I saw the Street View car pulling out of a fruit market off Highway 130 near Paradise Drive about an hour ago.  Easy to spot, has a 3 foot vertical post on the roof with camera container on top.  Doors say Street View.

This is an issue that is near and dear to our hearts. It goes without saying that many of our West Hawaii cousins are not quite Puna tangs. In fact they can be heels but they still deserve to be protected. Kudos to DAR for doing the right tang.

Any status update on this issue?

I have to re-roof a small 8x16 ft shed roof structure (16x20 w/ overhangs).  Planning on 16 ft length metal roof, but the roof is not used for catchment so metal is not strictly required.  I have previously purchased overstock commercial roofing (heavy gauge) from a local contractor, but that supply has dried up.  Please share your experiences on where I should buy my roof, which gauge is solid enough, etc.  Also if you know anyone looking to sell some 16 ft metal roofing.

I tend to build like this: 2x_ rafters to code, 1/2" plywood, 30# roofing felt, plywood spacers for drainage, 2x4 purlins, HPM Pattern 7 (exposed fasteners), HPM screws.  Any suggestions for improvements?  I like having the plywood underneath for the noise reduction and to prevent condensation dripping inside.

This will be a non-air-conditioned living space.

Thanks for suggestions and ideas!

Has anyone ever noticed how many visitors, at any one time, are skimming the PW pages? Has anyone ever noticed how few of them actually say anything? Engage, at all? It is always, pretty much, a handful of the same "names."

I thought PW would be a good place to discuss. Some of you seem so clever- and boy, don't you know it. But think I will just skim, like the majority, and watch the vocal minority sarcastically compete, wit for wit, with one another- or tear each other apart.

Feeding time!

I have followed this case closely and came to this conclusion very early, but now its confirmed.

"Hannah Kobayashi found safe more than a month after her disappearance, family says"

Hannah Kobayashi found safe, family says

I don't care what anyone wants to do. If you want to just disappear and do whatever it is you want to do - fine - go do it. 

When family is left guessing, unknowing, concerned - which IMHO is the self-entitlement part of my issue that is a terrible thing to do to them - but my core issue is the sheer volume of resources simply wasted on some self-entitled grown adult wanting to intentionally run away.

To be clear, I am not discussing what a spoiled brat pre/teenager does when mom takes his/her iPad away and runs away, I am talking about a fully grown, supposedly mature adult here.

And if just leaving everyone/everything is your bag - go do it. For under 500 bucks, you can scribe out your "manifesto," put it into a sealed envelope and hire an attorney who will swear under oath that it was you who retained him under your own free will - and will then deliver your manifesto to whomever you desire so they know what is going on.

In this case, she should be held liable for all costs incurred by all agencies involved and all countries involved - which I am pretty sure is a staggering amount.

Sometimes, boxes of rocks are indeed smarter!

The military is no longer exempt from Hawai'i Countyʻs Nuke-free law.  Outgoing mayor Mitch Roth let it become law without his signature.

Well now, first it was the guy who attempted to assassinate the POTUS elect with ties to Hawaii.

Now, its the suspect in the killing of the United HealthCare CEO.

"Authorities say Mangione was born and raised in Maryland, has ties to San Francisco and his last known address is in Honolulu, Hawaii, Kenny said."

Is it something in the drinking water causing this?

Go figure!

Does anybody know what those moving lights are in the Southern sky over Puna? I've been watching them from 7:10pm to 7:30pm tonight (Sunday).
