Homesteading in Hawaii

A picture gallery of our land project, 3 acres in Ocean View, Hawaii, starting 2003.

Here we are setting the form for the new bathroom slab.

All re-bar and plumbing in place, ready to pour

Concrete truck and crew in action.

Heavy and messy work.

The wheel barrow shuttle traffic...

We also poured a small walkway to the shack.

Here the slab is getting ready to be smoothed out with the "whirlybird"

The day after, floor looks good, and I can sit down and enjoy a beer!

Walkway looks good too!

Later, Gairey and I are starting to frame up the walls and roof.

Steel framing, light, strong and straight.

Here you can see the two different floors, acid stained; the green is for the bathroom and the amber is for the utility room. Koa is inspecting...

Getting ready for some wall and roof panels.

The diagonals is for shear bracing.

We actually changed some of the window sizes/heights after this picture was taken. I forgot that my wife is shorter than I.

Is he cute, or what?

Roof and walls are up, what is missing is gutters and trim.
