Relocating to Puna
Wow, it's officially June. We are excavating and have to remove nearly 10 feet of soil from one side of the site. Friends from the less soil-rich areas are coming by with pick-up trucks and we are loading soil into the beds for them. It's fun to share.

The permit process is indeed frustrating. The building department said the permit would be out around Wednesday the 25th. It is still not out. My drafter phoned the department for me and was told the reviewer "took the week off so things are getting behind." My plans are on her desk awaiting her return. We have requested another person complete the review. We'll see how it goes...

Nate from So Cal, who has 6 very wild acres in Orchidland with an awesome cave, has been by and we are working together on a few small projects for him. His cave is actually an entry to one of the most famous lava tubes on the big island. Wish I could spell the name... starts with a K (but then doesn't nearly everything??) and runs from the volcano right down to the sea. It's about30 feet high. Amazing. Delightful young man, he is discovering the torturous work of digging in a lava-laden site.

Back to the Lamont Ranch....Hubby is here and having a pretty good time. He puttered around working on my fun (but old) jeep, scraping and painting and cleaning and such. Today I think he has planned some weed whacking if it's not raining and the great fete of setting out our mailbox. Of course, we don't actually get mail delivery... way too civilized an idea for this remote area... but a friend custom made a mailboz with a lovely seahorse and we're putting it up. At least it will make it even easier for people to identify our entry gate Smile.

The cabin continues to come along. We wanted to put in three sets of bunks but it just isn't going to happen. The ceilig in the downstairs is so low it looks like the Geico commercial, so it will sleep four instead of six downstairs. We are still considering putting in a couple of drop down bunks on chains. We'll see.... Chris is doing a fabulous job on things awaiting the start of framing the house.

We bbq out at the ranch for dinner most nights. It's good social time. Keeps us all on the same page and gives good cameraderie. Besides the food is wonderful.

Nancy F and her family came out and enjoyed a BBQ with us, along with new neighbors that are helping design and build the composting toilet system for the cabin and a seprate greenhouse style shower-house. I am providing them soil and mowing services, respectively. It's all a trade system and it's just great. I LOVE HAWAII!!

That's about it for nowl Have a great adventure either over here or in your dreams. Again, thanks for both your interest and continued support. Pam


Just another day in P A R A D I S E !!
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!"
