Looking back---small bahay-kubo and the CR

Before we could start the project, I wanted to have a small bahay-kubo for temporary lodging, tool and materials storage and a place to rest or just hang around. My original thinking was to buy one of those ready to install bahay-kubo one can buy for for about forty thousand pesos delivered and installed ready for occupancy. I then asked our local guys if they can build one for the same price. They told me that for that amount, they can build a bigger and better bahay-kubo. I told them that I wanted two roofing style on the small bahay-kubo that would serve as the model for the abong’s roofing.

In addition, we also need an outdoor bathroom, referred to as “CR” (for comfort room I guess). I provided a sketch design of what the CR could look like and then left for Calif. Below are pictures of the bahay-kubo in various stages of construction.

I was impressed and totally satisfied with the bahay-kubo and the CR. This bahay-kubo even have a private room inside as well as a small balcon. 

The completed bathroom also looks impressive and almost to the specs.

After the construction was over, we moved the small bahay-kubo to the northern end by the water pump house and renaned it 'honeymoon suite'.
