Pat and Makai:
That's for your comments. They were helpful. Lately I've come to the conclusion I'm wasting my days working jobs I don't like to buy things I don't need. My goal is to untangle myself from the corporate web and live a life closer the what Thoreau described in Walden. From what I've read, particularly on this website, Puna might be the place. Seems like I might find some sympathetic souls there. I guess my concern was that building codes might steer me back into the corporate economy (sheet rock walls, mowed lawns, and the rest.)
Pat: I have a daughter who lives in Haines, AK, in a yert. She's starting an herbal tea company (wild Alaskan herbs.) Some of her friends winter in Hawaii, so she was quite excited and supportive when I told her of my plans.
