Building with honour & inetegrity. I love it!!

I love it when our dear fellowmen recognize your valuable contributions to the society in any way, shape or form and drop by to show their appreciation. I myself definitely feel the same way. Richard, keep up the good work, be safe and healthy because you still have many things to share to ignoramus like us, lol! Mrs. Armstrong, I like the 2-burner stove idea as well - it makes sense! Kudos to both of you!🤗🙏🏾

Wow, best video so far yet when it comes to editing and everything really. The color was so vivid and lively. Donna, your narration was so good and to the point as well! Great job and thanks for the update. Awesome to see how things are coming along even if the updates feel small to you guys… we will still enjoy them! Take care Armstrong fam 😊

Wow! Am always excited for any new videos you share. Immediate viewing right after notification. With all those power tools, they come easy and convenient for yourself and your workers! Looking forward to the completion of this project, made with utmost professionalism, love and care.

You are making great progress guys. It is incredible far you have come. You are an inspiration to all of us wanting to do the same as you have.

The house is coming along nicely. Watching ella grow whike the house isbtaking progress is awesome. Shes got some fun memories to look back on.

God bless you more Armstrong Family

Ang gandaa naaa grabe huhuhu 🥹💕💕

What I do with the burners is I cut out holes from an aluminum foil and lay it down to protect the surface. You spend on aluminum foil but save on detergent. You also preserve the original finish. You can save the aluminum foil and reuse it over and over again. Richard needs more t-shirts.

Hi, we’re the CAMACHOs from Saipan. We’ve been watching your blogs and we loved it. Donna I admire your cute Ella. She’s so adorable 🥰

great update

Papa, she’s coming together beautifully! We can really see the light at the end of the tunnel. ❤

Bilib tlaga ako kay Richard napaka pulidong gumawa ng bahay. at tlagang maganda hindi lang basta maganda nasa modelo pa at bilib ako sa mga construction worker niya mabait sa kanya at sumusunod tlaga sa kanya. Iba tlaga ang AMERICAN HOUSE MAGANDA NA PULIDO PA. God Bless and Good Luck

Handsome bro look so big and beautiful house can't wait to see it finish 🥰🥰🥰

The place is looking amazing you guys ❤

Your dream kitchen is beautiful

Nakakatuwang mag-edit doon, salamat sa pagbabahagi

Im pretty sure a lot of workers would want to join you guys coz of the equipment that Richard is buying to make sure that the job is done sooner.... it also help them be efficient.on what they do and making sure they are still fine and ready to do the next job!

Its good to children playing outside and playing in rain and mud. This is very rare now days especially in the west where children are 24x7 on their ipads and mobile hurting their eyes and loosing their core memory moment of their childhood. Great Parenting

opening music was awesome!

Here in ormoc with my wife and kids working on our place now. Just came from wilcons and hour ago to grab some water filtration to solve the sediment problems im having. So when the family is done cooking i gotta redue the entire water system from the well into the house. 5 micron filters and reverse osmosis. Really didnt want that since i wanted a vacation and not a "business trip"...

Make a dishwashing soap that you could use for everything, in washing dishes, pans, sink and rest rooms even in sink and toilet. Just 1 cup of dishwashing soap or any soap it depends where you use it then add 1 cup of water, 1 tsp of baking soda, 1 tsp of salt then stir it to dissolve the the solid then put it in sprayers then use it with your scrubbing pad. Results is amazing.

You build some really nice houses . When is your son coming back ? Watching y’all here in US Georgia ☺️👋🏽

Richard, don't forget to always wear a mask when you work especially when you're dealing with too much dust and dirt.

Yes po thank you..

Keep doing what you are doing. When you are done with your house, open up a small construction business and make it official-register it. You can make it big with your knowledge and know-how with current tools available. Most of Philippines' skilled workers are working abroad. What is left, you can impart your knowledge to the local workers. Creating a business, hiring locals providing income for them, paying taxes to the Gov't and attracting foreigners to settle and retire to your area is a win win situation for all of you. I wish you success in every way you choose but take care of your health as well so you can enjoy the fruit of your many labor for a long time.

the name "armstrong" "they build quality strong homes...!!! Philippines is now bless with conscientious builder... Long live TheArmstrong Mabuhay.!!🇵🇭🩷🇵🇭🩷

The old world architecture in Philippines was renowned throughout the world, but building standards amongst the poor and lower classes in the country provinces fell off the earth since the 70’s.

Its definitely a different way of cooking with just 2 burners. Hard cooking everything at once and have all the food hot when served

hi Ella mama Donna papa Richard nice house iwish na ma meet ko kayo pag nasa pinas ako

Been following your videos…suggestion please!!! I always notice that you always upload past events in your new videos..why not just feed us with the current ones so your uploaded videos will be longer? Just a suggestion please…more power and kudos!!!!

Money can’t buy everything but it can speed up anything like making your dream house, dream car and dream vacation a lot better so money is something we all need in any way!. but none of those dreams I need so I don’t need money just peace of mind!

Just curious. Why is the septic tank inside the house?

I noticed you painted your roof white. Does it make a diiference in the temperature inside the house? I am thinking of doing the same to my house. In Guam they use Dura Bright white elastomeric roof coating by Henry, however, I cannot find it in the Phils.

@TheRichardArmstrong

11 ай бұрын

Actually. We didn't paint it white. Just did white steel. BUT!!!!! We will be removing our roof for a different product called UPVC. I will be featuring this in an upcoming vlog Not only does it have a 30 year life span. But it's also heat resistant. Meaning. No need to paint. It doesn't allow heat absorption and doesn't require insulation beneath. It also deaden the sound of rain unlike a metal roof!!! It's also cheaper then conventional steel roof and stronger. Way stronger. Not sure where you live bit the company is located in Bulacan and its 322 pesos per meter. Its definitely worth the cost vs spending money on paint and always having to repaint!

How much are the exterior starken block s per square meter compared to the local blocks ?

@TheRichardArmstrong

11 ай бұрын

Pwr sqm it's 1604 pesos. Local block. After labor and materials for fully finished. We came up with 1980 pesos. So 300 pesos difference finished

I’m a big fan of the blocks compared to the concrete blocks, but i will say little concerning seeing how quickly the chainsaw can cut thru with very little effort,it’s to me a possible security concern, at least with the concrete blocks you have rebar. I guess maybe pros and cons to either type. I don’t think the hollow blocks are that bad if you are doing the proper mix and making them yourself. One of my concerns with ACC is the longevity of the metal brackets , will they hold over time? Being in a country with earthquakes etc. I’m not 100% sold on the system, i know as far as labor and time it’s much cheaper. I know i have heard of some issues once they hit the decade mark ( cracking in the joints and shifting, sometimes causing the walls to be uneven, or leaning instead of being upright. Also wondering how the other solar system you guys had is working compared to eco flow , haven’t seen it around since a couple months back. I have lots of trust in Richard and i plan on using many of his ideas , but i also know it takes time to understand exactly how things work for the long term, it’s a slippery slope when your whole life in a different climate we were taught different building methods , and really how do we truly know when they are using new building practices in like I mentioned in a different environment. Stay safe and healthy Many blessings for the entire family and staff.

We are currently in Germany and most houses are built using ACC. It always rains here too not as bad as the Philippines but the buildings are built to last with ACC. Just an observation.

Wow it's coming along. Many architects and foreman needs to watch your videos. I like to know how and where you got your starlink and how you pay the monthly fee. Can you make a video on this. There are now advertising this product, but I don't trust the ads. Also, how did you pay the initial amount, credit card, G-cash... I live in iloilo and there's a ton brown outs so I do have a small solar system 4k, but the internet i can't control until i saw the starlink. Thanks

handsome bro

interior walls being concrete is odd to me. is the aircrete the cheapest solution?

@TheRichardArmstrong

11 ай бұрын

It's not the cheapest. But its the best. 1. Fire resistance up to 8 hours. 2. Thermal resistance- which means heat stays out and cool air stays in! Saving money on energy cist. 3. Sound proofing 4. Ease of use 5. Longevity of material vs wood, steel and chb. It's not cheapest up front But over time. It saves money and is more earthquake and natural disaster resistant. The interior walls are 4 inch No different than a 2x4 and 5/8 gypsum board on both sides. Except This is sturdier!

As of this time at around 7:30 in the evening.. dated August 31We heard the news about the typhoon Goreng. Are you guys affected with this typhoon? I hope not. Are you from San Vicente??
