Friday In the morning, I pulled out the weeds and did some trimming around where the chipper is sitting. In the afternoon, we went down to Honuapo to the ocean. The ocean was pretty calm, and we had the area all to ourselves. The swimming pool was full as were both wading pools. TTFN

Wednesday The load of 2 1/2″ minus sand and gravel arrived at the Holowai lot around 7:30 AM. I had the truck driver dump it just outside the double gates. It extended from the rock column supporting the gate to the roadway where vehicles travel. There is room for vehicles to get past, but I probably shouldContinue reading “September 6, 2023”
