the stream along the downhill side of the land..
The neighbors land, no one knows who’s the owner.. its said ‘from a lawyer in Porto’. One thing he does not take any responsibility, weeds, blackberry bushes grew higher than the far to many trees and formed a jungle. It did not feel safe due to danger for a fire in the dry season. Therefor I hired Armenio, a friendly local hard working with good skills and tools, he fixed it after 5 hours waving with his bushcutter.
- early stage of clearing
- Armenio @ work
- its safe now!
In February 2020 a crew of skilled men and their machines drilled a borehole 90m deep. March the pump and electricity will be installed than I can get the water tested and use it in the mains for shower, drinking and irrigation.
- I finally got the borehole
- two days drilling 90 m deep
- she gave me water…
