The pouring of cement to complete the construction of the concrete roof our house was done yesterday. My parents rented a cement mixer for ₱1,500 and hired more people to make the work easier,  according to my mother about 19 people help for completion of the slab I  am not sure yet if they paid all of them or other just help in return of free food, snacks and drinks including booze after the job.

My mother informed me they cook chicken soup in the morning, pancit for snacks and monggo beans with meat for lunch, the event was like a small fiesta and probably the male neighbors that extend their help on pouring the cement will be more happy if they received Davidoff cigars aside from free booze.

Anyway renting a mixer is convenient rather than manually mixing the cement,  it will save more days and money.

Constructing the framework of slab roof is quite complicated  I thought it was easy and doesn’t need a lot of work but I was wrong. It needs a careful planning and time dedication.  Adding irons and pipes for electric line was already done and on Saturday finally they will finally pour cement to finish the constructing our concrete roof.

My mother informed me that we had extra iron bars that we could use on constructing the second floor of our house. I hope we could save and do it soon but with the current phase of my online opportunities I wonder when we can start the construction again. Business is quite slow this month.

Our newly constructed house has no roof yet or slab because they are still building framework for it. My mother informed me that the lumber were not enough so they had one of the tree in our yard to be cut so they could finish adding the wood framework.  Just the other day they already add steel bars to the framework and in few days they will probably pour cement on the pavement.

My mother told me that they need to hire more workers so pouring cement will just took one day because they will also rent a mixer rather than people doing the manual labor. I hope it could be done soon so our next project is house flooring and adding electricity line to the house.

­Concrete roof is exactly what it sounds like, it is a solid slab of concrete capping the top of your house. Exact specifications vary, but most concrete roofs are several inches thick.

One of the most import part of a house are doors, without doors your belongings and family’s security is in danger. Quality doors add appeal to a home and enhance your home’s security, always remember that a well built doors provide tight and long lasting security to home owners. Energy efficiency is the most important feature a door can have, you can improve the energy efficiency of your door by using effective weather seals.

There are many designs options for quality doors whether you like textured, colored, glass or iron doors. Door can be made either by wood, plastic, glass and more.

As what I thought our house was already with slab or roof last week but it turns out they are still constructing the frame for slab. My mother says they bought sets of lumbers and steel bars already, bags of cement will follow once the framing was done. I am bit excited because if our new house has already a roof my family can move in to our new house.

Hoping that I will get more opportunities in the next few months so I could help to improve our house more when the slab construction was done, like adding windows, doors and tiles.

Replacing a dimming or burned out light or the light cover in your refrigerator are simple tasks, but it is also necessary to change the refrigerator’s air filter every six months. The PureAdvantage and PureAir air filtration systems trap and neutralize the molecules that cause bad odors. The air filter door needs to be replaced if there are any cracks. The door to the refrigerator itself needs to seal tightly. To help the seal last longer, apply a thin coat of petroleum jelly to the seal hinges.

Having a small area to build our house and with my cousin’s house at the back, we had it made with firewall for safety and privacy of each other,  firewall are often use to separate two residential units. It intended to slow the spread of fire from one side to the other, it was proven helpful in many incidents like when there’s fire in our small town some of the houses and establishments were saved by the firewall.

Having it made with firewall my cousin’s house cannot be seen anymore, there’s no choice but this is what is best when the houses are near each other.

My mother, my sister and I was discussing earlier about the color or theme of our bedrooms when the construction of our house was already finished. I choose blue and brown while my mother choose light blue for their room and my sister love the pink and purple for her room she is into music so I think a music theme bedroom is a perfect choice for her.

Music theme bedroom are popular to young people who are music enthusiast, if you are planning to have this theme for your own room you might as well consider buying Gibson guitars to complete your design and collection.

My mother informed me that they just bought two trucks of dirt for $20 each. They are piling the elevation while we have no funds yet to start constructing the slab of our house. Hopefully we could save before the month ends so after the slab we could start working for the flooring and tilings as well as finishing the walls.

There are still a lot of things to do before our house will be ready for occupancy which means we still need a lot of money for it to materialized. We are hoping that we could done it as soon possible before rainy season came.
