Philippines 4.0 Building a new home
Philippines
Приєднався 7 бер 2020
Here's the plan
We have just moved to the Philippines. Our plan is to build a house, start a garden, and then who knows what.
Probably a bit of smart home stuff, and maybe even a bit of cooking - let's see how I can make a mess of local ingredients.
We will (try to) document this on a daily basis.
A few possible bumps in the road:
we know nothing about house building
or gardening
or making videos
and very little about cooking and smart homes
Covid 19
we arrived in the rainy season
What could possibly go wrong?
Ok so we need help. There are some brilliant channels out there which tell you how to do these things. This channel will be different - we are going to be asking you.
So what's in it for you ?
- Probably you get to see some epic failures
- We will share the help that you give us - we will pass on the tips and advice that enables us to emerge from those failures
- Weekly US$1m give away
OK maybe that last one is not true
Why Philippines 4.0 ? Watch and find out.

Philippine House Building Day 472 - Villa Crassa: A Finished House
Philippine House Building Day 472 - Villa Crassa: A Finished House
We reach the end of our house building series here in the Philippines.
We may still do a "lessons learned" video, if you put enough comments in to suggest you are interested.
The (now quite small) crew are still on site, but in general are only working on the driveway, with just a few bits of touch up inside.
In this video, we give you a little bit of a house tour, along with some parts of the house blessing - which is very common here. And then the party to follow, and we were extremely that a whole bunch of the crew came back to celebrate with us.
All of this, along with the added huge bonus (at least for me) of a couple of very important guests - even if one of them was unwell on the day and we did not manage to catch my brother in the video.
We hope you have enjoyed the process. Or, as you know from my criteria for "likes", at least the videos did not make you violently ill !
The focus now, will be on the garden, as we try to turn a very flat field into something a little more pleasing on the eye.

Ignore Compost Science In this first gardening episode, we take a look at compost. There is plenty of information online about how to compost, but here we take just a little look at the science of composting, and why, if you choose to, you might consider ignoring some of it. The problem is not that the science is wrong, but that if you are aiming for what is said to be the ideal ratio of compon...

5 Reasons YOU should have a UA-cam channel If you search online for "reasons to have a UA-cam channel", most likely you will mostly get hits about making money. This is valid, but in my short UA-cam creator life, I have found there is a lot more to it than that - and in fact in my case, making money is not my number one reason. I will give you five reasons - there are of course more, and I woul...

My God, that's one he'll of a pool..where are you in the Philippines, we have our own channel on UA-cam too..if you check out our last update of our house, you can see in the back part of our garden, where we intend to build a raised pool...any tips please..we are still living in 🇬🇧 UK..but intend to move completely to iloilo in 2025 Regards Tim and Jn
House is beautiful. Enjoy you home. Hope you keep making more
Hello sir, we want to build a swimming pool also in our house. Do we have to obtain a permit? If yes how do you get it? Thank you and God bless you
I am watching your vlog, first of all you have a beautiful home I wish one day when my husband and I both retired here in the U.S we can do the same way. I wonder if what province you guys at?
The problem with the window screen on the inside is that you have to walk outside to slide the window open or close. In America the screen will be on the outside for that reason. The screens never take a beating, generally anyway, but replacing a screen is a cheap quick fix.
I will wait for the sequel: 5 Reasons You SHOULDN'T have a UA-cam channel. :)
damn, thats nice. do you have solar power on the roof? Im interested to know what you do or used to do for a living
Yo whats going on out there ?
You have a huge property /house but the interior design and stuffs inside are horrible and not organize. It's not the high -end quality nor no wow! factor. We are home builders in USA and just watched what you did is not that great.
Great thing opinions is they are like assholes. Everyone has them and you are one. Have a nice day!!!
Don't call me asshole. Don't post any crap videos if you don"t accept the fact.
i agree ....12,000 sqm, my opinion waste of space, waste of money, bad decor , small rooms, didnt utilise the land space, i think he focused more on little features and swimming pool, could of done alot ALOT more
@@megawega6370your the asshole . Your BS!
Doesn’t matter as long as he’s happy with it. Doesn’t matter as long as the client enjoys the output. Imagine asking a hairdresser for a trim and they cut off your hair because they think it would suit you better... Beauty has and will always be in the eye of the beholder.
You are blessed with that big property. ❤ Wish I could have too❤
Huge house. What is the budget for such a project over there?
some useless info for you Mike, get the old cow patties and put them somewhere to dry for a month, when they are nice and dry, squirt a little kerosene on one side and light it, once it smoulders and smokes you wont have mozzies for a hundred meters, they hate it, a nice old dry one also wont smell when it burns because they are plant based...used to do it all the time camping in Australia where they have those bush mozzies so thick you were scared they would carry you away in the night...I know its a bit rough lol
nice Videos, really worth the watch!
Thank you Sir
Hi sir mike, Can you please do a house tour❤️
Price of house? Price of pool?
Hi Mike. found your site 2 weeks ago. caught up to day 191 here. Fascinating as I too am lucky enough the have a Filipina asawa. We are in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. The plan is to retire in the Philippines in 5 to 8 yrs. It's common here as we have the third largest Filipino community in Canada. Here it's called Pilipino retirement. Winter in the Philippines and Summer in Canada. Just under six months out of Canada so you keep your healthcare coverage. I'm 60. She is 65 but looks 40ish. Started watching "That Philippines life" then to "Building the Philippines and then found your site. All very educational.
Property size?
a very huge nice house sad my husband dont see ur house finished he watched ur vlog everytime u have video for the first u build ur house , he passed away already but i said to him ur house is already done and very beautiful, we adore u both he is from england too,, see u in ur next vlog,sorry if i watched only coz im very lonely that time he died, last year,
i can tell you we got same build idea. home theatre, sauna, gym, green house, pool etc.
Hi Mike, where have you been? Hope you're all ok.
Hello guys just called in to see how things are with you now, yes I do hope you are thinking maybe some more thoughts from your days here in the Philippines..,..living your dream love you all, have a great day♥️♥️♥️♥️
I was wondering what road (Road name) that you live on. Please
I was wondering what road (road name) that you live on, Please.
Beautiful house. Congratulations. Leslie considers that the his and hers toilets are too far apart!
You may have forgotten me by now, But hello from Haleyville, Alabama, USA. Watching some of these that i seemed to have missed.
I see that you're fully in charge here & know all things. (Join the crowd, after me of course)
I don't know if you're Pretty or sure. Myself. Hum, could be though 😁(Big smile)
What happened to you? Did you cancel your channel? My wife and I really enjoyed your musings and your build. Do you plan on resuming any time soon?
It really would have been nice to know you would be ending the channel. I looked forward to the adventure each week or so. You asked people to subscribe and make your adventure somewhat a part of their life. And then to abruptly stop without warning seems a bit inconsiderate. Nevertheless, you don’t really owe your subscribers who’ve invested time and dare I say emotion into your life anything. Or do you? Even a little consideration? Just my perspective after waiting two months for another video. Just saying….
Maybe he died.
I hope that you & your Asawa are both doing alright today.
It turned amazing. 🍺🍺
Stumbled across this video 3 weeks ago, and fell into the trap!! Have just finished watching every episode from day 1! Thanking you for documenting the process, what a journey it was! Very entertaining, almost sad to complete the series, however my wife will be very happy to not hear your voice talking from the TV all day 😅 Very well done, hope you’re enjoying the new home.
Nice house
Thank you for this bit of knowledge from a prospective farmer.
Imagine how irritated I am. I was wondering what was going on with you as I haven't seen any videos since your compost video 2 months ago. Somehow you were taken out of my subs. Oh well. When is your viewers party eh? LOL I enjoyed your series so much. It was part of my daily routine for over a year. Hope to see some new videos in the future. But really, when is your viewers party, mate? I swear I will be there with a drink and a song. 🤣 As this series has ended, so must the joke of the day end. Sadly it is THAT time, Mike. Away we go... How do you stop a bull from charging? . . . . <wait for it> . . . . You take away his credit card. 🐮🤣🐮🤣🐮🤣🐮🤣🐮🤣🐮🤣
let me guess...you used to be a golfing commentator before retiring??
how much was total construction cost please /( as I planned to build a similar house
Wow very big house 😍
Good for you to fullfill your dreams. I left my big house in canada and live here in a small house. I love it.
How much did everything cost?
Rude question to ask really....let's just say you need to have a bit of savings 😅😅
Absolutely fabulous! Congratulations and thanks for keeping us entertained all this while. Looking forward to lush lawns and the greenhouse yields.
you should put bigger windows for view
I don't like bars on window if there's a fire you can't get out
when putting up ceilings its obligatory to sing the song feelings ...but replacing the word with ceilings.
Beautiful home sir so are you currently married to a flipino the reason I ask is cau I don't see your wife on any of your vedios and so you have kids just curious ok any way you have a beautiful home
A column should be poured from bottom to underside of slab in one day.
Nice house! Well done. Can you please mention which Town, Province & how much it costs you to build your mansion? Thanks & god bless 🙏
How much is the house and the lot including the garage, pool and concrete fence?
Perfect MANSION… If you built these big in US or in EUROPE it costs you 10x the amount you’ve spent here in the Phils.. No need heater for you are here in summer all year round.. Congrats to you.. 🎉
Big plot . Where is it ?
