Congratulations!
We will start building next year, and while I have lined up a Kahuna for a house blessing, I really don't want to look stupid/uninformed/disrespectful because I don't know the process.
When do you get the blessing? We are building a kit home, and the roof will go many months before the house is habitable. Should we get one blessing as we disturb the land, another when the roof goes on, and another when we move in?
Also, no one will tell me what adequate compensation to the Kahuna should be. I doubt cash would offend, but what price range?
Any details on the whole blessing process would most welcome.
I'm so happy for you and wish I were on the island next week to celebrate with you -
