Looking Good

Our latest visit showed that our Dipolog house and lot are proceeding fine with an estimated completion date at end of first week of January. All the doors and windows are now in place and the upstairs is virtually complete apart from cupboard fronts,bath screen.hot water supply and a couple of electrical fitting.

We met with the owners of Mediatrix homes, to finalise the final details which includes the fitting of the guttering which is in transit. We also requested an estimate for two walls and gate. we would like to build up the garden to the original height so need to have the top soil that was originally removed returned so we can organise landscaping of the garden after we have moved in.

We have also ordered a built in oven which will need a cabinet building in the dirty kitchen as we want to have the oven at eye level. This will be delivered along with other items that we have ordered from Emcom, one of the best sources of equipment in the southern Philippines

We are now starting to plan our move and will make a further visit on 5th January with the idea of moving on the Moon of the New year, Monday the 9th.

Still Slow Progress

As the year draws to a close it is evident that the workers are eyeing the holiday season as very little progress is being made. One of the holdups is with the Guttering which was promised for last week but now is expected to arrive next week. This has delayed the outside painting.

Door frames are being painted, so the inside is slowly taking shape. Master bedroom bathroom and communal bathroom tiling is completed. Powder room is virtually finished apart from shower, not sure on where hot water supply comes from and notice that light switches are inside bathrooms, which can be a cause of electrocution and is banned in UK, but of course we are in the Philippines where health and safety have little bearing on the matters.

Whilst we were in Dipolog we choose the various light fitting, it was a bit chaotic not knowing exactly where the fitting would be placed as we did not have the lighting plan with us, so we will be in for a surprise on our next visit to our Dipolog house and Lot for Sale.

We have now been promised a date in January for completion, so can now start sourcing furniture in the year end sales, so long as the shops are prepared to store it until our house is complete.

Slow Progress

The optimism from out last visit to out Dipolog House and lot for sale has disappeared, with very little progress from out last visit. Room painting is underway, however the Rain gutters have not been delivered and are not due for another week, this will result in missing our December deadline.

Jasmin and I had some discussion on the window tinting, I would have preferred a light blue colour to enhance the the colour of the skies but Jasmin wanted a darker grey to provide more privacy. we also need to contact the architect to design and provide a costing for fence/walls on the two open sides of our property.

So many items unfinished means it is difficult to see real progress so we will do not plan to visit again for a couple of weeks. We still have some issues on fittings which were ordered as part of the contract and regret that Mediatrix homes did not accept our proposal to have a detailed specification attached to the contract, rather than their standard wishy washy contract which is vague.
