We are building a house in Southern Leyte. Progress is fast with expected total duration well under 180 days. The house is close to a beautiful beach and will be a single story, fully accessible, 3 bedroom, with a pool and solar. It's not a traditional Filipino home but it's based on one we saw that was built many years ago by a relative. Along the way we have had more than a few challenges and made lots of changes and many decisions on next steps. Building is not for the feint at heart but we are proving that with thought and effort it can be fun watching a home emerge from a few rough drawings and ideas.

Thank you for watching. It's coming together nicely. It's a lot of work but worth watching it unfold.

Just amazing at your progress. It really looks great. Wish we could have stayed another couple weeks to see it finished. Very nice editing as well.

SO glad you poured the walls of your pool, and didn't use hollow blocks! I cringe every time I see HB being used for pool walls! They are NOT load bearing! Best of luck with the remainder of your build.

Before we started we looked at previous work our engineer had done and one of the pools he made - a lot more complicated than ours - so we knew how it was built.

Amazing progress… all quality workmanship. 👏🏻👏🏻 Thank you for the new Maasin mall video clip (will be back there in October).

Our engineer is extremely good and he listens to me but more importantly the workers follow his instructions pretty much to the letter. The new mall could be more foreigner friendly but it's a step up on the other one. Still have to go to Ormoc or Tacloban for some stuff periodically.

Looking great. You did just like me make a extra extern cr for the people then they dont run around in your house. LOL. The pool is great did you let them make it bye a contractor or with the local people. Also the seat in the pool is a good idea i take it with me in my drawings plans. Cheers mate

An external CR is a must here as we expect the pool to be used a lot.

Go for it! The choice we made was for a basic no-frills design rather than follow the fancy - to us anyway - local ideas. As they say - to each their own. Make sure you get a good engineer to supervise unless you are having an architect do it which is more expensive.
