Just had a hit by Burglers - Security

[Steve.r]

Be careful with firearms, as only Filipinos can use them legally. If a foreigner does happen to plug someone, make sure you clean your prints of the weapon and give it to a Filipino you can trust. this I have heard from the chief of police, so shhh.

We will invite the Chief over for dinner and barangay captain, I know him already so will get the local low down on how they regard these issues

Hi again Steve.r

I know this is a little off-topic but I like the yellow/green colour scheme of your house.

My wife and I often look at the colours of houses when we travel on the Seres Liners and we like yours the best, it is bright

You know Apo', the house wa that colour greeny/blue both inside and out and with the green roof Not much I could do about the roof, but it is now all painted with the white and yellow scheme now, makes it look clean a fresh. But you are right, there are so many different colour schemes, I love looking at some houses, they look really good.

A little tip, when painting over Galvanized metal, make sure you FIRST apply a coat of "CALCIUM PLUM BATE"... and other bare metal with red oxide primer. I noticed this on your gate Steve. The Finished paint is peeling, noticed this on all galvanized metal in the Philippines.

Thanks Jim, those photos were take last year before I bought the place. Mind you, the gate still looks like that but we are going to re-paint all the metalwork, not all is like that gate. We have black and silver metal paint, but red oxide primer on the galv should do the trick first

If they are going to rob you they will do it if your there or not and shorley its best ur not there?

Hmm .... maybe, but I love my mahal and cannot bare being away from her. That is our home and castle, so defending her and my family comes first
