Merry Christmas One Month In Our New House In The Philippines
I got a lot of comments on my previous house building videos with people concerned so pay close attention to this video and you will get my apology.
There are millions and millions of videos to watch on YouTube so please if you don’t like my videos don’t watch them. And don’t bother leaving a comment because I will just delete it. 😂

![New Grill & Ride to Town in the Philippines 🇵🇭
In todays vlog, I show off the amazing handmade stainless steel grill my wife, Christine, bought for me. We’re heading into town (Camiling) on the motorcycle to find some high-heat paint, grab chicken feed, and navigate the local shops like Mr. DIY and City Hardware.
I also share a very important tip for expats and foreigners on how to avoid the Skin Tax when buying handmade items locally! Plus, stick around to see the finished chicken coop and the Valentines gifts I picked up for the family.
