I don,t know the final cost yet I,m just doing it as funds come in. Basically I am doubling the floor space and a wee bit more. There will be a store in front, a computer room in the middle and extended kitchen and laundry area at the back. Upstairs another 2 bedrooms and en suite.

Can you explain the use of a "dirty kitchen" I have an idea of it being an outdoor BBQ area is that right?

yes mick basically nearly every philippine household has one its usually used for doing washing ,cleaning veg ,and grilling on the bbq etc all the dirty stuff thats how I guess it gets its name .we are going to use this room for the time being until the main kitchen diner is finished .I will post more pictures once its been painted up and cabinets installed ,as I said this will be our temp kitchen for now as my place is like a bomb site at the moment lol.The grill on the window will now be takin off as that is a bedroom which was on the outside of the house .I hate window grills but you have to have them as a precauction here as you know lots of sticky fingered yobs about .my house is occupied 24/7 so they would be wasting there time ,plus I have a chihuahua on patrol and nothing gets past her hahaha

Thanks for the explanation, in my small flat, I am lucky to even have a separate kitchen, many here have a corner of the main room!

In years past they could have been called the "outhouse" here

It is interesting to follow your progress on your home and business

thanks mick its a slow progress as i,m only using my pension as it comes in so no debt,plus I need to come back soon to get ma shoulders looked at .The internet cafe is now bringing in around 7 to 8 hundred dollars a month ,not a fortune but it eases the pressure on my pension which can be put into the house.it keeps her indoors busy lol

Wish you luck with your shoulder Brian, you'll be a new man when that's fixed!

I see you have used steel deck Tiger...Not sure if it's more expensive overall but definitely a lot faster..
From seeing the rebar continuing upwards, does that mean you are going up a second floor or is that just a roof deck?

You certainly don't do things by halves do you!!
