We should have more ragingbulls. I really don't know how much a Filipino would make, but I do know that their goals are not to stay in the Philippines once they finish their college education. Look up OFW. If you can make a good business there, more power to you.

Just got an SMS, Aussie chief builder is beginning to listen that I'm fed up and I'm kicking ass ... the labourer has just been fired!

Good on you for making the move and doing something different instead of sitting on your arse at home and doing nothing. Rag'n'Bull Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 3/16/2012 4:44:54 AM   Hi Ben, long time no hear, Actually, by jungle standards, I'm not paying peanuts ... The next door Aussie resort owner pays his labourers PHP200 per day, mine are on PHP250 per day, the jackhammer operators on PHP275 per day, but what's pissed me off is that I have repeatedly told my chief builder that I want to see 100% of the building and, because he's shyed away from it, in his absense the workforce have shyed away from it also. I've quoted to him something my first airline boss always said, when referring to the pretty flight attendants we worked with ... "Don't sleep with the payroll because, then, you lose the ability to manage" ... Well my Aussie builder stays with the senior labourer, he can't discipline the senior labourer unless he finds himself somewhere else to sleep/live ... He can't be a friend and a manager, only one or the other! Only over lunch, today, my girlfriend asked how much the 15 y/o kid labourer, that started a week or so ago, was on, when I asked her to guess she replied PHP100 per day, when I told her Aussie chief insisted upon PHP175 per day she could believe it and complained to me that I was paying them too much. I agreed with her and, minutes later, when, again, I caught the kid skiving ... well that's when I kicked ass. Had an earth tremor some minutes ago but, thanks Ben, on the whole I'm really enjoying myself, as you suggest I'm doing something different rather than just being a boring bastard with a chip on his shoulder because he can't afford to do anything different ... he can't even afford to visit the women in Crimea that he insists upon sending money to! :) Have a nice day y'all, I wonder if the Chocolate Hills are still looking chocolately after all this rainfall we've had! ragingbull Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 3/16/2012 12:42:40 PM   Martin, your success does not depend on my failures or others' visions of your perceived success. Rag'n'Bull Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 3/16/2012 7:31:05 PM   Just what is a "looser"? ... I did ask previously but didn't get an answer! Been suffering from influenza these past couple of days however my Aussie chief builder is back on site, after a week away, later this morning so I'll be kicking more ass ... Without reference to me I learned, some weeks ago, that I've employed and am paying a foreman ... a foreman is a supervisor of the workforce so who the phuck was supervising the 15 y/o kid during his regular skives beside the roadside whilst out of sight behind the building? Ditto for the senior labourer, just what does a senior labourer do if it isn't in a supervisory capacity? And Aussie builder took it upon himself to pay the jackhammer operators PHP25 per day more and without reference to me, well the jackhammer has been out of service, needing repair, this past week and a half, I understand it'll be back and working today but ..... I buy an expensive piece of equipment to make the lives of my workers easier, that they demand more money for such an easier life, and in the absense of the jackhammer they demonstrate an unwillingness to actually work for a living excavating the ground with manual tools either because they've been spoilt or they're waiting to operate the jackhammer again to earn as many extra PHP25's per day as is possible. Well this extra PHP25 per day has caused a conflict of interest and if they don't want to operate the jackhammer on regular salary then they can excavate with manual tools or they can phuck off. ben2006 Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 3/17/2012 10:07:38 AM   PHP25..its only an extra 36 pence at the end of the day. Do you think your too soft on the locals? They are probably expect a regular beating to help motivate them. When do you plan to be open for business and will the resort have its own bar? ragingbull Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 3/17/2012 11:29:06 AM   The best compliment anyone can give you is when they copy you. Anyone else want to be ragingbull? ragingbull Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 3/17/2012 2:19:51 PM   Maybe Martin can also follow my lead and not make any money. Rag'n'Bull Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 3/17/2012 7:24:14 PM   Ben, I'm shying away from using the word 'resort', the development shall have 10 accommodations and a restaurant. As the neighbouring resort owner/staff ask, am I going to have a bar? I answer why should I, there is a bar immediately next door, my restaurant shall serve beers, alco pops, fruit juices and soft drinks but I really DON'T want to find myself running a late night, early morning, all bloody night sometimes, noisy drinking establishment. Ben ... it's all by the local economy and an extra PHP25 per day wasn't my idea. A kilo of rice costs PHP35, that can keep an individual, indeed a family, going for quite a while, they can fish for fish, crabs etc. for free, the workers even catch the small crabs that wander my land to boil them up in to a soup to eat with rice, they cook by open fires burning coconut husks or similar, these people are experts at paying for very little, PHP25 per day equates to PHP150 per (6 day) working week, to them that's a lot of money and worth having. It would be nice to be open in time for this year's high season which starts around August, things are looking reasonable but this is the Philippines and it will happen when it happens. :) Rag'n'Bull Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 3/18/2012 5:41:55 AM   These Filipinos are crazy about cock-fighting, each weekend they gamble on cock fights, and wherever one may be one can't get away from the noise of cocks being kept in back gardens singing all day and all bloody night ... and in the next door house to where my sleeping accommodations shall be they must have some five cocks. Just, this afternoon, discussing our shopping agenda for the mainland this week with girlfriend I reminded her that I still need to buy a gun, she replied that we might wait until we're in the big city, perhaps, during November, I replied very firmly but with humour ... "THOSE COCKS ARE NOT GOING TO MAKE IT THRU UNTIL NOVEMBER" ... she just laughed. :) lonelyranger1701 Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 3/18/2012 10:59:23 PM   RBS,,, danny will feel very sorry for himself after reading your post! He's probably thinking,,,,, I'll never get to play that game!!! Rag'n'Bull Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 3/19/2012 11:11:36 AM   Well, after some 9 hours of power failure this PM, thingsare getting back to normal. After firing one labourer last week the other three labourers decided not to report for work today, they've since received SMS's, upon my instruction, that they're all fired. Meanwhile I've bought in some 'Hole Diggers' that get paid per hole rather than per hour, per day or whatever, it'll take circa one week for them to dig the remaining holes, Aussie chief + Girlfriend & I + Girlfriend are having a short holiday next Monday & Tuesday so we have until next Wednesday/Thursday to assemble a new workforce of labourers and already we're putting the feelers out. Right ... time for another cold one, with the power off most of the day it's been difficult to get a cold anything! Ivor. Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 3/19/2012 3:32:21 PM   LR, anyone can play that game, even Danny. One only needs two roosters. Get them to stare at each other and the fighting begins, much like on the forum. If he still can't figure it out, he is welcome here. We shall go to t he cock fights together. Rag'n'Bull Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 3/20/2012 10:25:27 AM   Amusing ... how else does one communicate when there is no postal service, no landline telephones, these Filipino's don't have computers/internet, there aren't even any pigeons here, and the mobile phone signal isn't constant enough to even maintain a 5 second conversation??? It really is one obstacle after another here, I need some 250 metres of fencing, back home one goes to a hardware store and buys 6ft panels ... not here ... this fencing might be a real problem to get what I want ... We're up island staying at a friend's resort early next week, we'll be bouncing ideas of the owner over a few cold ones, also need to buy some coconut lumber whilst up there, even when we're supposed to be on holiday we're working! Discussions continue with girlfriend where the hell we are going to get some 17 beds from, we'll need to get them made locally but trying to explain to these yokels that we don't need a bed to be sculptored/engraved ... can we just have a plain and simple bed please? Earlier today I printed out some bed pics downloaded from the web to demonstrate to these yokels "These are beds where we come from, now stop complicating everything to push the prices up". :) Right ... late in the evening here now, recently back home from the bar, girlfriend is watching 'Sahara' on DVD whilst I knock back a few cold ones, have a nice day y'all and my love to my fan club! lonelyranger1701 Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 3/20/2012 9:40:43 PM   Name games????? You guys didn’t get the joke!! In danny’s mind,,, he’s thinking,,,, I don’t have a cock,,,,,, so I can’t fight!!!! Has everyone forgotten about his penis shrinking??? lol He said it,,, not me!! Rag'n'Bull Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 3/21/2012 3:38:12 AM   Well, finally, the jackhammer is working again after repair. Another problem to overcome is the roof(s) pitch. In the accommodations the ceilings are going to be 'Hardiflex' and, above, a pitched 'nipa' roof but ..... because in places the building is only 4m wide (a nipa roof needs to be at such a 'waterfall' angle for the rainwater not to penetrate the nipa) to achieve the angle the roof, in my opinion, will look bloody ridiculous so we need to 'cheat'. I've suggested that we underlay the nipa with Hardiflex (polythene sheeting would be ideal and cheaper but impossible to buy around these parts), Aussie builder was concerned about the cost (an 8ft x 4ft x 3.5mm sheet of Hardiflex costs PHP329 before I negotiate any discount) but I'll be saving on the size of the roof and timber and nipa materials, because the nipa won't actually be doing the waterproofing I won't need to replace it so often, I'm saying "to hell" with the cost, let's do it properly, but Aussie builder does worry and is now concerned of the weight of the Hardiflex (a compressed cement sheet material) upon the roof timbers. One, very good, labourer that worked for me previously, he quit to concentrate on another project, is asking to come back and work for me so, the plan is that, he starts tomorrow meanwhile one of the labourers I fired on Monday really wants to keep his job, girlfriend and I are friends with his cousin, it does appear that he allowed himself to be influenced by the other labourers not to turn up for work on Monday, so we'll try to get his SMS number from his cousin later today for him to re-start tomorrow also. Mmmm ... an excavator on this island!!! ... We've got some habal habal's, will these do? http://i1.trekearth.com/photos/98013/habal_habal.jpg Rag'n'Bull Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 3/24/2012 11:35:05 PM   Well we've go a full week this week, I've got 2 new labourers starting on Monday morning, then we're off up island to stay at a friends resort for Monday & Tuesday nights whilst visiting friends, bouncing ideas off the other resort owners, shopping for coconut lumber and possibly some soil, then we're back here Wednesday afternoon whilst buying some building supplies as we pass through the main town en-route then, providing the road to the local town is passable for a heavily laden Multicab, we're up at 3:30 on Thursday morning to take the ferry to the mainland to fill up the van with building supplies and arriving back home on Friday afternoon, then Saturday will be unloading the van, paying wages and whatever else.
