The circulation is odd though

You have to go through all the bedrooms before getting to the living and dining

Enclosed garages are also rare here, probably because of snow

Is this floor plan of a house abroad?

Abroad ser, lote ay 10m wide 30m deep

[papi smith]

By my estimate, you still have 10 meters deep of open lot?

Oh, may required 5m front and 5m rear setback kasi.

Tulo ang counter with sink ko, I know I need to scrape the dugtungan before I put sealant, but what sealant kaya maganda and sure fix pangmatagalan? Any suggestions, other than this? Thanks.Attachment 40351Attachment 40352

Kamusta pala ito, okay na?

Naalala ko sa microcracks, puwedeng pangsamantagal iyong paste floor wax. Iyong tig 20 pesos na box na amoy kerosene. Madali ipahid gamit damp cloth. Nakakasiksik sa cracks tapos wax repels water. Dries clear or white.

Thanks Bro Bxr! Subukan ko yan, hindi pa ako lumabas eversince so nilagyan muna namin ng saugwander block to absorb talsik na tubig.

Had a good meeting with the architects. Will have to temper wants vs the reality of budget constraints.

Is it true na MOST Filipino construction laborers are not masipag? I was watching this vlog of an American constructing a house in PH. He was hands on and helping with the construction and while concrete pouring all the laborers took a break because it was 10 am so the cement cured (?) because the American was left alone working Initially, I thought the American was being a slave driver (break time naman talaga 10 am) but when I read the comments almost 100% complained about Filipino constructions workers from both foreigners AND Filipinos. Kapag arawan kasi bayad binabagalan. Kapag pakyawan ewan ko. Pero there was a contractor who said that when concrete pouring they give the workers one day off so when they start concrete pouring tuloy tuloy?

Naisip ko tuloy when they brought in Chinese construction workers here in Manila ang daming nagalit (including me) . Napansin ko lang mga tauhan ngayon hindi na pulido, ibang iba in the 90s and prior to that, kasi yung mga dating gumagawa samin puro nagpass away na

Its known that labourers will need “guidance” from site engineers, otherwise they will be unproductive. I wouldn't know how they compare with foreign labourers.

Pwedeng sabihin na tamad, lalo na pag underpaid ang pinoy laborers. Tapos nalaman pa na malaki kita ng contractor. On the side, iba na kasi millennial workers now puro socmed nasa utak.[emoji16]
When it comes to break time kasalanan ng nagmamando yan kung iniwan sya ng mga trabahante. Very basic manpower arrangement hindi nya nagawa at alam nyang titigasan sya ng semento.[emoji6]

They will find an excuse on smaller projects to delay work as they are paid a daily rate.

The contractor loses money on this hence needs a really good foreman. Have experiencrd this often enough.

I kinda dont blame em. They live literally day to day.

Gave a suggestion to the architect. Hope it can be implemented (prep kitchen connected but semi hidden from the show kitchen).

Never wanted a prep kitchen but since its open plan... Probably will need one for the more savory cooking [emoji16]

Building a house during the pandemic is a stressful experience. Sobrang delayed yung project Tapos Dami pa back job. We moved in just before the new year of 2022 since liveable na yung bahay pero dami pa aayusin.

Prep Kitchens are recommended for open layout living/dining/kitchen. I would usually suggest to put it in the service area, directly accessible to the main kitchen through a service stair with a door if the service area is on another level. The door becomes the interior access between the service area and formal areas.

Same situation, March 2020, cleaning up na and contractor and I was starting the checklist, biglang nag lockdown. It was already October, when I finally finished all requirements to move in, but like yours, daminh ayusin, for one, we can only use one toilet because the other was leaking, and yes, the walls too were leaking. Until now we need to install canopies, built-in cabinets and a cat house pa.

Based on experience, it's "guidance" from the foreman, who is basically a foreman cum sub-contractor of the contractor. The contractor acts mainly as a middle man and purchaser. The result is poor quality as the foreman tries to squeeze more money by scrimping on materials.

Some high end construction companies that do finishing works would do away with the entire foreman concept and instead hire full time engineers on site. The ratio can be as high as 1 site engineer per 10-20 workers. There is still a foreman, but his job is closer to being a representative of the workers.

Our contractor is at 5/33, because the village is limiting the number of workers per project.
