Added: 2026-05-27

[00:00:00]Good morning, Philippines. Hello world.

[00:00:02]Welcome back to our YouTube channel.

[00:00:04]Nong Jennifer has just been sizing up the IBC tank and he's going to get started on the bamboo to make the screen to cover up the beautiful IBC and make it even more pretty.

[00:00:17]And over here, Nong Edwin is getting started on the driveway. This is exciting, isn't it?

[00:00:29]Yeah, it's going to be the first driveway, first concreted driveway in the area. Uh, but it's going to be safe even if the uh it's raining and there's a lot of water. At least it won't be muddy and I'll be able to come up on an angle and get right up there. I've been coming up there the last couple of days since they made that ramp and it's um pretty safe and easy, but that was dry.

[00:00:56]If that was running with a lot of water and really muddy, it would be a little bit sketchy. So, that is very, very exciting. Good morning, pumpkins.

[00:01:07]Wow.

[00:01:09]Seems like so far the pumpkin seeds really, really love the Philippines. And there's a snail there. My gosh.

[00:01:18]I don't think there's going to be a pumpkin coming up in that one.

[00:01:23]What a cheeky snail we have there.

[00:01:27]We really have to plant this moringa today.

[00:01:32]We've got it sprouting really good. Look at that. The radishio hasn't really done anything since it sprouted. New mom and five chicks look happy.

[00:01:44]And there is a man about the house. this morning. Excuse me. Are you the father?

[00:01:51]Are these your children?

[00:01:55]Will you claim responsibility if there is a divorce?

[00:02:04]Just starting on the rebar going across.

[00:02:08]How thick will you make the concrete?

[00:03:50]They say jack of all trades, but master of none.

[00:03:58]>> So that's for somebody who thinks they can do it all, but they actually can't.

[00:04:03]Oh, I think we have a sleeping beauty up there. Hello.

[00:04:49]She just woke up. Good morning, Reza.

[00:04:52]>> Morning.

[00:04:56]>> We had a comment overnight from G.

[00:05:16]>> Video. Nice. Nice. There we go. We have the end. Wow, that's fast.

[00:05:47]Guys are getting ready to mix up now.

[00:05:49]2-in slab should be nice and safe.

[00:06:00]>> We can put We can put extra cement tend >> we can put extra cement make it stronger.

[00:06:07]>> Yep.

[00:06:07]>> Yeah.

[00:06:19]>> Crack stone.

[00:06:38]Do you think if somebody bought a cement mixer >> and then used it as a business to rent it out, do you think people would would pay to rent the cement mixer or they just keep mixing on the ground?

[00:06:53]Oh yeah.

[00:06:57]>> Per hour >> how much per hour?

[00:07:02]>> No. No idea.

[00:07:04]>> Maybe 50 or something.

[00:07:06]>> Yeah.

[00:07:07]>> Wow.

[00:07:08]>> 50 100.

[00:07:11]>> One bagger. You said that's just one bag of cement. One. Okay.

[00:07:15]>> One bag of cement >> and then it's full. If you package one, >> right?

[00:07:25]Oh, you rent the machine and the mixer, right?

[00:07:31]Oh, that's in the Castellana, >> right?

[00:07:38]So, they do that when they build a house down in the town.

[00:07:42]That's That's a lot faster, huh?

[00:07:44]>> Yeah.

[00:07:44]>> When you're doing a lot of form work.

[00:07:47]Second floor use the one bagger mixer >> right >> but the ground like this nano >> nano >> what's nano >> only one >> only one right >> ah so if you want a bigger mix you need to do it on the floor >> right for example steel deck or something yeah >> ah so Yeah, if it's a big job, then it defeats the purpose. It's no point to have a cement mixer because he can only make one bag every 10 minutes or something. But you can mix more on the ground with more guys.

[00:08:31]>> All right.

[00:08:54]The driveway has officially begun.

[00:09:13]I might as well go to the farm.

[00:09:16]You love You love walking. Oh, you can try the new boots or did papa take them?

[00:09:22]>> Do other people think that >> this lip here, is it going to be annoying or dangerous having a an edge like that?

[00:09:33]>> Or is he going to make it smooth like into the ground?

[00:09:44]It will make it like slide.

[00:09:45]>> Oh yeah.

[00:09:46]>> I want it to be nice for the motorbikes that go past.

[00:10:23]Come on.

[00:10:28]Come on.

[00:10:30]Bye-bye.

[00:11:00]Hello.

[00:11:21]Heat.

[00:11:23]Slow down. I like to move too fast with things that are not real. And I really want this to be really love that last in my past. I messed up too much.

[00:12:15]>> First mix nearly finished.

[00:12:27]Is that our shovel? Is the handle break or is that your shovel?

[00:12:40]That's a nice homemade handle. Look at that.

[00:12:42]>> Show the top, baby. Wow.

[00:12:59]Oh, let me speed up. You could have had more of me.

[00:13:09]And now the time has passed. I see why we were lonely.

[00:13:20]Should have let me speed it up. You could have had more of like 95.

[00:15:11]Oh, that's foreign car.

[00:15:27]>> Oh, one day the Tamarell down here.

[00:15:29]>> Yeah.

[00:16:04]I was thinking about the jackhammer the top of this rock.

[00:16:29]1 2 3 4 One, two, Oh, there you go.

[00:18:10]There we go.

[00:19:12]Do we have any rebar we can put there?

[00:19:18]No wire blah blah blah blah blah.

[00:19:24]>> We can use some of that mesh wire that I bought.

[00:19:27]>> Yeah.

[00:19:27]>> Yeah.

[00:19:35]>> Yeah. I bought this wire mesh for the worm farm, but um >> I think it's it's nice to have it here because the water runs a lot >> and that's a critical zone.

[00:19:45]>> Make it strong. Yeah, make it strong.

[00:20:09]Another one.

[00:20:40]Stop.

[00:21:00]Why? Easy, guys.

[00:21:42]Light shift.

[00:22:19]This is That's fine, huh?

[00:23:25]Yeah. A little bit up there. Yeah. Yeah.

[00:23:28]Yeah. Beautiful. They're going to fill up there the dangerous spot.

[00:23:33]>> That's fine to ride on.

[00:23:37]>> Yeah.

[00:23:45]This bad.

[00:23:55]goods.

[00:23:56]>> Nice.

[00:24:00]And as Edwin is finishing their final touches here, floating in, we have a driveway. And they've made it nice and safe for the motorbike riders to come past.

[00:24:12]So, if you're riding your bike along here, which you can see is a little bit dodgy and then you get to here, it's going to be very easy just to ride straight through.

[00:24:26]And I guess the the weakest part is here because as you can see, the carab walk through here and also the a lot of water comes through here when it's when it's raining a lot. Oh, we had a rooster already.

[00:24:40]Oh my gosh.

[00:24:44]Cheeky rooster.

[00:24:46]Edwin rooster.

[00:24:56]And final touches is brushing to the side. And that makes people not slip over. Huh.

[00:25:02]Yeah.

[00:25:04]So grippy to walk down. Excellent. Thank you.

[00:25:11]heart.

[00:25:13]>> Yeah. Yeah. Heart.

[00:25:14]>> 2026.

[00:25:16]>> Yeah.

[00:25:35]say all Maritis, welcome.

[00:25:41]>> How do you like the new driveway?

[00:25:43]>> Yeah, it's very safe now. It's not really like before that it's really hard when you enter here, >> right? And uh that order from Depo, it was six bags of cement, six rebar, and half a cube of sand, and a quarter of >> crackstone, I think. How much was that order? About 7,000.

[00:26:04]>> 7,000.

[00:26:04]>> Okay. 750.

[00:26:06]>> And the the guys worked half a day on it the other day and then half a day today.

[00:26:11]So, I think in total it cost under 10,000 pesos for this whole driveway.

[00:26:18]>> Mhm.

[00:26:20]And I'm going to feel much safer now. I can ride straight in and I can ride straight out.

[00:26:25]>> Mhm.

[00:26:27]>> Yeah. So, today is just a >> not very hot day. Another one of those days where it looks like it's going to rain all day, but it probably won't.

[00:26:36]>> It looks like tiring day for me. I don't know why.

[00:26:39]>> Right. And that's why I said let's go to the farm. And that's why she said no.

[00:26:43]>> No, let's do it tomorrow. Tomorrow. A day.

[00:26:46]>> Mñana. Saturday. Do you say mñana?

[00:26:49]That's the Spanish word for tomorrow, isn't it?

[00:26:52]>> Mñana.

[00:26:52]>> Mñana.

[00:26:56]>> Oh, yep. We need to start getting our paperwork done for the wedding.

[00:27:08]>> Yeah. There.

[00:27:09]>> Yeah. First first we need to get the cinema. So, we're going to find out if Ry has been married before or not.

[00:27:15]>> Oh, no.
