Lalo pang gaganda yung liquor cabinet kung madagdagan pa ng single malt! Thanks bro!

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.

Congrats on your new house! I can relate with you the hassle of building a new home during this pandemic.

Sourcing the building materials (tiles, bathroom materials, door knob, cabinets handles, lights housing indoor/outdoor, etc) is a challenged due to supply. Some would not have enough inventory and you have to go thru a different supplier. We custom made all the doors and roofings, it requires longer leadtime due to restriction on their worker.

Its an experience but well worth it.

Yes. Building a home for your family to live in is a super exciting, stressful, expensive and fulfilling experience at the same time.

Me and my wife are arguing about space planning for example. I like future proofing but she likes downsizing. Have to meet halfway.

And all the instagram and pinterest pictures and youtube videos just cloud your head with ideas. Hehe. Gotta learn to let the architect do his/her thing. Gotta let go of some snazzy ideas that we saw and let the realities of lot sizes, shape, elevation, slope, technology, construction materiald and methods, and budget take over.

How do we depreciate a house pala? According to google, in the US, it's 3.6% per annum or fully depreciated in 27.5 years. It just crossed my mind earlier because I wondered if I depreciated today's cost to build a modest 2 storey house of 25k/sqm, how my selling price compared. Actually, I priced my house at lot x zonal value + floor area x 10k/sqm. The house was 19 years old.

Can anyone tell me what's the flooring they used for the kitchen, dining and bedroom Why why why! The master T/B is fugly with those tiles, even the design is so weird I am also puzzled why they have to build on different levels, ang awkward tuloy ng stairs. I am wondering if an architect really designed this?

Also, why do they allow this, yung nakasagad yung structure ng bahay sa lot? There should be space all around the structure

is the floor wood parquet?
can't say, as there does not seem to be any interest in showing it off.
but i agree. it does not strike me as a good choice design. i would have chosen a plain solid color design.

different level floor. not adult- or child- or PWD-friendly. i would have liked one level only.

i like the stairs. hindi mataas ang step height. easier to traverse.

sagad-ing the house to the lot. probably to maximize the real estate. consult building code first, however.

The house looks like a renovated old house which is why the layout is awkward. There are plenty of remnants of the original house such as the kitchen and doors.

Some villages allow firewalls without side setbacks.

The entire house looks like a collection of tiles from a clearance sale.

The main door being “tumbok” with the powder room door is a massive turn off.

I like wood parquet, it looks like tiles, ugly at that

The different levels on one floor is so weird talaga

viper888! oh kaya pala! I found it weird when Julia said the kitchen was like something you would see at AD, maybe AD 1980 edition, it looked inconsistent with the design of the house

That's one thing I will make sure if I buy a lot in a new village, yung bawal nakasagad hehe

This literally made me LOL! Yes! hahaha! It's like a mish mash of ugly tiles, magulo sa mata.

Why is the tumbok sa powder room a turn off? Feng Shui? Though pangit nga talaga, like in our home we don't close the bathroom doors when not used so not a good view to see haha

With lot sizes getting smaller, building upto tge perimeter will become the norm na.

Look at Mckinley Hill Village, the ground level dikit dikit na, only the upper level lang ang may setback sa side. And its just about 2m lang, so malapit pa rin sa neighbor mo.

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.

sorry baka medyo dumb question. wala ako idea sa house construction. i understand the idea of a prep and show kitchen pero if circumstances present itself, usually ang show kitchen ba should be a fully functioning kitchen all on its own din?

Yes they're both fully functional kitchens. More intensive cooking happens in the prep kitchen, the maids also use it for their personal use. Its important in an open layout because the cooking smell will be isolated to the prep kitchen. No one will want to cook Binagoongan in their show kitchen.

Its also called the auxiliary kitchen or chef's kitchen. Usually called the dirty kitchen but that has a stigma.

Dito sa village namin, may bagong tayong bahay....

Ang kaso may pickup truck sila na hindi maipasok sa garahe dahil labas ang puwitan...

Hinihintay namin kung ano ang ibebenta, kung iyong pickup truck o iyong bahay...

Pero malamang sa kalye ipaparada, kaya dagdag na naman ito sa problema ng village sa street parking...

Bago ba yun pickup? It came after the house?

If not poor planning yan, kasi you’ll just add a meter lang naman sa carport.

in our opinion,
the show kitchen is a fully functioning kitchen.
but the dirty kitchen outside is where blood and bone splinters fly, un-hindered. to clean it, we would simply hose it down.
it also makes for laundry sink, should the need arise. the laundry-doing also helps keep it clean.
heh heh.

i do not savor the idea of shortening my living room by one meter...
i'd get a shorter vehicle, if i were me.
heh heh.

sa totoo lang,
what is the utility use for a pick-up in the ncr, if one is not in a hakot-sort of business anyway?
at pag nagagalit pa sila.. "why you mad! i'm not the one who chose to drive a land yacht!"

[viper888]

The minimum size for a parking slot is 2.5x5m

A mid-size pickup is 5.3m, an F-150 is 6m

300-500k cheaper than the equivalent PPV while having the same engine, ruggedness, and features, just less seats and a less comfortable ride which many can deal with in exchange for the cheaper price.

Hilux Conquest 4x4 - 1.9M
Fortuner LTD 4x4 - 2.4M

Hilux Conquest 4x2 - 1.5M
Fort V 4x2 - 1.8M

Dmax 4x4 LSE - 1.82M
MUX 4x4 LSE - 2.45M

yes.
we have to thank our nation's decision-makers for this.
they had this opinion that a pick-up is a utility vehicle, and therefore should not be taxed as heavily...
the same decision-makers who decided that diesel fuel should be cheaper than gasoline.

I was in my late 20s na when I learned that not all Filipino homes have a dirty kitchen Pre internet/youtube, konti lang naman mga bahay na nakikita ko ng buo

We don't cook sa kitchen kasi sira the range there for YEARS. Our dirty kitchen has cheaper finishing like it's tiles compared to the main kitchen na marble and the floor is finished concrete (?) Most importantly, the doors and windows are grills para lampasan ang hangin. It's also where fat lab stays during the day
