In this episode as the guys are back doing more work on the house Melinda is using the empty streets of the subdivision for some practice drive time.
In the kitchen inside stone work is being done to the bar front. Melinda cooks up a fresh fish soup with moringa leaves in it. Upon top the crew is forming the final wall to ever to be pouring on this house up at the eagle's nest. This wall will support and give a place to terminate the middle section of the roof in the house. It will also provide strength to the roof in the events of typhoons which will come for sure.
We end our day early to go into the city of Iloilo where we planned a gathering of friends at Muelle Deli and Restaurant along the Iloilo River. This was for a sending off gathering of our friends Jerry and Rochie as they return to Saudi Arabia for his work. At 77 years old and has still never retired.
We always hope to see him settle and enjoy some time off but maybe he really enjoys just what he is doing. I can respect that.
We are a Fil Am couple sharing our lives between living in Texas USA and Iloilo City on Panay Island Philippines. We share dealing with two different cultures, building our solid concrete cast in place home beach side and exploring/ seeking new things. We hope you enjoy and join to be part of a bigger family here on this channel.
Thank you for being apart of our channel and lives.
James and Melinda

I had lots of confidence for Malyn. She drove to the library and it came back with the front bumper all scuffed up. I took her to practice driving at the school and she backed into a cone with a steel pole in it and dented the door on our 2020 Escape. She drives it every day to work for the past year. But she really wants to drive my 2023 Ford AWD Maverick. I told her if she wanted to drive a 4 wheel drive SUV she could drive the old 2007 Mercury Mariner. Yeah, everything here is Ford and nothing but Ford.

My wife also spent her whole life in jeepnys and trikes, they never had a car in her family , Shes awesome at everything except driving! , I dont rush her either , here in california the speeds are crazy, and a slow driver will cause a big crash so its gonna take time, I told her when shes ready just take the neigborhood roads and avoid the highways.

Good point how many vehicle do you want or need/ I agree 2 is enough, I went through the same thing at 1 time how many do you want to have to screw around with, insurance, maintenance, parking, and so forth and the thing is if not used it the worst thing for them. So the best thing to do is sell 1 and let Melinda get 1 she likes to drive and every body is happy... Cheers

I feel the same way about my blue 92 4Runner with 33 x 12.5 and body lift. Mine has an automatic 3.0 and my wife is driving it ,but she needs seat time also in our burangay.We have a look out at the top of our two story home over looking Bahol , it's a basic barn cupola 4x8 feet with lightning rod on top and a 2 seater seat atop our attic area and Oddette didn't remove it thank God.

Good Morning... Catching this early here in Dubai, it is 0330 AM and comfy temp-wise... First coffee, and watching this update is a great way to start the day, as a vid from you/PH is always fine... Life is good... Nice to see Mel is doing practice driving in the subdivision (which is a good idea IMO before hitting the roads), the house build is progressing (and getting more complete), and no typhoons at the moment, only sun, a breeze, and positive spirits, also good... OK, back to work, I have had a whole day off, now time to put my nose to the grindstone again... Enjoy your Sunday, I sure did enjoy my sabbath! TC ... 🙏🙏🙏 👍😎👍

Is the Great Pyramid more able to handle hurricane winds the way you are building it? Or earthquakes? Is this area prone to earthquakes? That house is going to be really something. So interesting watching you guys build it. Thanks for another great video.

Crazy last couple of years. I'm pretty much on a 2 month rotation between Wisconsin and Alabama. I have zero service at my mom's. I'm hoping this will be the last year. We can sell the house and bring my mom down here.🙂 Besides that, the rest of the time is normal craziness.🤪

Just curious James but what kind of R-value do you get from the concrete?
@TexasFilipino
@TexasFilipino Год назад
It is very easy to air con this place. All of the verandas shade the walls from direct sunlight. Not the roof decks will also be shading making even easier to aircon or keep cool. Concrete is also a thermal battery. So it can not only hold heat but cold as well. So with the aircon running it soaks up the cold and helps keep things cool. If it is overwhelmed with direct sunlight then the heat can overcome that. Shading it from direct sunlight is very important.

@@TexasFilipino I see... I was thinking more along the lines of keeping the cold out but I forgot how mild your winters are there. Lol it's still in the 30's in the am in Tx. It's more of a cooling game and keeping the heat out where you are.
