Just a thought…why not invest in 1 more 1500 liter tank and run the T from the gutter section to that 3rd tank only, thereby maintaining the integrity of municipal water only in the other 2. Love your continual upgrades/improvements. WTG!
If I did that the rain water would just sit in there as I don't want to use it. It would also grow mold quickly, just sitting there. We would only open the valve if the municipal water stops. If the municipal water keeps flowing, we won't ever trap rain water.

Glad that all of the projects fell into place! I have to head to the building supply store tomorrow. I need to get mirrors for all 3 baths, maybe towel racks? Our bathrooms are pretty stripped. I also need to find a plumber to install a heater in the common bath shower. I don't do plumbing well, and afraid of messing something up in this rental house. I'll also be buying shelving for all of the cabinets in the kitchen. We have plenty of cabinets, but hardly any have shelves! 🤔 Since I can't do any of the yard projects, because of the Habagat we're still experiencing in Pampanga, inside projects can get done. Now that my last 6 Balikbayan boxes came, this morning, I have all of the tools here, now! 🥵 So glad you guys didn't get the weather we did, on Luzon! 🌧😲
@@buildingthephilippines So glad we moved to Pampanga! No flooding here in our subdivision. I did a video, yesterday, showing how good the drainage is here! Our condo in Pasig, however, got an indoor swimming pool when the underground parking flooded! Good thing we left and came home to Pampanga Sunday night!
As a alternative source of water, one possible option to take is to have a water well by driving g.i. pipes to the ground adjacent to your pump.You can then have it connected with a control valve for which you can open for potable water from the ground to fill your tank. Try some due diligence by exploring neighboring areas, to give you some data as to the efficient depth required for water to be sourced. A well can guarantee supply 24/7 even without power if connected to a manual pump along with it.
Digging a well in this immediate area is a 50/50 proposition. Chance of sulfur water, and you need to dig 300 meters to find a good source of water. There's 2 well drillers in this area and they say don't do it. Again, where we are located.

@Ray_Warren yes, iron comes from surface rocks IE: rivers or streams. Spring water comes out of the earth in reservoirs. You can drink the water here. You can test it by putting water in a glass, put teaspoon of chlorine and see if there's a reaction.
@Ray_Warren no, we buy the 5 gallon jugs. All the workers do and the locals. Our workers are mostly from Valencia, they say they can drink our water but not their own in Valencia. Some sources are better then others.
You did great with the Bisaya language! Barato and tubig. Tubig is also Tagalog. Your pronunciation was very good. I think it is important to learn some of the local dialects. My wife and I hope to retire near Mindanao in a few years and I have been studying Tagalog since the 80’s informally. Lately I have been trying to pick up some Davao style Bisaya from UA-cam. I like hearing people try.
Looking so good !!! And I know you’ll keep your property immaculate ❤ no sense having a beautiful property and ruin it by leaving clutter everywhere, I’ve seen it 😅
one thing i always notice in your videos... no kids. It doesn't need to be yours, but a pool needs to be full of kids. That and parties... Philippine's love parties, birthdays, or just anything.
Love your house Well done Ive owned 2 Dobbys Building a house in the pi Mindinao across fro OZM Wife and i want a dobby pup Available down there? Thanks!! Enjoying your videos Cocoa FL

Bought the latex before too, very thin. Acrylic is the way to go. Keep up the good work. Thanks, Wilma and Greg...Jim
Trial and error, that's all part of it. I'm crossing my fingers.
Sitting here at home on the couch with my Doberman enjoying your videos 😄✌️

I told my Filipina wife that we would get a Dobby pup when we build our house
Where can we get one in Mind?
Thank you!!

There's a breeder in Valencia, Negros Oriental.
Good advice.
I love seeing you both making these improvements. We would love to see it as time permits.
Yes, once the dirty kitchen is complete, we will have you guys up.
When something doesn’t work out as planned… remember this day 👍🏻👏🏻
Yes, that's a good way of looking at it.
I love watching you guys!
Thank you

@jerrymarshall2728 I have been watching the news. Lots of flooding your way. Good all boxes arrived, projects never end.

@jerrymarshall2728 good choice to move just in time.
the tile job looks good you two very nice

I know, I believe we are limited to roof water in extreme water shortages. Thanks for commenting.
Try the high heat exhaust paint if it is available there. It will last longer with the laser beam. Nice work Guys😊
Thanks for the suggestion, appreciate it.
Nice video
@coco19661 thank you
Continued success!
Steady progress, moving forward a little at a time. Thanks for watching.
We are actually planning on collecting rainwater into tanks. Probably better than the municipal which also turned Finn’s pool blood red.
@@Ray_Warren we are on different water lines.
@@buildingthephilippines so is it a different source??
@Ray_Warren yes, iron comes from surface rocks IE: rivers or streams. Spring water comes out of the earth in reservoirs. You can drink the water here. You can test it by putting water in a glass, put teaspoon of chlorine and see if there's a reaction.
@@buildingthephilippines You drink the water?

POR 15 Rust coating works wonders!! Not sure if you can get that back there but that's what I've been using with the snow and salt here in Chicago.
There's a type of rust inhibitor here, but just a local brand. Very limited with selection here.
@@buildingthephilippines Amazon!
Nice job. By the way, how many lites are your water tanks? Cheers!
Each tank is 1500 liters.
What? Delivery in a couple of hours? Awesome!!
@@Ray_Warren We have used them quite a bit. Fast service and fair prices.

Lol, I do try taking in bisaya. I'm getting up more a little at a time. Thanks for watching.
@@buildingthephilippines After having a second Filipina Wife, I should be fluent in Tagalog 😂🤣
I'm still learning 🙃
Looking so good !!! And I know you’ll keep your property immaculate ❤ no sense having a beautiful property and ruin it by leaving clutter everywhere, I’ve seen it 😅
Wilma and I dislike clutter. Always looking to thin things out.
Hi Wilma and Greg. Did you purchase your truck new or preowned and can you tell me how much? Thank you, don't mean to bug you. Love your videos.
Thank you, we purchased new in 2021 for 1.15 m. Now same truck is 1.4 to 1.5m.
Try oven paint should last a long time
@franklyszkiewicz8904 thanks for the suggestion
You need to make the paint says that its UV stable
@wanabetruckerdave3776 I'm sure it does, need to check.
Just curious if it would be better to have your AC units under an overhang to protect?
No, actually, the air con guys said the units that were outside were clean, and the ones under the overhang were pretty dusty/dirty.
did you use any kind of stabiliser on your boundary well before you painted it ?
No, not on the wall. Waited 30 days before painting.
one thing i always notice in your videos... no kids. It doesn't need to be yours, but a pool needs to be full of kids. That and parties... Philippine's love parties, birthdays, or just anything.
We have had many get together here. All our friends are of retirement age, very few have children. However, a few do and have enjoyed swimming.
Love your house
Well done

Thanks for watching. Congrats on your house in Mindanao. Enjoy.
You’ll never be done! 😂😂
Very true, always looking to do things and keep busy.
OK, dumb question here- why do you not want rain water? because dirt/debris from roof or? Thank you and house is awesome!
@@daysoff4ever yes, dirt, leaves, bird poop etc.
