Best Posts in Thread: House Build

Cletus...saw your posts and answered them, but as things changed over I guess things were lost. I had my cement mixer and another I rented as well as 28 workers just for my roof slab. If you want to send me a PM I will give you my cell # if you want to talk or meet up somewhere...more than happy to give a tour of the house and talk specifics.

I took some pics last night but did not have time to upload them until now. I don't like how the fence looks like completely walled in, but it has made a huge difference when it rains, though it cut down on my airflow a bit.

One of Cherry's uncle and aunt stopped by the house the other day (first time I ever met these 2); long story short, they raise worms for vermicompost and I mentioned that was something I would be interested in at some point. Anyway, they brought a couple kilos to me last night so we are building a worm bin today. A bit of a surprise but was very impressed with the quality of what they brought me.

I talked to a steel guy on Tuesday because I want a experienced steel worker when we do the roof trusses, but he's from Dumaguete and takes care of his 3 kids so he wants to think a bit before letting me know. I get the feeling he is not up for the drive back and forth each day, so I will keep looking.

A few more pics of the nipa guest house

The wife was running back and forth between the sugar cane and the house so she only remembered to take some pics of the Nipa today. Should have some pics of the rebar and starting formwork for the house columns posted tomorrow.
