Today we went back to the province to get some work done with our well. I purchased a solar water pump and we needed to build a roof to mount it before the pig pen is ready so they will have water.

@@TheSpiro7 Thanks brother, still not 100%. It's been 4 weeks now. I've never been sick this long in my life before. Hard to shake it off. Thanks for watching as always my friend 🦘✌️
Hi Brian and Tess good video I can see next trip plenty of chainsaw work on those trees. Maybe a good idea to see a doctor get some antibiotics or something is been 4 weeks or try a bottle of Brandy. Cheers 🍻 mate
@@peterpoulter1420 yeah it's been bloody hard to shake this mate. We are gonna put the pig pen just the other side of the trees so it's a good distance from the house but yeah I still have 3 or 4 trees I want to clear. The rest can stay for shade coz it's bloody hot haha 😂. Cheers mate 🦘✌️
@@AustralianinthePhilippines it beats the bloody cold my joints have never felt better since living here. Maybe it’s so much San Miguel 🍻
@@peterpoulter1420 Haha yeah the tropics are definitely good for some things, I've heard a lot of guys say their libido has been improved since being here but maybe that's just all the hot young Filipinas haha 😜
Im in BATO . SOUTHERN LATEY. ..IM DOING ..SOLAR AS WELL.. ..WE HAVE ,1.1 HA
Nice, are you going with a solar company? or just DIY mate? I have been learning all I can about solar and it's bloody confusing haha. linking panels in series or in parallel or you can link them both apparently. There is even a facebook group for DIY making their own batteries.
We’re going to build our house on the island of Samar near Dolores

Yes Brian, you touch on the issue of the magnitude of unutilized or under-utilized agricultural land there is in the Philippines....this is partly due to the strict inheritance laws meaning that previously economically viable lots get divided by 6 or 8 or more when the owner dies...the heirs mainlu only want money and are not interested in farming, or combining with their siblings to retain a viable parcel of land.... That coupled with the Agrarian Reform act which will prevent any neighbors from acquiring the land and expanding their holdings beyond the 5ha maximum.... The result is even the land that is farmed is too small for economic use of machinery...farming ends up being hugely inefficient and almost stone-age.... The Marcos government recognizes the issue and has put in place many very good assistance programmes with the Feed the Nation policy, but the fundamental issue of inheritance and the DAR make it difficult to fix...
yeah it's quite ridiculous that people can only own a 5 hectare lot and you are correct that it's not viable to own farm machinery to work small lots. Nor is it possible for farmers to grow commercial quantities of produce to make a decent living. But I was talking about even the people here who own 4 or 5 hectares are not using it for big vegetable gardens, they all have very very small gardens no bigger than you could fit in your suburban lot in the west. It amazes me that this is the case even out here in the mountain.
@@AustralianinthePhilippines there ways around the limits using corporate structures and subsidiaries, but this is relatively expensive and too much faff for the average Filipino...considering many can't afford or even be bothered to navigate the complex bureaucracy involved in even registering or transferring a title....that's why so much agricultural land only has a "tax declaration" and no proper Torrens title...(typical of the many self-defeating over-bureacratic processes in the Philippines)....Another way is to put multiple lots in different (adult) family member's names....but this comes with its own risks and (future) complications 😳.... Overall it is frustrating to see so much land wasted and/or being inefficiently used though...😩
Had to take a break kuya. I'll catch up brother.
@@Maputi_na_Kalabaw yeah you've been quiet Kuya, hope all is well 🦘✌️
@@AustralianinthePhilippines oh everything is fine with me and aileen and phoebe but the rest of my family is chaotic. I'm very used to that mess (it upsets me terribly at times as it should..but its all i knew before aileen). aileen is not (and the effects on me affects her) used to it. Needless to say I have to handle things as they come up but I certainly try to minimize how these issues affect her. Also, she has backed off of the urgency to get out of here and "go home" for multiple reasons. Most of which was how it upsets me but she knows I can handle anything.
That being said...Our life here isn't bad just the remainder of my family tries to drag me into the chaos and I'm a fighter brother. I'm going to dig in and fight it . Not for me of course but for her and phoebe and for what is right. If that makes sense.
@@Maputi_na_Kalabaw 100% Kuya, you do what you have to and stay strong 💪💪🦘✌️
What's it like for mosquitoes and other insects with all those rice fields? Here in Croatia I get constantly pestered by horse-flies and deer-flies.
@@Phiyedough yeah we get some but not a huge problem to be honest, more flies than anything. But the big ants are my biggest complaint here. It's considered bad luck to destroy ant mounds here so some ant mounds are 6 feet high. 🦘✌️
@@AustralianinthePhilippines Ah yes, ants. I also get carpenter ants that operate much like woodworm and infest the roof timbers. That in turn attracts birds into the loft then cats to catch the birds!
@@Phiyedough Nature can be harsh sometimes right. Those bloody ants hurt when they bite too lol
✌️🦘🦘hiiii😊
@@SelmaAriola "Hi" 😁
Brian, is it worth shipping my car to the Philippines when I move it is a new car and I know if I try to sell it here I would not get much for it. I would probably lose $10-$15,000. It is paid for.
@@danielsimms3361 NO, import taxes on vehicles will cost you more than it's worth and I've heard horror stories of guys having even motor cycles lost in paperwork and red tape for years. Take the hit there and sell it mate.
hi 😅
haha thanks Dave and Hi to you too mate 😀
We’re going to build our house on the island of Samar near Dolores
@@danielsimms3361 Samar is a beautiful spot and not a huge distance from Masbate island. I'm sure you'll love it there. 🦘✌️
Hi ,I'm building and renovating in Gamay, Northern Samar also.
@@glenscheibe43 Building and renovating? So you have 2 houses in Samar? I've not been to Samar but have seen lots of beautiful video from there. Looks great 🦘✌️
