And Manny Pacquiao won ... and our house didn't collapse under the weight of the neighborhood ... a good day all around!

Power is out again ... but it was a good day
I think they made a point to get power back on the day of the elections (which had been postponed in many places in the Visayas until today). Now that everyone has voted, they can turn it off again...Comment

How are things going now, recovery wise?No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.Comment

Sounds like it's improving, in your area, at least. How many sinkholes are there?No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.Comment

I think the count is up to well over 1000 sinkholes. Most probably didn't have a house on them, but some did. On the bus route through Tagbilaran there's one (very big) house where half of it looks to have dropped about 5 feet.Comment

Is it mostly limestone out there or just loosely consolidated sediments with lots of subsurface seepage due to all the rain?Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.Comment

One of the good things about not having a roof on the house yet is I don't have to worry about the roof blowing away at least! The bad part of that is, not having the roof yet. Hopefully we will have it up in July before the rains really start though.Comment

Hope this storm doesn't get too strong.Long time member @ Apolyton

It's coming along pretty well. No finishing work yet, but the first floor is livable. CR and some sinks ... doors and windows (still need the glass for the windows though.) With so much of the family visiting for Fiesta, even Pa Rey and the boys, sometimes Aiza, are staying out here.
I'll put up a thread with some pics later. Nice thing about out here is the internet is a lot faster, line of sight with the new cell tower

Alturas Glass has vinyl clad windows. I remember being pleased at the price but no details. They send a guy out to measure then do the installation.Originally posted by Aeson View PostIt's coming along pretty well. No finishing work yet, but the first floor is livable.
