Kim - I grew up in Buffalo, New York...I so relate to the snow thing. I got outta there as soon as I could and went all the way to Southern California. I went back ONE Christmas and that was all it took to convince me that was NOT the climate for me LOL!
There are people who build guest houses and then stay in them...there are people who stay in tents and RV's and rent other properties while they build. I guess it's about what they feel they can put up with while their dream home is being built hahahaha! For us, we just couldn't do the building a house thing after so long rennovating our home here in Tempe, AZ to sell, so we found a little home in Hawaiian Shores Rec area...just was easier for us. If you go to the Building in Puna forum, you will be amazed at the slideshows you can watch of people who are currently building their homes...Wyatt in Kalapana Seaview, Dave & Sophie on the Hamakua Coast - Ninole...among several others...it's so much fun to watch their hard work pay off!
Also take a look at taildrag's work...so much fun to watch...and Royall & Cathie too
Aloha!
Carrie
