  mag set ka atleast 15,000 per square meters. kung 100sqm x 15K = 1.5M kailangan mo.

  ^ sir for example kung 100sqm x 15K =1.5M kung bungalow?
  
  if 2 storey maging 3M po ang iprepare?

  This is just what I need. I am currently in the phase of getting a contractor and already paid a minimal design fee to my chosen contractor (3D perspective design only). After reading, now I am thinking of taking a break after getting the blue print, BOM, etc. and think more carefully on my next steps. Kudos to you sir.

  Tinutubuan kasi yung mga singit ng pavers ko, mejo nakakapagod na rin mag maintain

  Salamat sir, any idea kung saan makakabili?
  Wala kasi akong makita sa mga hardware stores, including wilcon and cw na malapit samin
  
  Thanks!

• vvbert on 03 May 17 @ 01:18 PM #

  subukan mo lagyan asin (salt) yung lupa. para walang tumubo.

  @dexski...
  
  una dapat alamin, magkano ang budget range mo? magdedepende yan sa materyales na gagamitin.

  @vvbert
  
  salamat sir pero na try ko na yun dati, hindi kaya ng asin, natry ko na rin vinegar pero wala rin
  
  mejo marami pa kasing open area sa village namin, naglipana ang grass pollen, kaya mejo persistent yung mga ligaw na damo

• kensui on 03 May 17 @ 03:41 PM #

  @artie
  
  Try mo yung pamatay ng damo na Sharpshooter. Nabibili yan sang mga agricultural supply stores

• aRTie on 03 May 17 @ 04:08 PM #

  Tiling around 36sqm with 60x60 tiles, more or less i'll be using around 110 pieces, how many bags of tile adhesives do i need to buy? Got a contractor na pero akin lahat nang materials. Kung siya mag provide dagdag nang 600/sqm excluding yung tiles.

• aRTie on 04 May 17 @ 06:47 PM #

  ^
  not an expert on this matter sir pero here's my estimate:
  
  1 bag of ABC tile adhesive 25kg price: approx. Php 250 (not sure sa price)
  1 bag coverage (based on ABC spec sheet for 30x30 tiles): 4 sq.m
  since mas malaki yung tile mo, you'll need thicker mortar: let's assume you'll cover only 2 sq.m
  
  36 sq.m. floor area / 2 sqm per bag = 18 bags of adhesive
  
  this is assuming na sementado and maayos na yung floor mo na ita-tile
  
  Cost:
  18 bags x Php 250 = Php 4500
  Contractor price 600x36 = Php 21,600
  
  Guesstimate ko lang to sir, I've done some diy tiling sa bahay pero mostly 20x20 or 30x30 tiles
  don't have an idea kung gaano kakapal dapat yung bed pag 60x60
  
  anyway, what I'm trying to say though is mukhang rip-off yung 600/sqm na quote ng contractor mo just for the adhesive
  
  PS:
  you could ask this sa papagbilhan mo na hardware, they usually have good idea on how much you'll need

  Thanks, yung dagdag actually covers everything just in case after removing the existing tiles they need to do additional things and need more materials.
  
  At least i have an idea na. Thanks again.

  Hello mga sir! I have a question to all builders and DIY builders. May nakapag-try na ba to mix warm light with cool white light for the ceiling?
  
  Yun Sana gagawin kong setup sa optical shop namin ???? Pero Hindi ko maimagine magiging labas ng combination nya. Ok din ba yun? Or Kung may tips kayo on how to make such lighting. Setup work
  
  Thanks!

  possible ba na iremove yung pader ng bahay sa likod para maextend yung floor area hanggang sa dulo ng lot? same din sa 2nd floor, remove yung pader ng kwarto then extend hanggang sa dulo? bale instead of lagyan lang ng bubong ang area for dirty kitchen, idugtong mismo sa bahay by removing the walls. thanks.

• mjlm on 10 May 17 @ 04:47 PM #

  ^
  consult first sa civil engr. if puwede pa extend, baka
  need na additional support ng floor at roof ng 2nd floor..

• kensui on 11 May 17 @ 05:39 PM #

  Meron pa bang kelangan i-apply sa mga corrugated roof before na pinturahan? Thanks

• packets on 11 May 17 @ 05:41 PM #

  Meron po ba guidelines kung kelan ka dapat kukuha ng permit para sa structure na pinapagawa mo? Nagpapagawa kasi ako ng parang ganito pero 3 poste lang para lang may makapitan ung mesh. Mesh kasi gagamitin ko hindi kahoy.
  
  Sa tingin niyo need ng permit ito?
