#13 Bob2, The Great Wall of Kapoho
When Kapoho becomes inundated again, an inevitable occurrence, one home will be among those to hold out the longest.
Like Bob1, Bob2 is encased in lava rock. A good start to hold out against a flow. However, more importantly Bob managed to locate a small high hill right in the center of the neighborhood to perch a home. A huge retaining wall holds the hill from spilling into the street.
All surrounding areas must be inundated first before lava rose to the level of the home.
Notice the rich red hues in the huge wall. Reds come from stone that was gathered directly from the East Rift Zone.
Unfortunately, it is primarily this wall that I must discuss since the home above is largely out of view.
It too features more lava rock and a pool area.
To further challenge himself on this project, Pettrici created a doomed lava rock outbuilding.
