Still the work is not complete

One month after moving into our Dipolog house and lot work has still not been completed.

So what is the good news, well we now have hot water after insisting that the hot water tank be placed in the roof area, not only is the water hot but water pressure has been improved. The Glass in the Bar cabinets has been installed

Electrical work outstanding is dimmer switch in master bedroom and relocation of bathroom switches to outside rooms as a safety issue.

One major issue has been a foul smell in the upstairs bathroom and the plumber has has been unable to find the source which also affects the downstairs powder room, the n answer from Mediatrix was to install extractor fans. So I ended up opening up one of the floor drains to prove to the plumber that the smell was coming from the septic tank. He said that was impossible as there was a water trap in the line, so I got him to put his ear to the drain and asked if he could hear dripping water, he replied yes, so therefor the water trap was not working, and I suspect that the trap on the upstairs drain has the same fault.

Glass panels on stairway are still to be installed and many of the windows gaps still need sealing.

Garden landscaping is taking shape and in fact will be completed before house. Garden walls are taking shape, and gates are on order

Landscaping and walls are being carried out by Alex who has a team working daily and seems to be a reliable contractor with some good contacts, we have atonally requested a quotation and design and builds a built in oven housing.

This coming weekend marks my birthday and we are holding a combined House blessing and house warming party so we are keeping our fingers crossed that issues will have been resolved.

The final Leg

It has been some time since my last post and it seems we are now in the home straight but missed the target of hand over ant end of January, surprise surprise.

downpipes have been fitted to guttering and plumped into drains. This has greatly reduced the noise during heavy rains, in fact often we do not know its raining apart from the fact that a nearby business premises has a tin roof. Kitchen cabinets have handles and wardrobes have doors.

So that is the good news, water pressure still dogs the issues taking a power shower and, but shower screens have been fitted. Still no hot water after nearly a month. Glass yet to be installed on kitchen cupboards, bar and in Family room. Electrical work outstanding is dimmer switch in master bedroom and relocation of bathroom switches to outside rooms as a safety issue.

Garden landscaping is taking shape and in fact will be completed before house. Still awaiting quotations for garden walls and gates which means dogs have to be tied up all day.

Great Internet connection speed but power outages might be an issues, it seems in Philippines municipal water and power cannot be relied upon.

I had an Australian contact me via Skype for assistance and advise about building a new house near the beach. He is also concerned about electrical issues
