Lessons you have learned building on the island
#6
Not so Punagirl!!!! Originally, it was ONE 20 ft container for the whole move, but then I discovered our surplus store, bought the tractor, and decided a 20 ft container would make for the enclosed portion of my utility shed....
The 2nd 20 footer was doing nicely for the furniture and few other items left for the big move in July and then last week I bought Sophie's pool, the PV system etc. The pool comes on 4 pallets and a 4x8x5 box.

As for your tile, hmmmmmmm, last paid $.52sf, that would be 4 of yours. Guess you'll have to show/discuss with my Boss.

BTW for purpose of this discussion: I have found Kona pricing at Lowes is usually more than Atlanta. Hilo/Kona Home Depot pricing can be same/higher or surprisingly even lower. My genset was actually $50 cheaper. The prices are easily compared by getting the SKU# locally and calling the BI store.Be sure and confirm availability. I still fume recalling my drive to Kona HD last summer to buy my French doors only to learn some "selfish" mainlander had come in unexpectedly 2 days earlier and bought everyone in stock. Well, not every one, she did leave the most expensive one and the damaged one. Local stores such as HPM and Del's can be cheaper than HD on some items. For my building material prices, HPM included delivery.
