    Darrell is nothing short of amazing; been following him about 1/2 a year now. he shows what's possible if you think things out and use your resources.

    It is a therapy for him. He made the calculation for three years all he intended to spend on how much it will cost him until his lease ended. The man is not bored, I followed his channel before he started renovating this house. I watched every one of his videos. I said this has made him rejoice in his life and be a happy man . This is a positive person that I can see myself around, we find solutions and make things work for us.

      @@Impeach44 he can help you. You can rent his couch and pay for food and get advice until you get your bearings. You can live inexpensively with him until you are comfortable in the country. He can introduce you to one of his hundred girlfriends, all beauty pageant winners, and he can caution you if he sees you wandering into a money pit. Reward him generously. He's worth his weight in gold,,, well not HIS weight,,, hey,, as regular guy would say, "It's just an expression".

      I feel the same way about grocery shopping, hate it.
      But traveling is no problem. I really enjoy the unknown.
      My last trip I decided to go for a walk. 11 miles later I was back at the room. It was so much fun seeing the weirdness of a simple walk.
      Still hate grocery shopping 😄

    Darrell has made progress since we were at his house in July! But I knew his plans. He also ripped out his Ocra and Eggplant garden? 😲
    I hope you guys are enjoying my home province of Pampanga?

    I think the owner is going to see how nice the place is after all the renovations and they’ll change their mind about tearing it down. As cheap as his rent is even with all the spending, I wouldn’t even bother taking the stove or anything else with me. I would just walk away. Too bad the lot wasn’t just a little bit bigger. They could build their McMansion and use the remodeled older home as a rental property. They should actually look into another piece of property in that neighborhood if anything becomes available. It would be ashamed to tear all this apart. It’s really comfortable cool little spot he’s created. I love it.

    Hey Mike, I'm a little confused. I watch your channel and a few other peoples channels and all of you and the others talk about how friendly the Filipinos are, how nice they are and how the crime rate is low. Yet, just about every time you show a house, they always have bars on the windows and doors. If they have a wall they have broken glass along the top of it plus in some cases they have barbwire around the wall. Just about everywhere where you walk, in the back ground you see a lot of armed police officers walking around with assult weapons. What gives?
