Hi Dave,
Thanks for the container tips, although the wife would bury me in one before we live in it ;-).
Interesting thread, lots of good information; Given the high cost of labor and material in Hawaii, it seems a compelling argument to buy a pre-built packaged home in Canada or somewhere else where the costs are less and put it up yourself, especially for the Novice.
I’ve been talking to a guy at http://www.greystokes.com, they seems to be interested in the Hawaiian market and currently developing packages customized to Hawaii, both to the wet and dry sides using treated lumber for termites etc and plans specific to Hawaii county code. He claimed to have 4 clients in Hawaii that he is currently working with.
The guy promised me three reference sites in New York that I can visit and get a feel of their packages.
