I did think about transportation, and also sinking a deep well on my property, gfs papa has his own business drilling for water ,he gave me an estimate of 1 mil , 

I'm taking his advice on this as he would appear to know what hes doing regarding water ,he often works overseas drilling for water and piping it 

Gf is confident that the baranguy captain is our friend so I'm going with the flow ( pun intended )

I honestly can't not believe that price for water, it's way off the scale. Something is not right here, I have installed a deep well and costs were not even a forth of that.

Here are a couple of pics of the farm taken today

Looks very neat and tidy, be a pity to can it. Perhaps your GF can arrange someone to lease it. It's at time just not worth the hassel and heart aches.

Ill get a couple of quotes at a later date , ill also sit down and talk to her papa about it , i think the problem is the geology ,its all rocks and more rocks .

Her papa earns his living from deep water drilling , either hes quoted a high price because 1, he does not want to do the job , or he actually giving an honest quote , the locals draw their water from springs as far as 2km away

Her papa would apear to know what hes doing so far , he has fixed tge electrical supply problem and is sorting out the water , his standards are far superior to the locals that we have been using

Out of curiosity does the access to your land require crossing others land ?  Asking as an ex of mine has just been refused access onto land that's been in her family for many years but has to walk through a neighbours land for access.  I'm just wondering if there is a barangay path couldn't you run the water line along it instead of getting ripped off for 1m.

You have had 2 people tell you they want 1m to drill a well and 150,000 per year rent to get water there does that not ring any alarm bells. Do you really know your GF and her family that well? We have a lot of rocks around here and the wells all come in under 30k.

I had one person tell me , not two , my gfs familly are not trying to overcharge me , i think her papa does not want the job .

The demand of rent was turned down by my gf , it was greedy farmers who asked for it .

Maybe im making a mistake,  but wtf ,ive had enough of the negativity that keeps getting thrown at me

I found your story about the piggery interesting, and honestly I wasn't trying to be negative.

I was trying to be constructive (which is why I suggested the tanks, even though as it turned out you'd already considered that).

 Many many posts ago I stated that what might sound negative was in fact very Positive and echoed by some Even You My friend, Most here have admired what you have done and intend to do, but as it turns out many of our Positive Thoughts and woes on things have turned out to be the  truth in this case. Constructive criticism and help from those that have done things seems to have offended you, well My Friend you really do have a lot to learn, But if you are not that Interested in Learning from OUR mistakes then you will just have to learn from your own, and you will make them! So if you do as you say want to leave, as I welcomed you when you joined I will say ( with Sadness)

Bastonjock take a moment to cool down.

lots of what members write do appear to come across with  negative connotations how ever they are not intended this way.  Together there are many years of hands on experienced advice on this form, people trying to help.Yes medicine does not taste good. Be that as it may, we are looking out for you and would like nothing better than to see your project succeed.

The reality is, as said by members whom have personally dug wells, including myself in rocky terrain that the price quoted does not add up, something is not correct.

Take a moment to look at your Barangay captain, sounds also fishy, would not surprise me if he is in cahoots with the greedy land owners. One thing these kind people fear is.authority, why have an attorney visit these people with a document drawn up per the original agreement, I believe there would be a good chance they would sign. 

lastly I would be very hesitant about spending any more funds here, something about this whole situation just does not seem correct, like when one smells smoke. 

Keep those hard earned under the kilt for now.......
