At least you found a good solution. Security, no matter where you live, is a good thing. The system sounds like the one i had in my retail stores back in the day. Community that are good should look out for each other. Being pro active is always the plan. OMG, that goat story is frightening. Take Care as always😊

My preference is completely off grid, is it possible? I apologize if you have covered this previously . Cheers from Canada, Kevin

    Since I was considering Philipines, I’ve watched all things pertaining to homes, including homes for sale. This has been the niggling brain worm I ignored at first gah 😖. Security bars on windows! It’s NEVER mentioned on sites or news-do you HAVE a LOT of home burglaries??? Why such fear if not? I get safer, but is it a thing-breakins??? Thank you, and I’d have done the same with the starlink box etc and cover too be safer. You guys seem to cover many bases well. Love to Prince 🐾🐾🐾🙏🏻😎❤️

    • @302Rmack

      Some areas, break-ins tend to be more common when properties are unattended. Just like in the u.s.

    • @buildingthephilippines
      @buildingthephilippines 10 днів тому

      We have so much glass in our home, bars would look pretty awful. I don't like the prison look of bars either. Break ins are more common, in this area, I believe, to the larger concentration of foreigner homes. It always seems when you hear of a break in a foreigner lives there.

    • @buildingthephilippines

    • @jerrymarshall2728
      @jerrymarshall2728 10 днів тому

      When we shopped for houses, security was one of our priorities. The house we bought doesn't have any bars on the windows, or barbed wire on the fences. The majority of the houses in our subdivision are the same. There are a few older, original homes that look like prisons, but you can't always get people to change their ingrained ways of thinking, and they've lived their entire lives believing they need to live behind bars and wire to be safe. I pay HOA fees for a gated community with roving armed guards. Then I don't have to go to prison, every time I go home

    • @buildingthephilippines
      @buildingthephilippines 10 днів тому

      Gated community gives a good sense of security. Bars on windows is a no go for me. Security system is pretty cheap and easy to install.

    Can get an uninterruptable power back up just for a modem for less than 500 pesos on Shopee works great.... says 4-5 hours and we came close to 4 hours once before it died ... only tested that long once and I imagine it will deteriorate over time but I bought 2 for the planned all day power brownouts we get from time to time so we'd have nearly 8 hours
