Foreigner Building House in the Philippines | Curing The Roof Beams | Planting Norfolk Pinetrees 

Thank you!

Thank you for watching!

Thank you!

Oh yeah? Had to Google it, I thought that was a specific variety of corn. Thank you! Learn something new every day!

@@servicesofmontgomery We have Sahara in the concrete (roof and plaster). We'll let it cure properly, clean the surface, then add an extra 2 cm or so of concrete/plexibond.

Thank you as always! And I'll learn Bisaya fluently one day. No good app for it unfortunately, at least not that I've seen. But with the kids around, I will hear it spoken (constantly) at least! 😆

@ABetterLifePH Maybe one day we will understand what they are talking about if we keep on hearing the word's over and over mate 😅😅😅

I think the issue (in our case) is more that they don't get rid of air bubbles in the mix (no vibrator, no pounding). We'll fix the things that need to be fixed later, and we'll inspect things/give clear instructions.

We'll try with dragonfruit, mangosteen and rambutan. I prefer kiwi over dragonfruit, but difficult to find here.

Pomegranate😊 the local name would be Granada. Grapes would be nice too

I haven't seen those here. Filipinos don't seem too interested in trying new things (same stuff everywhere), but could be cool!

That was actually the plan and what I told the.... anyway, yeah, we're not able to be there every day and information gets lost in the Philippines. We have Sahara in the mix, and once it's cured we'll add about 2 cm of cement/plexibond. And yeah, I'll try to get a bit of a slope with that. If still leaky, I'll cover it with liquid rubber or similar! We have weepholes in the back of the roof and will run roof water collection, gray/black water as well as gutter for rain water behind the house.

@@ABetterLifePH if its too late to slope the slab you can still get some 1 part concrete 3 parts sifted sand and add the slope on top of the fresh cement, make it very thick with little water in the mix so it will stay thick were you put it and not just flatten out, and it will adhere to the new slab. the sooner you do it the better, the new slab wont be 100% cured for quite a while after its hard enough to walk on, that will allow the next layer to adhere to it. just have a guy wire brush it and rinse it off clean and pour the leveling mixture on it according to some sloped strings. just put it 3 inches thick at one end and slowly slope to the other side at 1/2 inch thick. puddling water up there is your enemy.

i leveled my terrace that way to get water to run off in 2017 and its still adhering fine, i even used a grinder to put finishing touches on the sloping after a couple years when a high spot bothered me.

We will be doing that style on the retaining wall terrace, just add enough to get a proper slope. For the roof, since we're planning on doing Plexibond, might as well use that to get a slope, I figured.

@@ABetterLifePH that'll work if you can build it up thick enough, maybe put a heavy coat or 4 on the high side and work your way back with 3 heavy ones the 2 then one, then top coat the whole thing. i'd be more comfortable sloping it with sand cement mix and covering that with 2 coats of plexibond. some coatings have a tendency to peel off if you put them on too thick all at once. at least build up the slope with lots of thinner coats drying in between.

I don't think we'll add a second floor, but we're planning to add hallway/living room/storage/a proper outdoor kitchen.

Yes. Not specifically the influx of 2 million people (Sweden has 8+2 million people now) in a short period of time, from the worst parts of the globe...but rather what made that possible. A weak people ruined by socialism, unwilling to defend themselves/their country, and unwilling to take any responsibility for what they did. Same as the UK, Australia, Norway, Denmark, Canada, the Netherlands, France, Belgium, Germany and more (soon the US?). They deserve what they get/chose. I didn't choose it, I never supported it, and I am not going to sacrifice myself for a people (with exceptions obviously) I no longer respect.

@@ABetterLifePH Well, that's one viewer you just lost. I'm not sure if your above reply is meant to sound as anti-immigrant as it does as I'm assuming English is your second language. It's incredibly hypocritical of you to complain about 2 million people from "the worst parts of the globe" who are trying to make a better life for themselves when you have done the exact same thing i.e. escaped the problems in Sweden. As for socialists being the cause, you should read a little history, including that of your home country and get an understanding as to why most of the "worst parts of the globe" are in the mess they are, I think you may find that rampant capitalistic exploitation of resources and people by the "best parts of the globe" plays and has played its part. I don't know if you've read much Philippines history, it's a good place to start with regards to exploitation and goes a fair way to explains why so many Pilipino people work abroad. You are an escapee just like the two million!!!!! Show some awareness and keep your political beliefs to yourself unless you want to attract more people like the person who asked you the question i.e. anti-immigrant.

@@ABetterLifePH ??? Who are you replying to ? Did they or you delete ?

"Paulbeamer". Or at least, I think I did, lol. Sorry, I hate phones.

@paulbeamer7486 I am not going to go into details, just state that you are extremely sure about things you know nothing about. Typical leftist, and I am not going to pander to the type of ignorant people that is ruining the West. You people are evil, your acts are evil and you make life worse for everyone (on all sides). I know you probably don't realize what you are supporting (socialists seldom do, as history has shown) and never take responsibility for what you did. This is not a political channel, but I answer questions when asked. You don't like it? That's ok, I don't like evil people. Bye.

Hopefully we won't get any strong earthquakes! 😆 It feels pretty solid, but it's difficult to cover something big.

Than you must make massive poured walls like Texas Filipino and not jusing poor quality chb blocks

@@jackpiket7643 Well, I am not sure I must do anything, except pay for it if I choose to go that route. And that is an issue, as we're on a budget.

@@ABetterLifePH its cool no worries

Pretty sure that's a myth, that pine trees affect soil pH to a measurable extent.

Grammar aside (wow) - you really are an angry little critter, aren't you? Welcome though! We used to have a personal hater, Eddie, but he left. Kind of miss him, glad there's a new village idiot lurking around!

Nah, your mom obviously still has me beat. So sorry that she dropped you. I mean, once is bad, once a day is just not right. Best of luck with your therapy, David!
