Wow, that was some dry a&& brush and so glad that mother nature poured on your casa. Looks like rainy season is finally upon you all. 🤞🙏🌨🌩 TV will look good and great idea for a 2nd tank. Thanks again for the video, good stuff!
It will rain when it rains, been super dry this year. Last year it rained a few times a week through the dry season and the rainy season wasn't that bad. This year true separation of seasons.
When an area experiences fires and then heavy rains, there’s a danger of mudslides. If the dry season continues to be dry every year this could become an issue. The locals might also have to start doing preventative fire maintenance every year to prevent the large wild fires like the ones that we were having in California the past few years. Cutting grass, removing dead trees, doing maintenance on vegetation near your house, etc…
Glad to see you got at least a little rain, and hopefully it will keep getting a little, especially at night. Glad to see you’re getting some projects done. Later 😊
Soon will be the rainy season, Greg 🤞🌧 I know that we're grateful for the rain we've been getting, here on Luzon. Get those projects completed before then!
Hi Greg; Watching from Montreal. Great video. I was there for 6 months and it was really dry this year. Rain is needed , everything is dry there . Tc guys. Mike
Today we drive by your house very impressive! also they backwal from your new neighbour(castle😮) nice area if you know a small lot around for us approx 500m2
FYI, I guess you know already, but just n case, you supposed to wet the concrete every few hours when it's this hot outside, otherwise it is going to crack.
Wish I could send some rain from Indiana, been a wet spring and having to mow grass every few days. Hope you continue to get rain and get things greened up again. Enjoying all your updates and information you provide, still hoping to get over there in the next year and enjoy my retirement away from all the nonsense going on here! Take care!
I’m having a little PTSD when I saw How brown And dry your communty has gotten. Last august 2023 our Lahaina Town in island of Maui Hawaii got burned down due to an electrical damage with an account of highwinds . It still recovering from its devastation very sad. I’m so glad your area is
I’m in Florida and our annual rainfall has increased over the last 20 years. There are winners and losers with climate change. You will only hear about the losers. Hope your rain continues.
Congratulations on the rain. Weather is always cyclical. Not so much in the tropics but it happens. Hopefully you won’t get flooded in the area as the ground can only absorb it so fast. I’ve heard it’s best to get local dogs rather than breeds from outside the Philippines. Just hard on them. 😊
Seems like you only need to add 1 more valve, if you reuse the one you have on that drain line. Like the ball valves better myself. Am guessing the goats in the area are gonna be happy after that rain..lol.. That rain was good for your neighbors build, it should help with compaction on their site. Thanks for the update, Wilma and Greg...Jim
Good morning. The ongoing drought conditons is perhaps just the beginning of some desertification to come in some areas. I don’t know if it would ever happen in the tropics. The rain you show the following day is enough to make you cry, especially after no rain for 4 months. No water, no life. Here in Kochi, Japan, we had a very heavy rain event for 24 hours this week and some flooding. We’ve been having so much rain this spring that all the vegetation including weeds have been growing like crazy. Our rainy season should be starting about mid-June and end mid July or so.
@@buildingthephilippines You sure must be. For the first time in many months, come mid-June or so you won’t need to water your garden. The trees and vegetation in Dauin will regrow. Many have perhaps died, but nature has a vast capacity for regeneration. The forests will regrow if allowed to. Just a side note: did you know top apex predators play a vital role and are actually critical for the earth’s capacity for self renewal? It’s all about balance. Take good care.
Glad you guys finally got rain.We in SFC were in the same boat.The aquafors needed to fill as well.Can I ask how much your gate costs with the installation. Thanks in advance.P.S. you're retired as we are,theres always time to do projects when the laser beam isnt kickin' our butts...lol.
did you think of building a cistern to collect rainwater when you built your house?? when i move out, my partner and i think that is pretty essential and aim to inlcude that in our build.
No, did not consider one. When it rains and fills the cistern, we have plenty of water. During a drought there's no rain, so cistern would be empty. You also need to treat the water in the cistern and empty/clean it as mold builds up in it.
@buildingthephilippines knew you had to treat the water didn't know mold could come though! Good to know. Lots to investigate once we get going. Still a year away for us as have to wait til I retire!!
Global warming is the long-term warming of the planet's overall temperature. Though this warming trend has been going on for a long time, its pace has significantly increased in the last hundred years due to the burning of fossil fuels. As the human population has increased, so has the volume of fossil fuels burned.
Could be, nonetheless is dry here, but parts of the US are experiencing lots of rain and cooler the usual temps. Our turn for rain will eventually come.
The rain Greg and Wilma are missing is here in Lucban, Quezon Prov. We have been getting a whole lot of rain here. I am not looking for what is going on there with the dry spell, but I would appreciate a break long enough for workers to get the remaining footers, columns and structural support in place for our house build. Our footers had to be put 4 meters deep. Every day, they are draining these big holes. Fun, fun, fun. We will put in the prayers to shift a little of the rains from here your way Greg and Wilma
Hello guys , I am following you for a while now , did you know the other vlogger not far from you who is constructing a new house .I wish you could meet him for advice and sharing similar interest . His name is " Finnsnow " it would be fun . near Dauin city .
There's no water shortage, it's the 10,000 leaks from the cheap plastic lines just lying along side the roads. My pool uses 500 gallons a week. The leaks are easily 50,000 gallons a day (probably a lot more)
