Imagine starting a channel, just to keep friends and family informed about what was going on? 😂🤣
What I’ve been doing with my channel.
But I don’t have any expectations of ever having 10K subscribers!
Congratulations Wilma and Greg!
You both deserve it 👍
Thanks Jerry, keep making videos and subscribers will join.
@@buildingthephilippines Like you, Greg, I started this Vlog channel just to keep everyone informed. It’s nothing like my big Y.T. Channel I had for 5 years. It was growing strong. But nobody wants to watch about guns, etc, so I let that channel die when my late wife died. This channel is for fun
@jerrymarshall2728 wish you lots of luck with it.
I’m surprised 😲 you didn’t put in an automated watering system Greg. I know you don’t want to have unnecessary maintenance so you can enjoy retirement 😊 Congratulations 🍾 on 10K subscribers!
Thanks Philip, haven't thought about auto watering system. Appreciate the suggestion.
thanks Wikma and Greg

Thanks for the update, house and property looks great! Don't work too hard at getting the garden area leveled out, slow and steady wins the race.
Congrats on hitting 10,000 subscribers!!
Thanks Bob for commenting. Yes, need a new rake 1st. Just seen that my old one has a broken handle. Will get it done soon.
Congrats on the 10k subs, you two deserve the attention...
Good catch on that improper solar system connection by a sub...
That's something that's really important...You definitely want to track the battery temps ...
Everything is really shaping up nicely with the property...
Congrats on that too!
Cheers...
🙏🙏🙏
👍😎👍
Thank you for commenting, appreciate it.
Make sure you get something with UV protection in the products for the Kubo. Like some UV protection clear coat. That should help against the sun.
Great point on the UV protection. Need to check on that.
Congrats on the 10,000 mark!
Thanks James appreciate it.
Congratulation ❤ just amazing.
Thank you, appreciate it.
Congratulations on your 10k subscribers 👏

I am really glad to see princess doing amazing. And very happy you decided to leave his four years alone I think he looks incredibly cute the way he is and he's still very intimidating looking
Thanks Joe, appreciate the comment.
That was supposed to say poor ears LOL autocorrect
Congratulations on your 10,000 subscribers!
Thank you, appreciate it.
Congratulations on the 10K subscribers Greg and Wilma.
Thanks Gary appreciate the comment.
Congrats 🥰
Thank you
Exterior stains really take a beating in the Sun, Water or Acrylic stains last longer, Oil stains fade and turn white quickly.
Spar varnish is for Boats will have a UV resistant quality . The landscape is looking great.
Now i am anticipating the Taboo subject! will be watching !
Hi Rory, need to read the label of what I bought. The sun really beats all paint/stains here. Next video will spark lively debate.
Congratulations on your 10k subscribers. I'm very sure that the number will soon go up. God bless you both always 💕
Thank you appreciate that.
Love the lawn idea prince will probably enjoy that as well
Yes, that's exactly what we are thinking. More grass area for him to roam.
I tried to comment as much as I can cuz I know what helps your channel grow
@joemelo1372 yes, thank you
Congratulations Greg with the milestone of 10k
Good the battery temp issue is solved
Thank you and thanks for seeing the issue displayed on our inverter.
Congratulations on hitting 10,000. Prince is beautiful 00 my husband always wanted that breed. The yard is beautiful. Glad you are both well.
Hi Gloria, appreciate the comment.
Congratulations on 10K!
Your place looks so nice!
Btw marigolds are beautiful and are snake repellent.
Thank you, snake repellent. That's great to know.
10K 👍
Thanks Ray, appreciate it.
Hey guys congratulations 🎉😂for reaching the 10k mark, great channel
Thank you, appreciate that.
Congratulations ate wilma and kuya Greg for 10k subscribers
Thank you Joy, for the comment. Travel safely home to Leyte soon.
Great ! I live, I mean love Taboo 😆
Can't wait to see those comments, I will need to put on my big boy pants on. Goes up the 31st.
Make tortsng eggplants, very delicious.
Never heard of that.
I am proud of you both of your channel's success. Congratulations! The information you share with your subscribers are remarkable. Thank you. 🎉
Thank you for the nice comment, appreciate it.
❤❤😊
Thank you appreciate it.
I started giving our dog Sara an egg a day at dinner (coat looks better) and now you have raised the bar to 2 a day! 😂
Lol, Prince loves the texture of the food when it's mixed with an egg. Good protein for him. Glad Sara likes it too.
You can drastically reduce watering by mulching your garden beds.
Thanks for that suggestion, appreciate it.
BRING ON THE “CONTRIVERSIAL” TOPIC!!
Lol, comes out the 31st. Let the comments fly. Have a few more in que.
House and property are looking really good. I currently live in DC and have a Filipino girlfriend. We are planning on getting married and then I have about 5 years left before I can retire. At that point the gameplan is to move to the Filipinos and finish out our days. Any recommendations for moving all my belongings there? I would also be interested in knowing more about what vegetables you grew in your garden, what worked and what didn’t. Thanks in advance!
You can simply send belongings in balikbayan boxes. We shipped 35 of them. Go to any Filipino store in your area and most have a partnership with a shipping company like LBC or UMAC. If you want to ship large items, need to ship a 20 or 40 foot container. Balikbayan boxes cost around 100 dollars each, container is much more. Garden, hot peppers, scallions, okra, egg plant, lemon grass grew the best in our garden.
I had the same problem with my kubo, the plastic varnish doesn't last. We used polyurethane last time and it still looks good after 6 months.
Oh OK that's another option. Need to look at the minwax, I think it poly based as well.
Do you know if the new building going up next to you (below and to the left looking at the ocean) will stay a single level? They are a possible view blocker!
Yes, single story with flat metal roof. Will not block ocean views.
Thanks for the update y'all. Was just curious, how does your front gate operate? Is it a sliding gate, or is it a pivoting gate? Would think its also operated manually. Thanks again and looking forward to the next video....Jim
Hi Jim, it's a sliding gate with 2 metal wheels that ride on angle iron in the cement. We will have a electric gate opener at some point.
@@buildingthephilippines Ah okay was just wondering, couldn't tell from the video that the gate had room or fit behind the wall/fence. Nothing wrong with a manual gate, thanks for answering....Jim
@jsully4064 works well, but when it's raining hard it would be nice to have an automatic opener.
Need a stain/sealer with UV protection. I don’t think minwax has that.
Great point, I need to check on that.
@@buildingthephilippines there is a product named Flood and it has worked okay for me but I am in Texas. 😉 Best of luck.
We are considering solar when we go back this March. May i know how many watts do you have to power your house? 😊
5500 watts of panels. 10.24kva battery pack.
@@buildingthephilippines I thank you for the quick response.
I have a solar question. How many shower heaters do you have and how does a 6000W shower heater effect your solar daily usage?
I have a 6000w and 4000w shower heaters. They are hooked to the grid only. Our bill last month was $7 dollars. I believe they would draw too much from the system, so I decided to keep the hooked to the grid. To add another battery to handle the water heaters is $3000 dollars. $7 monthly would take 36 years to break even. Not worth it.
What’s the name of the solar company? And what was the size of your system
New company, Alpha solar. 10, 550 watt panels. 5000 watt inverter and 10.24kva battery. Lp top sun brand, except panels. They are Canadian solar.
what size is your lot ? thanks
1100 square meters
Can’t you buy garden soil and top your law with it so that your grass is greener.
Not sure
