When we bought the land we were told that there was already water and we only had to pay the connection fee. This was in fact not the truth. We only realized this after we have bought the land and started to enquire from the local Municipality about the price to connect the water.It was an astronomical price! We had to pay almost 7000 pesos!. They wanted us to pay from the last connection point. The price included all material and labour. We could not afford it and it was also a matter of principal. If we paid for the connection of the water it would run directly in front of the land that the man whom we bought the land from wanted to sell. In principal I did not agree with this.
After a struggle we found two men who were willing to dig the hole. It was quit interesting how they looked for water. He used a piece of wood and showed us exactly where the water was running. I was a little sceptical at first but he guaranteed us that he will find water.They did! They found water at 16m and we asked him to go 2m deeper in case the water bed drops.
Digging this hole was no joke. I was amazed to see all the rocks that came out of this hole. In this picture you can see the soil and rocks that were taken out. We want to use the rocks to decorate around the house once construction is finished. I will post more pictures.

Building of the 2nd storey has also commenced. Here Andrey and I are standing in front of the first room or like we like to call it, Room one. You can also see the construction on the top floor where we will live.
