Just a little tip on planting anything. You don't have to totally remove the entire bag from the plant, as this will sometimes loosen the whole original soil and stress the plant. Just make a few cuts around the bag and plant the whole thing together. This will ensure that the plant is still surrounded by the original soil. Thus no stress on the plant. The roots will make their way out through the few cuts you make.
Mistakes are great teachers. They give you a great appreciation for your new floors and for the skilled tradesmen that do that job everyday. Also a good workout too. 🙂 You should wear rubber gloves because the grout and the chemical isn't too friend for your skin. Also, wipe the grout with enough water to clean it but not so much pressure to remove it. Clean the water bucket to avoid making your floors cloudy. (This comes from my own experience)
I guess it's normal to make mistake along the way. What's important is learning from it and doing better next time. Cool playground for Thor, Jake and the rest, enjoying their freedom running around in open space. Yes, rain is coming! Good for the soil and plants. Thanks again for the update. Happy weekend, guys!
Do not economize when using the materials for your house. You will waste a lot of money and effort and will redo your work. Experience is the best teacher. Good luck and take your time. You will enjoy your lovely house slowly but surely.❤❤❤
Happy weekend Lovely Couple. Wow, Thor is strong like Jake, wide playground for dogs. Anyways, it's good that earlier you found the grout you used are not geniune...mistakes is a learning process. Still your house are almost finish. Now there's a storm coming, keep safe guys. Good you are planting fruit trees . Years to come you will sell them coz it will be a lot..for family use..it's too mych. Luckily you have a wide land to plant. See u again nxt updates guys.✌💖🐕🐕🐕
Seems the biggest thing you are learning, cheaper isn't always better, especially if you are building something. My dad always said if you buy cheap, you get cheap. Nice grouting job. Don't feel bad. The Ark was built by amateurs, the Titanic was built by professionals. You got this!
I saw numerous lighting near Kabangkalan area yesterday, Fri. May 24. I hope it rained good there. I would like to see a video during a heavy rain showing your rain catchment system, maybe the pool filling up and the whole place turning green again.
Grout mixed with water only is standard in the US as the water activities the additional chemicals to harden the grout properly, no additional hardener is required so I probably would have made the same mistake, now I know better. Having built/rebuilt 8 homes in the US I highly value your vlogs on you home building experience from solar power with an aircon battery room to the outstanding beautiful pool as well as the glass panels used to provide the exquisite view from inside your home. God Bless
I had a custom tile business here in the U.S. and have never had that issue mixing grout with water. Good thing you caught it early before you grouted the whole thing.
Your home is beautiful. I love the gigantic windows in the master bedroom. We always mix our grout using bottle water. I had grout mix fail when I mixed it using hard well water.
Thanks for sharing Finn and Sherlyn the mistakes that occur while building, it's a normal at least you were able to find ways to amend it...and that view is awesome.....
Finn & Shirlyn, use mask when doing construction of your house. The dust and chemical fumes are bad for your lungs. Also be careful with your pets. Take care.❤
As someone living in the City, i thought Rambutan is a vine😂 then my mother said, it was a big tree😂 Hilarious thought 🤔: in the city we act like we literally knows everything yet its not always the case😂
I love watching the development of your new place Finn and shirlyn. One day your will see the fruits of your labor enjoying lots of fruit trees and veggies. Having fish pond needs too much care and maintenance but worth it.
Hi Finn, may I suggest giving a good watering to the plants before transferring them from pot to garden….then of course water again after planting them. This will stop the soil from crumbling during the re-planting process…for the grouting, I thought there was a tool designed to remove it and in plastic so no scratching of tiles
When you wipe your tile grout don't wipe with the tile gap wipe side to side or you just wipe it right out again you want it to be even with the tile so it dosen't collect dirt. Beautiful house take care
Summer time the overhangs keep the house cool. In the winter time when the sun is low on the horizon the sun will heat your house. Reverse cycle heat pump could also use the heat from your to house to heat your pool in summer. Using cooling from the pool to cool the house. A heat exchanger.
Finn, I said you need to put some solar lights in your stairs going from your pool down to your backyard. You need to put some solar lights along your fence put some solar lights around your house. I know you got your solar lights on your roof. I get that but put some solar all around your house. Specially, the stairs at night time the lights the stairs up looks really sharp, I hope you have lights inside your pool
Just wanted you two to know that I still watch your vlogs. Your house is beautiful. Sana all. I started watching you with your trip to Turkey I think. Long time ago.
You need to remove the protection film from the sliding windows as soon as it is installed otherwise it will becomes harder and will leave stains of the window frames
Your family home is coming along nicely Finn and Sherlyn mistakes happen Finn at least you have rectified it happen every day in the construction but we get over it just like you have done well done i have been a Plumbing and Heating engineer for over 40 years in Britain I am a teacher in this industry aswell we still get mistakes today but we get over them well done to you both all the best from Michael ❤
Lesson learned, onwards and forward. I can't wait for the update post rain. Also glad rain 's coming. Hopefully the yellow turns to green again soon. Thor with the large tire is pretty insane. 😆 I wonder how long before he tears it apart! Jake's like, I'm too sophisticated to play with tires. 😅
poor brother in law working sweating that heat haha u home awesome looks really nice when u inviting us hehe we start our project 4 years ago everything done except the house well water get done 2 weeks time woohoo
its better if you have catch basin for the rain as your land is kinda slope and then probably purchase a filtering system or purify system for the water.. it would be helpful as you have a pool it would be water consuming i think knowing you have small pipes of your tap water and small supply
You got a pure breed Philippine dog... its a bit rare to find them now as some don't like them as they have ugly patern, and on some provinces, they call them a witch dog. I have them once. They are sweet and loyal dog contrary to what some believe
You ,guys , are an inspiration! So young , yet, have accomplished great things in life like that awesome house you’re building in a perfect location! Bravo!!! Btw, what happens to your diving yacht? It’s been a long while since your last post on your diving expeditions.
The contractor in the construction should be responsible for whatever materials to be use thats the point of getting their services . To help u and guide u on what sturdy materials u should buy
Plant Rambutan easy to make Fruits Four years you can harvest lots of Fruits of Rambutan !!🎉🎉🎉 and it grows taller and big not like Lansones it takes 10 years to makeFruits !!
you could take a thick rope and connect to the tire. (only 50-70cm long with knots) make a hole in the tire and thread the rope trough, so the tire can still lie flat) and he can pull it. a rope thick like your wrist.or slightly slimmer.
