guys i have some advise. dont cement the whole pathway coz its gonna make your surroundings hot during hot weather as it will radiate all the absorb heat from the sun in the surrouding air in your backyard. Rather make some portion cemented especially the portion that cars are passing through but the rest is a combination of gravels and grass. This way it wont coz the area muddy or flooding as it only absorbs water especially the grass areas. Grass also will dissipate the heat as well as the gravel and and it also makes surrounding air cool. hope you read this. Also one advise, if ever you plan to put plant box in your roof deck, dont do it as it will damage the watee proofing. if you really wanted to put plants in roof deck in the future, better put in big pot as it contains the soil and the roots. anyways congrats to your new house.😊

Another great video Finn and Sherlyn and shout out to Sherlyn’s brother doing an amazing job around the home 👍

Hi Finn,jecko is a very big help inside the house,they control cockroaches,flies and other insects,and they bring good vibes inside the household

Serena 's beauty hasn't faded...beautiful woman and very natural too!❤❤❤❤❤

try planting herbs (Rosemary, Dill, Basil etc). they are good for cooking.

If you guys planted a marcot tree from the nursery it will grow fast and will bear fruit in a year. But if you plated from a seed, it will bear fruit in 5 years. That's a long time to wait. Nice to watch your vlogs Finn and Shirlyn. Love you guys. Take care always.❤❤❤

*You could cement your pathway piece by piece to avoid heat radiation during summer. You could also put stones or shells on the cement for for traction and decoration.*

Hi both, Hope you are both well. Our monthly expenditure is approx (2 people) Mortgage/rent - 0 PHP as we built our own home. Food - 10K PHP Water bill - 200 PHP No elec as we have solar ( 3 A/C units, big ref, 3 TV's, electric hob, electric oven, microwave, water cooler, washing machine, kettle etc..) Fuel for car 1000 PHP Water bottles to drink 300 PHP Dining out once per month 2K Entertaining family/friends at home 3K Dog food (we have 3 Shih Tzu's) - 1.5K Wifi - 1.5K Approx 20K PHP (approx £250 pound sterling at todays rate) Our electricity would be at least 10/12K per month if we did not have solar 😮 Like you guys, we are finishing our new home, so we are being conservative on our monthly expenditure.

Salamat po kuya Bryan, ang sipag mo talaga, at mabait, napaka swerte naman ni Finn and Sherlyn, “GOD”bless you po kuya Bryan, Finn and Sherlyn you are lucky to have Bryan

I’m excited to see your family Finn when they come to visit and see your beautiful house .. it’s inspiring to build my summer house in Argao somehow and the view is spectacular as well overlooking the ocean and nature in our back..we will see..

Maayong buntag pinn & sherlyn❤❤❤

Guys I really listen how you talk about your plant and other stuff around your house but please can you wear some microphone so that we can hear you clearly specially when your out and about around your soon to be fruit paradise. Thank you and keep it coming can't wait to see all the trees to grow. Happy planting

It's always raining now, either in the late afternoon or evening. They say July is the start of flu season because of the weather changes, humid hot in the morning/afternoon then starts to get cold in the late afternoon/evening especially when it rains. I guess it's hard for the body to adapt esp when you're not used to it. Sherlyn when she teased you, " I'm immune, the advantage of living in the squatter area", is such a sweetheart. She's so real, no plastic/pretense, just love her. Maybe it'll help if you have flu vaccine, it's yearly and will lessen the symptoms. Glad to see you're ok now. See you guys on the next one, the pool video, was intrigued. Thanks for sharing and keep safe always.

Good morning Finn and Sherlyn from down under! Thanks for sharing. God bless🙏🙏🙏

Good morning Finn and Sherlyn ❤ God bless you both

😱$600 for monthly expenses?! Incredibly jealous! That amount does not even cover a mortgage for a small house (and no swimming pool) here in Seattle, WA. However, on balance it is all relative. I am still jealous tho. You and Sherlyn are living la dolce vita! A big congrats to you both!

My new favorite couple blogger 🇵🇭 😍

Perfect drainage and rainfall collection. Nice!

❤❤❤good morning Finn and lovely Sherlyn....happy watching d vlog now...

Excited to see the finished version /view of your mini palace 😍🙏💕...

good job kuya Brayan you did it 👍👍👍😘😘😘❤️🍀🌴🌴🌴🌴🍀

Wow, that's awesome! Your expenses are cheap there in the Philippines. Thanks for sharing.

I love your house..it's so beautiful..and very close to the nature..❤❤❤❤

Pls save the Lizard "toko" in your house it helps n catching flies , mosquitoes and most of all ,it's goodluck in your home.🦎

I like the way you design your house..it’s beautiful!!🤩

I still have sardines on toast for lunch, so yummy. We have a deep well and the water, I had it tested, complies to International standards and is good for cooking, drinking, washing etc. It's filtered down from Mount Apo. You are right about dog and cat food, so expensive. My wife only wants the best for our 2 cats and pound for pound it costs more to feed them than a person. The dogs will eat anything. Keep the geckos, they eat all the bugs and mosquitos.

Good morning fin.. When I saw your Place, it feels like I'm in Somewhere Abroad Very nice Place..

Just a suggestion you may already thought about but I would invest in solar street lights for outside your property at certain locations. I have one I put up at a height of twenty feet

Great morning Finn & Sherlyn, very nice house and the ambiance of the place is so amazing, God bless you both and your new home 🏡🙏🏻❤️

I remember when travel blogs first started, it seemed like the episodes that explain the cost of every little thing,,, so proud of y’all! No words

with those young perennial plants and trees, prune the buds/fruit as soon as they start showing. you won't get fruits for a while but, it will make the plants a lot stronger going forward. Do that for at least the first year of their lives. Some plants/trees it's better to do for multiple years.

I am really looking forward to meeting up with you two when I visit PI! I still welcome you both here in Hawaii for your honeymoon! 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅

Good morning finn and shierlyn yong Nakita nyo sa loob ng Bahay nyo ay toko yon wag nyong sadaktan malaking tolong Yan sa inyo, dahi inakain nya Ang mga insikto sa loob ng Bahay tulad ng ipis langaw at kung ano ano pa god luck God Bless this family

Not an endorsement, but the choice for sardines is either 555 or Youngtown

I like both of you. Appreciating everything everyone. God bless you guys

I maintain a public pool. Once you add the chlorine and turn on the filter, then it will clear up. Vacuuming the bottom of the pool with a pool vacuum helps. Keep your PH between 7.4 and 7.6. Below 7.2 is acidic and will erode your tile grout. Above 7.6 and you will get mineral deposits in your pump etc.

Having a Tokay in your house brings good luck... We have 3 Tokay's for 7 years and we are very lucky 😂😂

When we were kids in the Philippines, we play in the rain because it’s fun and warm. In Europe or America it would be cold rain just plain uncomfortable.

Finn as you I have to have my fresh milk. I used to by that crap in the supermarked but then I realized they are doing something with the milk to make it last up to a year. Then my wife starting ordering milk from UPLB and I am hooked. We by milk for 1000php a week now. Like milk in Iceland it only last a week. It's proper milk. You should try to sourse out local milk in your area. I do envy you for the fish it's realy hard to find fresh fish here in Manila that is meaty and tasty.

Good job guys!!!!! Love it!!!

Beautiful place like n a paradise❤

Hey Finn, have you heard of the natural pool? Check it out. And for the drinking/house water, check out alkaline system. That’s the best and healthiest water.

Thanks for sharing your costs. I hope Finn’s health continues to improve.

Good day Lovely Couple. Busy days sir after your few days not well... Keep safe u both. Thanks for the updates. Hello Jake & Thor & to all ur kittens. ✌💖😘🐕😘🐕🐈

Icelandic people love milk, I don't missed to buy kókó mjólk in our groceries weekly. Even at work have free milk to drink. It's normal to them drink milk, here in Iceland. Because alots of sheep, and cow. And cow eat healthy grass whole year.

I hope you guys choose the good quality of your bathroom sink that lasts for a long time not based on look and affordability but also a good quality..maybe that bathroom sink gives you an example that can break easily try to choose a little bit pricey but the quality will guarantee you will last longer and give convenience to your daily living...the quality that deserve your money ...always be look for the best guys!

Two of you makes a really perfect couple,

Natural color and organic pool

Powerful finn

try to install solar water heater

WOW from A to Z everything is amazing 🎉❤so love this couple I been a follower since years ago . You guys tockbuilding your dreams out of love ❤what you love

Nice

Thats still good expenses...minus your house renting. Now you're living in your own house!👍🇵🇭🇧🇭

Yay!!!

Wow good filipina woman knows about pineapples free head to plants. No buying pineaaple for planting anymore.😊.

Hello Finn, is that the Apo Island across your view? Regards

I tried living in Dumaguete for a month ugh it was expensive than Metro Manila 😂 Anyway I'm going back to Pamplona Negros soon. I'm learning a lot from you Sher and Finn.

Wow from dirt Tonawanda dream home❤yourlife🎉 story is amazing🎉 a di souring

Lovely couple with lovely house on top of the hill , amazing indeed 👍😁

That tukko is good eating all the inseck inside the house. But their droppings are horrible. Be sure none comes inside.

Hej guys im like cant stop looking your vlogg. I must also work😊. Like im hypnotise difficult to stop😊.

Make a fishpond also and more chicken for consumption

Your girlfriend is really hands-on

❤❤❤

Finn just a suggestion, please look into reverse osmosis so you can process your own drinking water and don't have to buy.

i told ya.. .i hope you can ask mikey bustos for the company which they commissioned to help them with their pool.. it is so clean and its water is safe to drink for the animals to drink and for human also.. cleaning your pool with chlorine is not safe.. it could cause you allergies and cojld poizon or harmful for your pets and birds which could bisit ur pool to drink.oncd in a whole

That’s good❤

Nice video. When will the fence be finished so that Jake and Thor can roam freely?

Gecko brings goodluck when you have it @home

Electricity bill in Pinas is way toooo expensive! Good descision to have a solar panel..garlic,onion and ginger are also nice in your backyard.

Hi Fin, at 15:21 of the video, I think I saw a Thistle on the upper left with red flowers.

Good morning❤️

Can you use the rain water for the pool to reduce the mineral content? I assume the minerals come from the water flowing through the rocks. Also I envy and admire your energy efficiency, cost reductions. The solar was so worth it!

While young earn money when older money earn of itself😊.

Finn snow❤ Keep safe

Ihope the build can stand in the storm earthquake and mega typhon.

4:12 Like Sherlyn, I am also afraid of geckos 😫 The skin freaks me out. I had to cover the screen when you were showing it.

❤❤

❤❤❤❤

Try gata also..for your cooking.

❤Hi guys 😘 I miss the Milk , Bread, meat if you ordered and most of the small markets that had the good stuff . Today Walmart , C Town where you get lost for hours before you find the Mayo 😂😅. The old ways are still alive where you are 👍♥️🌍🤍🌎💙🌏❤️‍🔥🙌🕊️

💖💚💖💚💖💚💖💚💖💚

That’s a big 🦎 gecko😊

Is it skimmer not controlled separately from the floor drain? I’ve had four different pools (in the US) and the skimmer was always on a different valve.

4:55 in my province we call it "toko". i remember my father used to pet 10 toko's and 1 of them escaped, my father tried to catch it but ended up badly like he got bitten and broke his nail

Finn!can you link the water system in your house…in your area planning to get one…because for me water is life!!!we need good quality of water.

mas okay pagawa nlang kayo Ng deep well

❤❤🌱🍀🌿

how much is the house cost? I believe it sit on the hilltop with coconuts as your neighbors, no problems with fresh waters I think

200 pesos per kilo tuna its not expensive in Luzon its almost 350 up

🌼🌼🌼

hey Finn, so how does what you're paying now compared to where you were living in that big house rental? I remember all of the brownouts and and you constantly trying to run a generator, it was pretty frustrating for you. Now you have solar, 'the power might go out but the sun always shines'. You have a good start on eating your own fruit,.. are you seeing some savings yet?

I have a question what brand solar power did you decide to use? Are you happy with your solar? I am sorry if you said this in a past video. I am wanting to build a house in the near future and also want to be 100% solar off grid. Thank you for sharing your life story. :)

As I see you dont have a maindrain in the floor off your pool ore no valves to cloose the scimmers, its not normal to have green water filling up the pool and not be able to use the pump till its totally filled

Did you bring your pups from your home country and if you did how much did it cost to bring over your pups?

New to watching your videos noticed your dogs chasing the lizard aren’t you scared of them encountering a cobra?

But how much did you spend to go offgrid?❤❤❤

It's a shame you don't have an indoor kitchen or furniture for the downstairs

Plant calamnsi too or lemon and mango, rambutan, lansones, dwarf coconut. Why you aren't bulid dirty kitchen?

I remember the toko is known to Chinese they buy it very expressive and make a medicine for cancer i remember more Filipinos hunting toko that time and sale to chinese....
