Here is a thread about Recloating to Puna that you might find useful and full of information.
Perhaps Rob would bring forward the 16 page thread, 9-26-2004 about "Relocating to Puna" that is locked. If that isn't possible, search for it on the PW Forum section. Lots of great information about building in Glenwood.

Good Morning everyone and welcome to a new beginning!
We purchased land in Puna in October 2004 and have spent the first year developing a portion of the 30 acres as well as building a home. The story begins with the posting "Relocating to Puna". The saga continues here with a new beginning - the blessing of our home and land.
Our blessing went really well. The Kahuna was marvelous. Pig was incredibly good; a 250+ pounder imu'd in the grand Hawaiian tradition. Friends were plentiful and spirit was solid and positive. Thank you all for your support whether in presence or thoughts.
We were told that if we got a little rain on our day of blessing it was a special blessing on our house. It did indeed sprinkle just before the Kahuna began his ceremony, then it stopped for us all to gather on the lawn, go through the events and head for food. It rained a good shot as dark came again. Guess we are twice blessed!
Our roof is on, the deck to the large lanai is nearly complete and the finish work is just beginning. We have learned much to date and the old log will tell of many adventures and more importantly mis-adventures!
I hope this continuing log is of benefit to many as either entertainment or source of information... maybe both. Please, everyone, feel free to contact me directly should you desire... pslamont@yahoolcom
Just another day in P A R A D I S E !!

It is now May of 2007..... I can hardly believe this began Ocotber 2004. Progress has been miraculous. We now have goats and sheep, slaughtered all our pigs but will get more soon, have enough free range chickens to keep our family in fresh eggs with leftovers, produce most of our own green beans and lettuce and are learning more all the time. It has been a wonderous adventure and we would not change a thing. Every "failure" has been an adventure in learning and/or entertainemnt.
We have additionally added to our lives by praticipation in a special foster care program for at risk youth in a behavior modification program. We currently have a 14 year old boy that is a delight. Together we learn and together we laugh. We consider it our contribution to this new community that has given us so much.
We have been fortunate to reach out to many and have many reach out to us. We have seen the development of Punaweb as a site and maybe more importantly Punatics as a community that has come together to do all my dreams... share their knowledge, adventures, resources and good spirits. I thank you all for what you have brought here and to us personally.
The adventure continues.... Pam

I want to be the kind of woman that, when my feet
hit the floor each morning, the devil says
"Oh Crap, She's up!"
