yes handy to have those steps , no doubt about that !! exactly a great outside kitchen , cant get any better then that in tropics , for sure when u finish the lil deck and a set of stairs going up stairs , yessssssss sooooo nice
It all looks good to me and if you and Miss Mel are happy with it then that's all that matters. 🙂 You're living the dream that the vast majority of your viewers admire and envy to include those that critique. 👍
Your home is amazing! Nevermind the critics, whats the old saying about unless you have been walking in someone elses shoes... And yes, the doors swell here in the Phils! Most of my doors rub now, and a few warped as well (both store bought and custom).
We have a wet season in our summer, cyclone time too, yes they swell as yours do humidity does things people don't understand. Love what's happening there looks great and we can see where your going with it well done. 😊
James keep up the good work that you are doing love it my man ! Sadly there are those that like to run there mouths off when they don't have a clue to the conditions there. I been watching your channel for some time now and i built many houses, as i said keep up the good work
You might find this funny. Last month when I came to the Philippines. I was stopped at the New Orleans Airport because my can of Tony's set off their bomb tester. They said it came up as bomb making materials. Lol. And I've been eating it all my life.
Hey James man that new open deck will be so cool if it were mine that's where you would find me when weather permits. Hey a Question when do you have planned to finish that fantastic spiral staircase in the house ??? Are you going to put up wood or stainless hand rails ?? Brother yall have that form poured steps down pat you make it look so easy peesy lol 😆. Brother you keep spending & have been for awhile now I know the labor is cheap and some but not all materials are cheaper there than here . But damn bro your going to have a sizeable investment there when you get finished . You can't help but have & I realize the place is now bringing in a money flow now but wow . But Your going to have a Texas size palace there amigo 🤔. It's nice to be the big boy on the block ain't it cuz I'm very happy for yall and it is good to be King !!! Go big or go home right lmao 🤣 GOD BLESS YALL MUCH RESPECT YOUR WAY .
Eveybody watching your vids atleast once in there lives have had a door rub in the summer and not rub in the winter or vise versa its common in older houses
Wood moves with the seasons, no matter what the finish. This is a fact of life known to woodworkers who build furniture and must be taken into account when designing projects. As for the dirty kitchen, it is one of the best ideas to come out of the PI.
Pay no attention to the haters they just don’t understand you’re on an island in the tropics almost on the equator. It’s hot. It’s humid and there’s a lot of moisture in the air. It’s really that simple.
Fact is it gave many people good advice on sealing their doors and sitting them up with tolerance for swelling in humidity. If it is extremely humid when you set them them allow for shrinkage in dry season. vice versa. Don't mind how the topic came along but look at the knowledge that others gained by the topic being opened up. This is why I thank him for that comment because it provided fuel for topic.
Hi James ! Great progress ! I know your red roof is for your boat, BUT did you ever consider making it a cemento roof / patio for open air relaxing / dining when the weather is clear at night???
@@TexasFilipino you are free to gargle whatever you want that’s as far as I’m going to go since you live on the sea, you can just heat the water from the sea so you don’t have to buy salt… love your projects makes me tired watching you. Hopefully we’ll get down there sometime to stay in your B&B. Thanks again.
So far we have not hurt any lightning in the building of this house. I see no reason to protect the lightning and just let it be free. I know I am a smart ass. just have humor.
lol ur lying about ur doors James , u just dont know what ur taking about !!!!!! lol some peoples kids , just laugh at them James , i think u know what ur doing and with ur house etc build proves it
HA HA HA I bet you any thing that don't happen. It has always been slated to have a deck. That is why I used concrete steel deck instead of regular metal.
@@TexasFilipino. Hi James, was wondering about what finish you will put on the slab, being basically facing south?. I imagine the glare, from the sun, might be blinding if white for instance?. Pity , teak is so expensive, it a great look( is commonly used on boats!). Another thought I had, was to put a shallow trough along the sides, or at least the right hand side. Make a great place to plant salt tolerant, low growing flowering , self seeding plants, sedum for example! Regards to all. Roger
His child has been in the hospital for over a week and a half. He was with the child most of that time as a "runner" for his wife. If your here in the Philippines you would know what a runner is. These videos are not day by day as some days are skipped. Mak Mak loves to work and wanted to be here. Work takes the mind off of things. I like how your first reaction is to find something to hate me for without knowing any of the facts. Sad state of affairs. Lastly how do know how I paid him? Did you see our labor log book or private conversations. Your just assuming there also. It's none of your business but we helped him with his child's situation and we did not ebeg for it on youtube. The one to be taken back is me by your actions and thoughts. Are you big enough to apologize?
Unless people live here, they don't understand the value of a utility (dirty) kitchen! In fact, a good percentage of the houses we've been looking at don't have much of an indoor kitchen! Living right on the water is going to exaggerate any wood swelling, compared to where I live, 40km inland. Sure was a pretty, serene view of the water, until the storm rolled in 😲🌧
Surprised you didn't make your own cabinet doors since you got the Kregg pocket screw jig. They're super easy to make with those. Biggest trick is to make a wooden jig when clamping because that last 1/16th of an inch of tightening the screw it wants to walk the wood out of alignment and the vice clamps alone wont hold them in place. Only downside is the holes are easy to see after filling in if you stain the inside as well. I just bondo them in and paint over and you can't see them. If you only want to stain then Kregg also makes a dowel jig so you make your own plugs and the grain matches better.
build my own casket and lay down in it. Sitting on our butts is not mine or Mel's style. We both are so hyper. We can't be doing nothing. I will begin building a 50% native 50% modern catamaran and enjoy the process at my own pace. Even if it never sees the water while I am alive I will enjoy the motions. If I do live to enjoy it even better.
James... I am amazed that after all these years you still take the bait like a starving fish.. Just over look the negative dickheads. If you don't respond d they will give up Enjoy your day

👍😎👍
I love these concrete projects . I have learned so much just watching you construct . Thank you James
yes handy to have those steps , no doubt about that !! exactly a great outside kitchen , cant get any better then that in tropics , for sure when u finish the lil deck and a set of stairs going up stairs , yessssssss sooooo nice
We agree!
It's looking great . I'm glad to see you teach jili to cook I love cooking with my daughter
Ha ha, I would LOVE to have that outdoor kitchen, no lie.
I don't blame ya Cathie. It is so enjoyable right there.
I really enjoy a rainy night in the Philippines
Me too! I love watching the lightning shows over the ocean
That outdoor kitchen is freakn awesome.
It all looks good to me and if you and Miss Mel are happy with it then that's all that matters. 🙂 You're living the dream that the vast majority of your viewers admire and envy to include those that critique. 👍
I love the way your “dirty” kitchen connects to the indoor kitchen. Stealing your ideas when I build my house in Iloilo!!
Your home is amazing! Nevermind the critics, whats the old saying about unless you have been walking in someone elses shoes... And yes, the doors swell here in the Phils! Most of my doors rub now, and a few warped as well (both store bought and custom).

Go big or go home right lmao 🤣 GOD BLESS YALL MUCH RESPECT YOUR WAY .
Doors here in south Louisiana swell all the time, during wet weather.
Good to see the Cat protecting the property LOL.
Lazy worthless sucker. LOL
Eveybody watching your vids atleast once in there lives have had a door rub in the summer and not rub in the winter or vise versa its common in older houses
Back rubs are more common in the summer than winter also. LOL Good morning Donnie.

Exactly
👍
If,I mean when, you pour a Deck on your new real estate for shade would be cool for potted trees in planters instead of awnings and nets
The strong winds and salt will always destroy them. That is why there is very few species grow along the beach.

@@TexasFilipinoPrecisely James and of course , you made a few bucks from views( not what the commenter intended, presumably!)Lol
Hi James ! Great progress ! I know your red roof is for your boat, BUT did you ever consider making it a cemento roof / patio for open air relaxing / dining when the weather is clear at night???
Oops ! At 8 minutes I think you just answered that question ???
that is what I just said in this video. :)
@@TexasFilipino yep I should have waited until the end ! My bad !!!!
Just wanted to let you know I've got a little room left in my bag. If you need anything from the US. God bless and stay safe.
I can't currently think of nothing but we sure thank you
Gargle with warm salt water at least three times a day
Can I gargle with Corona, salt and lime? Seems that would be better. Just joking thanks for the advice and comment. Happy Sunday
@@TexasFilipino you are free to gargle whatever you want that’s as far as I’m going to go since you live on the sea, you can just heat the water from the sea so you don’t have to buy salt… love your projects makes me tired watching you. Hopefully we’ll get down there sometime to stay in your B&B. Thanks again.
Your place is looking awesome! With your home being so tall do you need or have lightning protection?
Yes, it goes!
I enquired about that years ago, as well. Great minds think alike? Lol
So far we have not hurt any lightning in the building of this house. I see no reason to protect the lightning and just let it be free. I know I am a smart ass. just have humor.
lol ur lying about ur doors James , u just dont know what ur taking about !!!!!! lol some peoples kids , just laugh at them James , i think u know what ur doing and with ur house etc build proves it
Don’t pour a slab on the boat roof. If you do, you’ll end up putting up walls, then forming a roof ……. James, you’re out of control…😊
HA HA HA I bet you any thing that don't happen. It has always been slated to have a deck. That is why I used concrete steel deck instead of regular metal.

A comment is a comment…..
Good or bad….. they all help the analytics ……. Bring them on, James is a big boy….
Some peoples lives are so miserable they have to trole the internet and pick apart other peoples lives to make them feel better , makes me laugh .
13:40 james me and my husband we're a little taken back that you didn't pay him for the day and allow him to be with his child at the hospital. 😢
