I have a bottle of Champagne to celebrate the completion of this project and all the hard work you and your crew are doing. Its wonderful and educational. I will be watching it till the BITTER end.
Glad that you feel better today James, take care of your health it come first, not only to keep providing us with all the valuable information, great videos and your pleasing music in between. Thanks and I wish you all the best. Regards to the lovely Ness!
Hi Ness Nice to hear from you and to know you're doing fine, your effort much appreciated, like, the ultimate power behind James, we can feel you but you can't be seen! God bless you and bless your family in the Philippines and the US of A.
That cell phone ring took me back 50 years. Reminded me of answering an old dial phone. No doubt you know your ring in a crowd of 10,000 with everyones phones ringing.
Again, a very nice video. Thank you for all the work you are doing and have done on this series. Our home on our island province is often warn. Our ceilings are about 101/2 to 11 foot off the floor. We wanted it 16 foot, but the boys were afraid to go that high. Inside our home, our temperature is right around 84 degrees. That is a bit warm, but tolerable. We can open the windows and get a warm breeze. We found that wall fans are far more effective than a ceiling fan in each room. That is just us, many may come in with other ideas. At night we cool the rooms down into the 70s. The idea for me is to have the air moving. We use a wall fan in every room. Screens keep out the insects, (for the most part, but screens also decrease the air flow into the home. We put up screens and the house got hotter and we had to put in A/C units. I would avoid screens if I were the only one to live inThe home. I work a lot outside on our veranda. I enjoy working outside, drinking cool tea, and doing my computer and Internet work. I read a lot of ebooks outside on the veranda. Anyway,that us just my experience. Our home could have more outlets. We gave juggled several circuit breakers. We have just three bedrooms, a dining and living room, two bathrooms, (one with a tub,both with showers and heating coils). We have an indoor kitchen as well as an outside dirty kitchen and an outside laundry area. We have nearly as much outside covered area as we have inside covered area. We gave 128 square meters inside and about 100 square meters outside and covered. Your home is far larger than ours. I am guessing your lot was about $60,000 to $65,000, (USA$). I am thinking that your home, unfinished will run about $125 to $125,000. How close did I come. Building costs have doubled since we build the house in 2002 to 2003. We did great and built our own furniture for the most part, (beds, closets, drawers and the like). We did buy a fining room set and a western style soda and loves seat. We also have a nice tv stand. We have a lot of books and have built in a lot of book cases and also cabinets. I bush you the very best in furnishing your home. Furnishings are really where the home cones into its own. God bless!
General suggestion James. Have you thought about changing up your intro just to keep things fresh? Remember you still have 250+ episodes to go. Central content is still great. Can't wait to see the first floor poured!
Good to see your rolling again James, Networking info was also good for me, as internet is something i will want to be as good as is available in my area, so thanks for that, hope for more though....... Now i have to ask, but hope i,m wrong, again setting up the re bar info for us poor folk who have no idea, is great, I get the splice thing and get the part where bar hooks up from the bottom of the beam when goes into the pillars and down from the top beam, and both go to the back of the pillar to create maximum structural strength. So if you look at todays vlog at around 23 46. 24.00 it shows you giving the corner explanation, well if you look at the two bottom bars coming in from the left of picture, they both look to be bent up at the front of the pillar and not at the back as you have been explaining. hope i,m wrong, but best to ask now than mention after the pour
I hope me in Philippines but I'm form Saudi Arabia Riyadh and I'm very happy for you just I have son in cavite and home so nice wath your doing in Philippines
Hello James - I'm an OFW working in the middle east and I'm in Cavite area. I wired my 400 square meter house using cat 6 and RG 6 (TV) and RG 6 with 2 additional wire (built in along side with the coaxial) for power supply. I have 8 analog cameras (HK vision) 4 dome & 4 bullet. HK vision uses EZVIZ apps so that you can monitor the cameras wherever you are as long you have internet connection. My cameras have built in infrared during night time. You can check the review for these type of cameras. So far I installed mine 5 years ago, it's working fine. I have 3TB hard drive and separate power supply & fuses for each cameras. The main reason was, if one camera failed the rest will be working. For whole unit not including installation it cost US670. For cat 6 and other cable you can order online in Lazada.com. In Cavite they deliver it free. Regards
It's Plug & Play easy to connect. My roof, ceiling (outside) & sliding window (aluminum) I ask different contractors to submit a quotation as per my specification. Bidding process is the way to go. It will help you a lot. Mine is a 2 floor house. Anyway, I'm just a slave dreaming to be a king. LOL
Very nice James. Speaking of networking, just a thought about running pfSense on an Atom CPU, maybe even a NAS. Glad you are feeling better, take care.
James maybe your wife could get the network items you need and put them in a balikbayan box and ship to you Over the years we have shipped around 50 of the boxes here and never lost anything. Our shipper in the US even comes to the house and picks them up, so its door to door probably save enough to pay shipping too. We shipped super heavy items to like a 10" table saw and a 6" jointer! some boxes required 4 men to pick up?
Hi James, I've been watching from the beginning and I really enjoy your daily updates - thanks very much for the dedication! Until now I've been a sponge, soaking up all the detailed info you cover, but now you're getting into my area of expertise (15+ years Network Engineering/Support) and I'd like to ask a couple of questions and offer some advice. 1) Is there any particular reason you're going with CAT6 over CAT5e? CAT6 cabling and equipment (patch panels, wall jacks/plates, etc...) is so much more expensive than CAT5e. Unless you're going for 10Gbps (your computer/TV/etc.. will have to support 10Gbps - 99.9% don't out-of-the-box), CAT5e is more than capable of pushing 1Gbps via cable lengths of up to 100 meters (300 ft). 2) With a managed switch, are you going to be using any advanced networking features, such as vLANs, QOS, or other traffic management? If not, I'd highly recommend an un-managed switch since a managed switch is much much more expensive than an un-managed switch. With an un-managed switch, you won't have packet collisions as that's what a switchs' main function is - to switch the traffic directly from the source port to the destination port without broadcasting over all the ports. Maybe you were thinking of an old network hub? Those things are dumb boxes that just broadcast everything everywhere and that's the main cause of packet collisions. Hope you're feeling better by the time you read this!
Excited and happy for you and Necie. Hope to meet you here in MARYLAND (for some blue crabs ) or at your dream house in Lipa. Be safe.Loving / inspiring from all your videos
Hello James , I'm laughing about your pokwang instead of pakwan. By the way the guy's are very happy for that pakwan you are a very nice to work w/ I' like to watch how you explain everything about building the house.
James - Great video with good networking info. I really appreciate you doing the video, even tho your feeling ill. I know one thing I'm shipping my own cat 6e products. Take care and keep up the good vlogs. I hope you get well soon.
Good day Sir James.. you can try searching at OLX.ph or Lazada for your cat6 cable needs, maybe some seller there can do meetups or cash on delivery.. I also want to suggest you do a weekly LIVE UA-cam broadcast, like Q&A and stuffs... More power, Godbless! 😀
Lazada has 100m but only one manufacture that I could find. OLX has several but I'm not familiar how to use OLX at the moment. I want to do a LiveCAST but my portable pocket wifi won't support the bandwidth needed for a successful event. Maybe sometime from here in the apartment. We think alike! 👍🏼
James, LOL Caught Roy getting his morning nap in! Oh boy, you referenced my TV crush before from TFC when you mentioned the watermelon as Pok Wang. She was a regular on Wowowee! Just 5 minutes in and I have got a good laugh so far. You lost me a little bit in the "technical" connection talk. But I loved seeing the beams going and and being correctly done. Great to hear that you have finally gotten rid of those Paula Abdul songs and back on track with the country toe tappin music. We will wait to see if you get in that two step mode yet tomorrow or not. You sounded a lot better tonight. Hopefully you will get some good rest and feel a lot better tomorrow.
Poor James. LOL I have a terrible time myself with Tagalog so I should not laugh. Speaking or writing it I am not that great. When in Kuwait, we had TFC. It was our only channel for a few years. I would get off work and come home to Wowowee being on TV. I know Pok Wang has been in more than that show, but that is where I know her from best. I might not have understood all she had to say, but she could still make me laugh.
HI James, just a question on the internet for you as my house will be finished next year. Did you check with the providers and what they will be able to give you for speed and or a DSL line? I have heard so much about bad speeds that I worry the house will be slow
James, I don't mean to add fuel to the fire, but as my formal training, as an engineer going for my design degree. we had to pass residential electricity and manufacturing electrical understanding, ok to the point, do they have AFI's (Arc Fault Interrupters) there. they are for the soul purpose of preventing fire or wire burn out. AFI's are like GFCI's and do close to the same function except the are slow blow on a thermal sensor instead of the just high volt or Amp. let me know, and if you find them i would suggest you incorporate them. BTW, I was raised in a seismic active area also{ L.A. California). yours truly. John w Rodgers, AKA. wolfen4966
John, I just finished reading some requirements in the Philippine Electrical Code (PEC) and it references Arc-Fault Circuit Interrupters. Sounds like the AFCI is the same as your AFI. If this is the case, as of Jan 2014, the PEC requires use of the AFCI in certain rooms in dwellings. I answered your question in a BKT segment today but then I started reading the PEC later on which joggled my memory of your comment. Arc-Fault Circuit Interrupter. An arc-fault circuit interrupter is a device intended to provide protection from the effects of arc faults by recognizing characteristics unique to arcing and by functioning to de-energize the circuit when an arc fault is detected.
Chickens are LOUD! Dang! Even though you live right next door - I know why you're up at the crack of dawn, and I watch you while you're doing you're next episode. Tell Tess the rice and Chicken, one for me! :)
My bad, forgot to mention Roy, Roy i believe you are destined for utube stardom...nothing wrong with catching a few zzzds.... just don't get caught on video, but alas...........
Hi James Nice to see how quickly the guys learned the correct rebar approach, all too frequenty i see videos which unfairly imply filipinos are not very clever (trying to be diplomatic to those other vloggers). I think that they are very resourceful clever and hard working so thanks for showcasing that. Lack of training should never be mistaken for stupid😇 On a separate note how are you going to manage the seperation of parallel runs of power and data cables, maybe the short runs render interference insignificant? I would be tempted to run a hard line out to the the bahay kubo but thats just me😁 Hope you are feeling better
How are you handling all these changes to specifications on a fixed bid project? Are you doing Change Orders with your builder for all the changes to the original drawings? Also, not a good idea to run CAT 6 cabling in the same conduit as your electric, unless you are going to use shielded CAT 6 cabling...
We have a BOM with detailed materials list. Any changes I'll pay the additional cost if any, or it will be deducted from the BOM if less. All CAT6 all be run independently of electrical. Don't want any noise on my data stream! 😳 Thanks!
Have it prewired and then have your wife send it to you in a balikbayan box. I'm sure you'll be sending other things from the states. Just have her include it with the other items. The only thing is the RG59 cables are bulkier. I did a system last year doing the RG. Most people don't want to spend the extra money on the IP system.
I am with Philip, because your a network engineer it should be very easy to making a camera vlan or isolating on another PoE switch outer and go PoE Digital IP cameras. The key advances are options (mix with any vendor, great quality options, 4k if you like), your DVR\NAS can be located anywhere (you cable), much easier to do stuff like backup your DVR\NAS to another hidden location, and other customization. Most analogs system are basic and limited, the DVR recorder will probably have to be located in that network closet that thousands of people already know about.
I stopped by but they charge a huge amount by the meter. The 100m boxes I found online are around P1,500-P4,500 for the box. Lazada has it, but only one brand.
We follow common structural practices. If splices are needed due to building material limitations, they're done by code. Basically, for beams, the lower splices are allowed near the columns, never the center. The top splices are allowed in the center, never in the proximity of the column. I explain the steel reinforcement methods in earlier episodes.
Good day sir new subscriber here. Just wanna ask the distance between each column and the size oF your column and beam? Hope to get a feed back from you..TIA
You didn't say which beam/column. There are different distances for different parts of the house. Most are between 3.3m to 5m. Thanks for being new sub! 👍
curious about how the fixed contract price your contractor offered you.. When he bid (or agreed) to the price, did that include all the changes and the western way of doing things? I assume he made the agreement based on PH standards and PH building assumptions. I image the cost difference between the two prices are extreme.
Any changes in building materials (higher than in the BOM) or additional requirements not stated in the contract I will have to assume the additional costs.
@boyd my only concern was the cost difference between East-West building practices. What the contractor bids is based on the assumption of doing something as per regional guidelines which COULD be extremely different based on where you compare it to in the world. I personally would hate to put in a bid only to find out later the client wants things done "3 fold" above and beyond then what was assumed as per normal.
Have you heard of the WiFi Mesh Network Systems that are part of the new crop of products ? Here is a link o the PCMag article: www.pcmag.com/roundup/350795/
James - I found a couple of web sites for computer networking supplies: (1) www.MEC.PH (2) WWW.SIANIC.COM.PH (3)WWW. TP-LINK.COM.PH . GOOD LUCK LETS KNOW IF YOU FIND A GOOOD SOURCE OF MATERIALS. OH BY THE WAY IF I SEND YOU MY REQUIREMENTS WILL YOU DEVELOP A TECH SOLUTION AND A LOM???? lol!!! Have great day.
WOW Kuya James, I noticed you are wearing a counter-culture "da kine" t-shirt. Did you pick it out to celebrate 420 day??? LOL ---- Com'on Mon. Me tinks u r a closet stoner. Now I know why you are coughing so much. HAHAHAHAHA
Sorry to disappoint. Combined 35 years active duty and government contractor I stayed away from all that craziness. Now I'm too old to even remember what all that hoopla was in the '70s...😉
I have a bottle of Champagne to celebrate the completion of this project and all the hard work you and your crew are doing. Its wonderful and educational. I will be watching it till the BITTER end.

Best Video on splicing rebar to the end of the columns and the splicing rebar into the Beams. Great Video's !! Planning to build home in Leyte,PI !!!
General suggestion James. Have you thought about changing up your intro just to keep things fresh? Remember you still have 250+ episodes to go. Central content is still great. Can't wait to see the first floor poured!
Creature of habit my friend! 😉

Very good informative info on the Internet cable routing ... Thanks James, love all your videos. Very very helpfull .
Glad you're finding value in the videos. Thanks for the kind words Rosendo!
thank James for your great videos will definitely help when me and my wife build next year
Any time my friend! Good luck with your plans and build!
Thank you. I can't wait to see you house completed and for my philippine journey to start in Oct.
Hi James, I've been watching from the beginning and I really enjoy your daily updates - thanks very much for the dedication!
Until now I've been a sponge, soaking up all the detailed info you cover, but now you're getting into my area of expertise (15+ years Network Engineering/Support) and I'd like to ask a couple of questions and offer some advice.
1) Is there any particular reason you're going with CAT6 over CAT5e?
CAT6 cabling and equipment (patch panels, wall jacks/plates, etc...) is so much more expensive than CAT5e.

Great seafood there in Maryland. I used to go to CJ's all the time with my friends. 👍🏼
Nice information James, thanks
Hello James , I'm laughing about your pokwang instead of pakwan. By the way the guy's are very happy for that pakwan you are a very nice to work w/ I' like to watch how you explain everything about building the house.

Lazada has 100m but only one manufacture that I could find. OLX has several but I'm not familiar how to use OLX at the moment.
I want to do a LiveCAST but my portable pocket wifi won't support the bandwidth needed for a successful event. Maybe sometime from here in the apartment.
We think alike! 👍🏼
P.S. I was one of your first 500 viewers lol, therefore structural design to build is my passion.
James,
LOL Caught Roy getting his morning nap in!
Oh boy, you referenced my TV crush before from TFC when you mentioned the watermelon as Pok Wang. She was a regular on Wowowee! Just 5 minutes in and I have got a good laugh so far.
You lost me a little bit in the "technical" connection talk. But I loved seeing the beams going and and being correctly done. Great to hear that you have finally gotten rid of those Paula Abdul songs and back on track with the country toe tappin music. We will wait to see if you get in that two step mode yet tomorrow or not.
You sounded a lot better tonight. Hopefully you will get some good rest and feel a lot better tomorrow.
Poor James. LOL I have a terrible time myself with Tagalog so I should not laugh. Speaking or writing it I am not that great.
When in Kuwait, we had TFC. It was our only channel for a few years. I would get off work and come home to Wowowee being on TV. I know Pok Wang has been in more than that show, but that is where I know her from best. I might not have understood all she had to say, but she could still make me laugh.
HI James, just a question on the internet for you as my house will be finished next year. Did you check with the providers and what they will be able to give you for speed and or a DSL line? I have heard so much about bad speeds that I worry the house will be slow
James, I don't mean to add fuel to the fire, but as my formal training, as an engineer going for my design degree. we had to pass residential electricity and manufacturing electrical understanding, ok to the point, do they have AFI's (Arc Fault Interrupters) there. they are for the soul purpose of preventing fire or wire burn out. AFI's are like GFCI's and do close to the same function except the are slow blow on a thermal sensor instead of the just high volt or Amp. let me know, and if you find them i would suggest you incorporate them. BTW, I was raised in a seismic active area also{ L.A. California). yours truly. John w Rodgers, AKA. wolfen4966

Chickens are LOUD! Dang! Even though you live right next door - I know why you're up at the crack of dawn, and I watch you while you're doing you're next episode. Tell Tess the rice and Chicken, one for me! :)
You got it Tex! Keep your boots dry! 😁
Put the pakwan in your cooler James, it is much better to eat the pakwan cold...
My bad, forgot to mention Roy,
Roy i believe you are destined for utube stardom...nothing wrong with catching a few zzzds....
just don't get caught on video, but alas...........
Nice video godbless you
Thanks Mariya!
Does any neighbour have Fibre connection already or are you just preparing for a remote future ? Real fiber or some kind of wireless fiber system?
There's fiber inside the subdivision. Not in my phase, but in the first phase. Real fiber.
What's up with all the Oakley gear ?
Hey James,
Love your videos man!
Are you planning to weld those steels at the bottom of your beam? or are you gonna leave it as it is?
Bar,
No welding. As is. Some stirrups are using 135 closed loops though.
Glad you're enjoying the episodes.
Hi James
Nice to see how quickly the guys learned the correct rebar approach, all too frequenty i see videos which unfairly imply filipinos are not very clever (trying to be diplomatic to those other vloggers). I think that they are very resourceful clever and hard working so thanks for showcasing that. Lack of training should never be mistaken for stupid😇
On a separate note how are you going to manage the seperation of parallel runs of power and data cables, maybe the short runs render interference insignificant?
I would be tempted to run a hard line out to the the bahay kubo but thats just me😁
Hope you are feeling better
Yeah!
MY PI DREAM GOLD STAR OF THE DAY FOR FIRST VIEWER! ⭐️
How are you handling all these changes to specifications on a fixed bid project? Are you doing Change Orders with your builder for all the changes to the original drawings?
Also, not a good idea to run CAT 6 cabling in the same conduit as your electric, unless you are going to use shielded CAT 6 cabling...
We have a BOM with detailed materials list. Any changes I'll pay the additional cost if any, or it will be deducted from the BOM if less.
All CAT6 all be run independently of electrical. Don't want any noise on my data stream! 😳
Thanks!
Another thing you may consider when running your Cat 6 wiring is security cameras. The best security cameras use POE.
That's also an option, but most of the camera systems I've seen over here run on RG.
Have it prewired and then have your wife send it to you in a balikbayan box. I'm sure you'll be sending other things from the states. Just have her include it with the other items. The only thing is the RG59 cables are bulkier. I did a system last year doing the RG. Most people don't want to spend the extra money on the IP system.
I am with Philip, because your a network engineer it should be very easy to making a camera vlan or isolating on another PoE switch
outer and go PoE Digital IP cameras. The key advances are options (mix with any vendor, great quality options, 4k if you like), your DVR\NAS can be located anywhere (you cable), much easier to do stuff like backup your DVR\NAS to another hidden location, and other customization. Most analogs system are basic and limited, the DVR recorder will probably have to be located in that network closet that thousands of people already know about.
Did u try computer shop outlets in SM and Robinson malls for your networking wires?
I stopped by but they charge a huge amount by the meter. The 100m boxes I found online are around P1,500-P4,500 for the box. Lazada has it, but only one brand.
Had been nice to see ur wall plan for basement.
What wall plan? I didn't have a basement until a few days before we broke ground. 😳
i was wondering if you have interial walls in basement and where it goes.
hi James, are the beam tension bars doesn't any splices?
We follow common structural practices. If splices are needed due to building material limitations, they're done by code. Basically, for beams, the lower splices are allowed near the columns, never the center. The top splices are allowed in the center, never in the proximity of the column. I explain the steel reinforcement methods in earlier episodes.
2 videos today James your internet was be working pretty good
50Mbps baby! 👍🏼
James, not pokwang but pakwan. Lol..thanks for the videos.
Yep...I think my spell correct did me in 😳
Good day sir new subscriber here.
Just wanna ask the distance between each column and the size oF your column and beam?
Hope to get a feed back from you..TIA
You didn't say which beam/column. There are different distances for different parts of the house. Most are between 3.3m to 5m.
Thanks for being new sub! 👍
curious about how the fixed contract price your contractor offered you.. When he bid (or agreed) to the price, did that include all the changes and the western way of doing things? I assume he made the agreement based on PH standards and PH building assumptions. I image the cost difference between the two prices are extreme.
Any changes in building materials (higher than in the BOM) or additional requirements not stated in the contract I will have to assume the additional costs.
@Boyd What makes you feel this way?
@boyd my only concern was the cost difference between East-West building practices. What the contractor bids is based on the assumption of doing something as per regional guidelines which COULD be extremely different based on where you compare it to in the world. I personally would hate to put in a bid only to find out later the client wants things done "3 fold" above and beyond then what was assumed as per normal.
