Ok, only a small place that was empty next to Shey's parents in a sub division. I asked who owned it, was told it was up for sale and, as Shey was staying for a further month, I enquired about the price. 140,000 Php - yep that's right - £2,000! So I thought, "why not?" - we can use it when we're there and they can use it when we're not.
Didn't know about cost of furnishings etc., but there's a place not far away that makes wooden furniture. So we stopped and asked about prices. King size bed in hardwood, with a lovely integrated carved headboard 8,000 Php or £115, table and chairs set 5,500 Php.
As Shey's brother is in construction I'm going to ask him about adding a second storey and getting aircon installed
