My Move to the Philippines

July 2010

If you’ve been following the story on our moving to the Philippines you know that we are still working on our house construction in the Philippines. We fully lived in it the last time we were there and decided to start another phase which is making a bigger kitchen and adding a terrace and expanding my office. The picture at the beginning of the post is from about two weeks ago. As you can see, many times Philippine houses are built by manual labor with very little automation at all. It’s been really interesting watching our Philippine house and seeing the unique ways the the Filipino workmen use common items as tools and construction material. Keep checking back to see when we get the completion pictures.

On another note I would like to thank the loyal readers who have been following my blog. I never intended this to be a profit making site but did add some advertisements to pay for hosting and such. I am surprised to see that although I don’t spend nearly as much time as I do on my other projects this blog is picking up much more traffic than I ever expected. If there are any questions on my experience as an American moving to the Philippines please leave me a comment.
