg and Ma’am Wilma we also have a lot there in Baslay that we bought recently. just a bit down from yours. We see your place every time we go up to the coffee shop and we always appreciate your cool location we always wonder whose the owner now we know. We are also gonna build a semi native house there. We are Russian and Filipino Family and we gonna be neighbors soon.😊
Very nice. Let us know next time your heading up this way. We can schedule a visit.
The first dip in your beautiful pool will be so refreshing and rewarding 😊👍🏼👍🏼🙏🏼
Yes, need to get my first cannonball on video. Can't wait.
It look's like a pool party comin' up enjoy and take care
Thanks Anhar. Filling up quickly.
I say 13th day love your house all the best for the 2 for you in the future
Thank you. 13 days it is. We will all find out soon.
That’s a giant pool.
Thanks Dino, we can't wait to jump in and take a swim.
@@buildingthephilippines With scuba tanks. When we were kids, we use to sit at the bottom of the pool with weights on our laps and pass the regulator around for as long as it would last. Close to an hour sometimes.
Wow, that would be fun. Good game and I bet good memories for you.
The house looks absolutely gorgeous…
Thank you Chris, we think so too. Thanks for watching our videos.
@@buildingthephilippines My pleasure.
Min 2weeks for pool to fill 😎. Home sight looking great.
Jim is in for 14 days. Thanks for commenting.
I can't wait to see Wilma's garden and landscape soon, i love tropical plants. Everything is looking great Wilma and Greg🤩
Thanks SayDe. The garden starts pretty soon. Can't wait.
Hey guys things are coming together! looking good. 7days to fill
7 days it is. We will all know soon enough.
POOL fill 14 days big pool slow water😊
Have you got test kit and suitable chemicals
Lovely looking pool
14 days it us. Your in.
The Pool is looking very good. 😊
Thanks Mel.
Do a cannonball for me after the pool is ready.😁
You got it. Can't wait.
Hi Guys! Great update as usual. Things are getting done, and you have a wonderful home there. I will give my prediction on the pool filling, and looking at 12 days. We will see how it all shakes out.😊
Thanks Steve, your in at 12 days. Official start time was 3:30pm Saturday afternoon.
👍✅🙀✅👍
Thank you.
I will go for 5 days , it really is looking like you're starting to enjoy your efforts, the smiles don't lie.
We certainly are. We really like the house and area. You got 5 days, your in.
With that water pressure, I would think 12-14 days.
It's definitely going to take some time. Thanks for commenting.
2 weeks for the pool
Thanks Bobbie, your in for 14 days.
My pool is about that size and it takes about 24 hours to fill when empty
Wow that's quick. You must have good water pressure.
4-5 days to fill the pool. No math... Pure guess.
Lol, we will find out soon. Official start 3:30pm Saturday.
wow, that is going to take a week for sure at the rate the water is coming out of that hose.
Lol, that's OK with us. It will fill eventually.
Yes , my guess 7 days.
Mel is in for 7 days. We picked the same number. Lucky #7.
12 days at that pressure
12 days it is. Your in at 12.
Maybe a month from now the pool will be filled 😉
Wow, 30 days. Ok your in for 30 days.
@@buildingthephilippines 😆 hey maybe the second line will kill that prediction.
Lol, 30 to 15.
That pool is a work of art, whether empty or filled. Clear sparkling water to complete form and function, I won't speculate the fill time, but congratulations another milestone passed for you two!
Thanks Pam, the colors are real vibrant. We think it came out real nice. Can't wait to jump in.
Great progress! I can’t wait to until it’s all completed. I will guess 5 days to fill the pool 🏊♀️
Your in for 5 days. We will find out together.
it's going to take 1 year with that water pressure.
I will take that bet, how much?
I'm going to go with closer to 4 days. Maybe less. Just depends if your area water fluctuates throughout the day
Good guess.
maybe some sail shades
We were thinking about that, but so breezy up here. Might just sail away. Thanks for the suggestion.
I'm guessing 5 days to fill the pool.
5 days it is. We will find out together.
152 hours to fill the pool.
Wow now that's exact timing.
I guess it takes 2 weeks to fill the pool. I think your fill rate is about 1 gallon per minute.
Thanks Mark, we will see how long it takes.
If all goes well I think in 5 days the pool will be full, great house and space you have, we just build our small house in Calatagan Batangas, enjoy your property.
Congrats Andre on your recent home build. 5 days is going to be a real good guess. Thanks for watching our videos.
I wanted to send a picture but I don't see how I can do it, from our house.
Yes, if you email a photo and a little background info I will showcase your home on our channel. Email at buildingthephilippines@gmail.com
11 days
Your in for 11 days.
Fill her up!!!!!
A few ounces at a time.
20 days with that water preasure
20 day's it is.
I wish you a nice evening and happy relaxing Sunday shopping !!! Pool filling 14 day's plus plus !!! Regards Erwin
14 days, you got it. Shopping in the Philippines is never relaxing, but we will try.
10 days
You got it Mannette 10 days. Let's find out together.
3 days is my prediction, if your water pressure is as slow as ours LOL
Lol, 3 days is your pick. Let's wait and see.
Greg, with that little water pressure and the bright sun shining down, the water is going to evaporate before it gets to the deep end of the pool.
Lol, it may never fill. Maybe I will make a skateboard rink. I just need to find a place that sells skateboards.
Hello Wilma and Greg. At the rate of 25-30 L/min of water (non stop) you will need about 2 days (48 hours) to fill your swimming pool taking in consideration that the volume of it is 5mx10mx1,5m = 76m3=76000L (5ft = 1,5m = average between the side of 4ft and the other side of 6ft). Cheers!
2 days. Wow that's fast. I hope so. Thanks for the detail.
The sun burns here so fast Greg as it is much more overhead than other Americans back in the USA have experienced due to our proximity to the equator. I laughed when you mentioned the sun in the morning. At our place in Valencia, we are mostly facing north. Yesterday, I sat outside for my morning coffee and my one foot and ankle got sunburned 😎🥵
Lol, the sun is very strong here like you mentioned. I need to start using sunblock again. So nice sitting outside having morning coffee though.
Remembering what you said about your pools overflow to the garden area. You'll be putting the customary chemicals into the pool correct? Maybe that overflow tube might want to be extended all the way down and through the property wall, so you don't end up accidentally sterilizing the garden's soil.
Always could divert to the wall. Thanks for the comment.
2.5 days is my guess, pool is looking great!
Lowest number of days so far. Brave man Tom.
Lol, after seeing your water pressure at the end of the video I have my doubts about that guess.
Lol, maybe times 2.
I'll take 11 days.
Your in at 11 days. That number has not been picked yet.
5 days
Good pick, you have the under at this point.
Hi Greg i was wondering if you got a pool cover for your pool
Hi Bernie, no plans for a pool cover.
Do you have to add cleaning products for pool water
Yes, chlorine starting next week.
According to Murphy,
Now that you are purposely filling the pool, there will be no rain until it is completed. And, once filled, it will rain heavily for three days to test your overfill system.
I'll go with a guess of 7 days. With that municipal "pressure", I don't think a secondary line is going to make a lot of difference. It will just split that trickle two ways.
Lol, probably correct. Generator ready to go today, means no more brown outs.
!15 day. for pool.
Ok your in for 15 days.
Looking good! I had them set up my pool for salt water system to save on chlorine. But the water still ends up green most the time. They love to save money on biocides.
Green is not good. Do you swim in it when it's green?
I am thinking about Cubic feet and how many gallons go into a pool , and GPMinute , hmmm? 3 days my guess
Ok Rory, good guess. We will find out together.
Is it full yet? I guess I will find out in the morning.😂😂
Not yet, but I think everyone will be surprised.
I think the pool fill time will depend on how many times you have to shut down the fill to shower, wash clothes and flush the toilet!! Just kidding but we can’t use the washer and take a shower in our current house. We are looking into drilling a deep well with a 4 inch supply at our house under construction. Did you ever look for at drilling a well on your property? Nice job with the house.
Municipal water up here is very reliable, we are close to the source.
*_8 Days - 6 hours - 33 minutes._* Be sure to get an official time - when you say "go" - and time and filling start.
3:30pm Saturday afternoon was the official start. 8633 play the number.
Too late 😂😂. The starting clock has already started in the video. 👁️😂
Lol, we are on the clock.
My pool is 10,000 gallons and it took two days to fill using one hose so I think yours will take 3 days using two hoses with low pressure 👍
Ok David, your in for 3 days.
Hey guys. In your playlist why dont you have all of your videos in order form the last one you did to the first?
I can sort it that way.
Hi Gregg; what is your total cost of your build, once your completed.
We will do a cost video at the end of the build.
@@buildingthephilippines
Just curious, the costs are all an unknown till you start the project. I Just want to get an idea what it will cost to build on our farm neat ILOILO without a swimming pool. I hope to build a 2000 sqr foot bungalow for about 3.3 million Pesos. We already have the land.
If you build to western style specs, my contractor said he would now charge about 35,000 per square meter. 2 storey house would be more, build Filipino style less.
@@buildingthephilippines
6 days 🤔🤔🤔😂
Gary is in for 6.
Wait wait…. Now I see your water pressure I’m now changing to 9.5 days. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol, nice adjustment.
Hey Greg new subscriber here. ?Currently residing in New York City and planning to retire in 6 years. What is the overall cost of the pool?
Thanks in advance.
Today's prices is around 20 to 25000 pesos per square meter.
2weeks flat
Looks like it will end up at 4 days. Thanks for commenting.
Your wife is beautiful. Thank God for Brown Sugar.
I agree, she is beautiful.
All skin tax
Definitely is here in this area.
Well to be honest I can pee better than your hose pipe so I will say 2 weeks providing you get some heavy rain 😂
14 days it is, no rain in site.
12 days
Wow, David's got 12 days. Your in for 12.
12 days
Thanks Robert.
