To all Subscribers: This is Rich, Elma's husband. We've kept all expenses on an excel spreadsheet and I will share with anyone that wants the breakdown. We are around $38k spent so far and will probably finish around $75 when it's done. That doesn't include the lot. I've estimated the future costs into my spreadsheet. Cost will be under 20,000 per sq meter. House is about 260 sq meters. 60 on 1st floor, 100 on both 2nd and 3rd. Not trying to impress anyone, just showing that an American can build their own house with a wonderful foreman and great Filipino workers. Expats and my Friends in America are so negative. I'm a retired executive who has a little construction experience. I just tell the nay sayers to "get out of my way, while I do this. Negative attitudes are not allowed here. I didn't come to watch on the sidelines, I came to Play." No issues, and we are two months away from being done, hopefully.
