Our new home

[stevewool]

As you can see, the downstairs is coming on grand, the shower room being tiled and the walls are getting there first coat. The roof well, that's being poured soon too, but all in all it's going up fine!
Windows are being made on site soon.

Steve.. MAKE SURE they add Sahara water proofer to the roof slab mix..
Those roof slabs do become porous after a couple of years without it and all those lovely hanging ceilings of yours will have to be replaced.

Thanks Fred; will tell Em's dad he must insist on this!

[Arthur Little]

[stevewool]

Steve, which way are you having the light switches fitted, local or UK?...

I have no idea what locals are, sideways?

[stevewool]

Thanks boys. Yes, coming on grand. In fact its costing lots of grand too

[grahamw48]

Looking very smart Steve.

[Longweekend]

Steve, we switch the lights on with a downward movement, native style seems to be upward....

[stevewool]

WOW, there is something wrong then, ours goes sideways!

[Tawi2]

Horizontal is the new vertical apart from that the project is looking good

[fred]

WOW, there is something wrong then, ours goes sideways!

In the UK we turn off the light.
In the R.P we close them.
Its all very technical.

[stevewool]

You are awake very early Fred, or up very late

[fred]

You are awake very early Fred, or up very late

Went to bed very early..Woke up early..
Going back to bed any minute now..Just got to finish the cold one Longweekend told me to have.

[Terpe]

WOW, there is something wrong then, ours goes sideways!

All of ours are 'side-ways' too
Same all over the village

Nothing to worry about at all

It's a wonderful transformation Steve, very stylish

Great Pics Steve, and things seem to be flying along, very nice for us guys that maybe want to go down this route, wont let me give you anymore reps, says i have to spread them around..

[stevewool]

thanks again boys for your nice comments, the price is going up but still manageable ,
I tried to work out all the cost but there is always something you forgot or did not order enough off, but its not breaking the bank just yet

[chippy]

Looks great Steve! Would love to know the final cost of land and the build - just in case I decide to build out there - but then again, I get homesick the first week of being in Cebu.

[tiger31]

Well done Steve, it,s looking good so far. You seem to have good tradesmen on the job, that,s for sure.

Latest news,
Just spoke to the foreman Roland and all is well, he recons it will be around another 3 weeks before its all done , so it has over run by that time, but it was a fixed price and the fee is still the same, he just wants it all done properly in his words .
Down stairs has been finish on the inside, all windows are in tiles too,
They are starting to take down all the supports from the roof and the roof deck , the outside walls are to be skimmed and painted ,
We are both so pleased we found someone who knows what they are doing and the charges are good too,
More pictures to follow soon
