00:06 Hello OG! Welcome to La Casita de Rabahante, our prefab house.
00:11 So come with me, I'll give you a tour.
00:13 [Music]
00:21 So here we can see the garden that my dad is doing so he can take care of it.
00:28 And of course, we know that Filipinos don't like the gate to be directly at the main house's door.
00:35 That's why they put a pocket garden in the middle.
00:38 And then on this side, this is our mini garage.
00:45 It's really a semi-garage because we don't want the view to be black.
00:52 So it's just enough for one vehicle to be here for the day and for the rain.
00:56 It's like that before.
00:58 And then on this side, we have a pit.
01:01 This pit was originally a real pit.
01:04 The bottom is made of wood, but we cemented it because we don't want to imitate the rice that happened before.
01:13 Here in this pit, we eat and we can visit.
01:16 So that's the story of this pit.
01:19 [Music]
01:22 Let's go inside the pit.
01:24 Welcome to the pit where we can eat snacks.
01:28 And my mom and my brother, hello.
01:31 And this place is connected to the kitchen at the back where we can cook.
01:39 This is the place where if you want to feel like a farmer, we can eat here.
01:48 My dad retired from the pre-pandemic around 2019.
01:54 And he said he wanted to get tangible income from the retirement benefit he got.
02:01 And then the pandemic happened around 2020.
02:06 We wanted to do banding, but we couldn't go to public areas because of the pandemic.
02:11 We decided to build a house here.
02:14 Come on, come inside.
02:16 [Music]
02:19 This is our living area.
02:21 So we can see on this side, our TV is here.
02:25 And it's an old TV, it still works.
02:27 This is from my parents' house.
02:30 So the old things that we can put here, we put it here.
02:34 [Music]
02:36 And these are magnets because this is metal.
02:40 So this wall is metal, and there's insulation, and then metal again.
02:45 Since this is metal, we can put magnets.
02:49 [Music]
02:50 And then here is the dining area.
02:53 [Music]
02:55 This is also from my parents' house.
02:58 This is older than me, so instead of throwing it away, they brought it here so we can have a dining table.
03:05 So it really fits the booked place because it's wood.
03:08 And then this place, we want this place to be like a guest house.
03:14 When we have guests, cousins, it's really a guest house.
03:18 So we removed the wall here.
03:20 Usually, there's a wall here, we removed it so it's a bigger place.
03:25 So others can eat or drink here or there, or they can also sit on the side.
03:31 The first plan here was to make it a kitchen.
03:34 So we decided to make it just a usual place to put things.
03:39 [Music]
03:41 Here, another guest place.
03:44 This is also from my parents' house.
03:47 So old things, instead of throwing it away, they put it here.
03:51 These are even the boudin finds in Lazada.
03:57 Because the stars and the moon are beautiful here at night.
04:00 And there's not too much light pollution.
04:03 So the creators of the moon look really good.
04:06 [Music]
04:10 Here, on the bookshelf, the contents of this are also from my parents' house.
04:16 Because there's not many people reading books now, right?
04:19 I hope there's still a lot.
04:20 But these encyclopedias, since it can be found on the internet, are just hidden in the warehouse.
04:24 So we brought it here to put it here.
04:27 So these are the books, science books.
04:29 And this one is a storage.
04:33 I just bought this from the local stores.
04:35 This cabinet.
04:38 And there's another door here.
04:41 So it can go to the plants too.
04:45 This is also from the Lazada online store.
04:49 Because we know there are a lot of insects when it comes to gardening.
04:53 The good thing about my boudin find here in Lazada is that the screen is magnetic.
05:00 So you can open and close it.
05:01 And the good thing about this is that if you don't want it closed, you can put it here.
05:05 Since this is metal, it can be put here.
05:08 So you can open and close it.
05:11 This house, since I have work, they can't go out often.
05:16 My parents, because they are senior citizens.
05:18 My siblings are studying.
05:20 So the house we're going to build here, the construction can't be long.
05:25 Because no one will take care of it.
05:27 So I searched on the internet what are the options.
05:31 Actually, this design is prefab.
05:34 And when I asked the sources on the internet how long, they said it will be done in a week.
05:42 So here, very basic.
05:48 We have the shower, sink, and bowl.
05:53 So it's a very simple toilet.
05:57 We have ventilation equipment.
06:01 We have the exhaust fan, AC, and air conditioner.
06:05 Although the design of this house is not that hot or cold.
06:11 Because it has insulation.
06:12 But to be sure, we have the exhaust fan here, on the other side, and air conditioner.
06:18 Here, we can see there's an outside toilet.
06:27 Because this is one of the first buildings here.
06:29 There's no kitchen, no kitchen, and no main house yet.
06:32 So the purpose of this is for construction workers.
06:36 And we can also take a bath and go to the toilet.
06:42 We have a mini dipping pool for our nieces and nephews.
06:50 It can also be for the elders, in case you want to cool down, especially when it's very hot in the summer.
06:55 And we also have a mini drawing, mural of my brother with the dog.
07:01 The one you saw earlier, the dog.
07:02 So it's here.
07:05 So this house was built in just 6 days.
07:08 It's like a bible, the house was built in 6 days.
07:12 Actually, if you're going to be honest, this main house was built faster compared to the backhoes,
07:17 the kitchen, and the pool on the side.
07:21 Let's go to the second floor.
07:24 I originally wanted this floor inside.
07:28 But since it's not part of the original design of the prefab house,
07:32 there will be additional cost.
07:34 So I said, so that the cost is not too high,
07:37 the original design is just outside.
07:39 So let's go up.
07:41 So welcome to the second floor.
07:47 So this place, we can see nature is welcoming us.
07:51 And we can see a lot of things I bought here in the online store.
07:55 This candle, and the solar lights.
08:00 We put a lot of solar lights here in many corners
08:04 so that at night, it will automatically open and it's not too dark.
08:08 If you're going to Laguna, you can buy a lot of these things, wooden.
08:14 So the CR here is the same as the one downstairs, very the same.
08:20 Because it's on a template.
08:22 This is the bedroom on the second floor.
08:28 So it's also a booked style.
08:31 So a bamboo bed.
08:33 Then, very basic.
08:36 So it's really just a bed.
08:37 Then we have the view here.
08:39 So it's really nice because when you just woke up,
08:42 you just open the curtain or open this so you have nice fresh air.
08:49 This main house is around 72 square meters.
08:54 And the lot is around 250 square meters.
08:58 And this house is typhoon proof, earthquake proof, and fire proof.
09:04 First of all, these steels have insulation inside
09:08 so it won't burn easily in case of fire.
09:11 And the main columns of these steels are also rust proof
09:15 because these metals are really well coated.
09:19 That's the motivation here that we have family members.
09:24 If we want to rest, we leave our usual routine of our daily life.
09:30 We go here.
09:32 This main house was built in 6 days.
09:38 And the price, because there are 4 container vans.
09:43 So it will cost Php 180,000 to Php 200,000 per van.
09:46 So in total, Php 800,000.
09:48 That ends our house tour.
