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.

Horizontal is the new vertical apart from that the project is looking good
Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.

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

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.

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
