Another step forward. On my trip to Hawaii in July/August I have successfully completed the installation of a septic system on the property. This is in preparation of building the house. Most homes in Hawaii outside the major cities, have a cesspool; a large hole in the ground where the sewage from the toilet, kitchen,Continue reading “Septic System”

Another Great Trip
The end of april saw me headed back to continue with what work I could do in Hawaii. And of course, to go to the beach/ocean! The major project I wanted to concentrate on was the outdoor kitchen area/Gazebo. On the last two trips, I have been raising the original 12 x 12 deck toContinue reading “Another Great Trip”

Goin’ Back
Next Monday, March 7th, I’m going back to Hawai’i. I’ll be there until March 28th. I have gone onto the Hawaii Safe Travels website and entered the date for my trip, and uploaded my Covid-19 vaccination card. Almost instantly, I received my QR code. You used to be required to fill out a questionaire withinContinue reading “Goin’ Back”
Building Permit Application
After nearly two years of mis-steps, I have finally submitted for a building permit. My first attempt over a year ago resulted in rejection by the County of Hawai’i because the plans I had with me had the Architect’s stamp on them but they were not signed by the Architect. Two months later, they wereContinue reading “Building Permit Application”
The Adventure you are ready for is the one you will get. – Jeff Probst
January 5, 2022 It is just a little after 6:00 AM and I am on a plane waiting to takeoff for Kona. I will stop in Los Angeles to change planes, and maybe I’ll get pre-cleared for Hawaii. When I got to the TSA Security for “C” gates, the line was out onto the concourse,Continue reading “The Adventure you are ready for is the one you will get. – Jeff Probst”

Return to Paradise – 8/28 & 29
We went to the beach today. Ok, it isn’t a “beach” in the traditional Hollywood fashion, white powdered sand, waving palm trees, cabanas every ten feet, lounge chairs and cabana boys who bring you drinks with the little umbrellas – It is more of a shore line. A rocky shore line with short clifs whereContinue reading “Return to Paradise – 8/28 & 29”
March – April Daily Log
This post is a rather long post. It is a daily log of my three plus weeks in Hawai’i. Monday – March 22, 2021 So far, so good – no major mishaps so far on this trip – only a few minor ones. This morning I woke up and went on line to the DeltaContinue reading “March – April Daily Log”
Building A Deck
As we continue to stumble around trying to trim the vegetation, it becomes apparent that we need somewhere flat and level to simply sit. Also someplace to work from. The topography of the property is rough and tumble. It seems that the trees and shrubs are rooted in and among a jumble of rocks andContinue reading “Building A Deck”
