![Aircon Cleaning Philippines | Split Type AC Maintenance & Cost Breakdown
Keeping your aircon units clean isn’t just about comfort — it’s about saving money and protecting your health. In this video, I show the full process of professional split type aircon cleaning in our new house in the Philippines. We had 3 units cleaned at ₱1200 each, and I break down the cost, the step‑by‑step cleaning, and why regular maintenance is essential for energy efficiency and long‑term performance.

![Modern Kitchen Progress: Custom Cabinet Install in the Philippines! 🇵🇭
We are finally making progress on the dream house kitchen! In today’s video, we’re getting the lower kitchen cabinets installed. It took about 10 days for fabrication, and the results are looking great with soft-close drawers and a custom layout.
Beyond the kitchen, I’m also tackling some yard work to clean up construction debris, fixing the driveway, and showing off the new outdoor furniture set we picked up from City Hardware. Life in the Philippines is always busy, especially when youre turning a house into a home!

![DIY Birdhouse & Garden Landscaping: Managing Price Increases in the Philippines
Welcome back to the channel! Today we are tackling Part 2 of our landscaping project, but things have changed. We’re dealing with some significant price increases on construction materials like cement and wood here in the Philippines. I’ll break down exactly what we’re paying now versus just a few months ago so you can plan your builds accordingly.
Plus, Christine has some beautiful new birds, so I decided to build the Ultimate Birdhouse—a 4-bedroom bird condominium! I’m using some new tools from City Hardware and Inkco, including a miter box and hole saw set. If youre looking for DIY inspiration or updates on provincial life in Tarlac, this video is for you.
