    The local government of Dauin should make both of you tourism ambassadors. You've contributed so much in promoting this place, almost unknown to many Pinoys.

    Finn - That papaya isnt fully ripe yet. Best way to eat it is as an appetizer - cubed and drenched in cane vinegar and sprinkled with salt. The star apple is also best scooped out and mixed with heavy cream and chilled. Condensed milk is optional.

    Very nice-looking house! The white color, inside and outside, just makes it stand out if you're looking from afar, just beautiful. Good thing a grown star apple tree is already in your property and to have Sherlyn take care of things when you're away. Great progress on the house and thanks as always for sharing. Keep safe guys and the Lord protect you on your travels.

    For your peace of mind while you are away just to make sure that your property is safe from forest fire you may also install automatic water sprinkle on top of the wall surrounding your property connected to a water tank with automatic water pump from below the well aimed on a area which you think where most probably the fire would easily spread widely. We have a Filipino saying its better for a thief to steal from your house rather than a fire that would destroy the whole property & even to take your life.

Congratulations to your workers, they're doing a really good job!👍💯👍Happy Easter to all of you. 🐰😊🐰 Stay healthy, both of you, and your two sweet dogs too. 🙏😃 Kind regards Andrea from Germany 👋🤗

    Hello Finn and Sherlyn, I always look forward to your videos. When I saw the eagles flying above I thought of your cat. Please watch your cat when it’s outside. The eagle can fly off with a small dog or cat which is what happened to a friends family member. I’m sure you may already know that. Loving the house.

    Your home is getting done slowly. I can see the shape of the whole house and the swimming pool now. I can't wait to see the swimming pool in full operation someday. Mariwasa is a good company. They carry a lot of good quality materials. I'm always waiting for you and Sherlyn's vlogs. Please add some exciting pics of the ocean when you are cruising with your lovely boat. Take care, and God bless. ❤❤❤

    The fire break with a higher fence makes sense based on the fires that already have happened...
    Really this is a project of love for the two of you and it shows...
    Be safe and hopefully rain comes soon...
    So many areas there are suffering this year from the drought...
    Great update and have a super weekend!

Must be and should be an amazing feeling for you both. Your first home and wow ,look at it. Excited for the next vlog.

I SAID BEFORE AUSTRALIA IS ONE OF THE DRIEST CONTINENT, MOST PEOPLE LIVING UP IN THE HILL HEAVILY RELY ON RAIN WATER. EVEN PEOPLE IN THE CITY WITH BACKYARD SPACE DO HAVE WATER TANK FOR THEIR GARDEN, WASHING CARS AND OTHER USES.

    I’m abit worried with already cracks around your rooftop patio/deck depending on which country you’re from. Especially in a newly built house. 😮. I hope your pool not like that I seen how wet the cement was laid. No hate please just saying what I’m seeing.
    Shrinkage is a main cause of cracking. As concrete hardens and dries it shrinks. This is due to the evaporation of excess mixing water. The wetter or soupier the concrete mix, the greater the shrinkage will be.
