    Kaya house planning and construction, magplano ng tamang garahe!
    I don't mind. Eyesore na nila sa bahay nila, at least hindi naka park sa kalye. When I'm having my car paaraw, I parallel park in that portion in red para hindi sa kalye. Minsan lang naman [emoji14] I learned that from SO when I'm lazy to park my car inside their garage

    Food grade SS must be expensive i guess.


    I did tried the concept of raw cement sa bathroom and kitchen sa haus sa province last year. Flooring and the wall with window lang ang tiles, wall with the mirror and the back of it are raw cement with sealer.

    Heater for sink and shower hidden under the sink.

    Medyo di ok pag picture.

Nakakahiya magtanong hehe.
    the last time i went to tondo, years ago,
    i saw this house which had a city lamp post in the middle of its sala.
    the owner extended his house onto the sidewalk where the lamp post was standing on.
    Libreng ilaw sa gabi!

    here in our barangay naman,
    many of the houses had converted their garahes into living space. it's so obvious, because the gate is still there.
    they park their cars outside on the road.

    stainless steel is a popular material for industry, because they require very little care.
    they also remind me of the horsepital morgue.
    utterly lacking in soul.
    heh heh.

    what i like for my kitchen sink, is the old northern hill type porcelain sink with metal backing.
    alas, they do not appear to make them for homes nowadays.
    our current porcelain sink needs replacement, but i have resisted so, because the only affordable replacements i can get, are stainless steel.
    pag stainless kasi, the room gets kinda... darker.

    ngayon pandemic and sa new normaL magbabago sa taste size bahay.

    Paano ka matutuwa sa townhouse na 100sqm Lote tapos 300sqm fLoor pero Limang kwarto pang hobbit. Pero meron mas worst, naawa ako sa titira sa 70sqm tapos fLoor area 180. Natawa ako sa Liit ng master bedroom. Pabagsak standard.

    Pag sinabi master bedroom dapat may dining area kasama sa kwarto, may functionaL terrace(not santopapa) It wiLL be the new normaL pag WFH.

    No more kaLapati homes.

    Most of us live in Metro Manila, one of densest metropolitan areas in the world.

    Houses on small lots in good areas is already a luxury for many.

    Just look at the price for a townhouse in New Manila/Greenhills/Cubao

    Are there really architects that allow clients to design their house and they will just draw it? I am watching a youtuber kasi, American building his house here in the PH, he was a laborer sa US, pero feeling engineer/architect

    viewer: I just want to ask you guys who designed your house? Did you get an architect to design it? I know Papa Richard used to work in a construction company back here in the US. And he is the one doing some of the work.

    youtuber:The design was a collaborative effort between wife and I. All we did was have architect draw up structural and electrical components. And still he messed that up and living room

    wow ha! Mas magaling pa sa Architect lol

    my hand-me-down house from my parents,
    was designed by my father + the experienced senior carpenter. hey! he wasn't even an architect. neither of them had formal training. "oido and gut feeling lang".
    i do not know about today, but back in the day, city hall didn't require expertise documentation...

    Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

    What you may think looks nice may not be the same for your architect. And these architects are proud of their profession. Pag palagay nya hindi maganda yung design ng client, definitely ipipilit nya yung gusto nya. Syempre pag may bumisita sa bahay nung client later on, definitely mag ask yung bisita who's the architect. Mag reflect agad yung design ng house sa architect, be it good or bad.

    Its pretty common

    A license doesn’t mean that he/she can design properly.

    of course meron. baka nga yung iba eh pumipirma na lang...yung engineer contractor na lang ang bahala sa lahat.

    TBH, I prefer consulting engineers for structural integrity...

    well,
    it would probably depend on the actual sizes of the items.

    If I had money, I would buy a big lot, build a decent size bungalow with a huge garden for my pets to roam.
