The walkthrough of our Beach House here in the Philippines. Many of you requested to see what we have so far, and I couldn't have agreed more with you that it should have been included with our last upload Part 13 on YouTube ( https://youtu.be/ubL70eOuGnQ ). Our next step will be to get a window for the house, and to start on our "dirty kitchen" on the first floor and to hopefully include a grill! The CR/Restroom/Bathroom will be last on our list as we have family members for neighbors for now if nature calls, plus we still need to have water brought in by the water district.

SEASON FINALE. It's finally here! Many of you wanted to know our budget and build cost of the Beach House, so here ya go! If you want to cut through all the BS, you can jump to 14:23 to find out what we spent. But we hope that you watch the whole video and always appreciate our viewers, and subscribers.  Marilou will be doing a blog post on our website https://www.lumpialife.com/ which will include a breakdown of all the material and labor costs, so keep checking back to see if she got that up. Even though our Beach House is about 97% complete now, any future updates will be posted on our channel or blog. We hope to start doing some more travelling around the Philippines, so if you're a subscriber click that bell to get alerts when one of our new videos pops!

Plaza II Ave. From there, it was a super scenic ride with rice field after rice field, coconut tree forests and jungle. We climbed high into the mountain on mainly well paved roads passing through small villages. When we came to the turn off to Sumile, we actually drove past a few hundred yards, so keep a lookout for a road on the right with a small sign with an arrow saying "This Way To Sumile". The road up to Sumile was mainly a dirt road, so we took our time driving slow through the forest and small simple homes. Once we made it to the top, we were greeted with a small village with a basketball court and some sort of lookout tower. We asked a local where th...
