Did you reach out to everyone and assuage their concerns before you built?
Well, actually, I had so much help, was so welcomed by the local community, and the house was eventually turned into a school for the kids in the valley. Literally, because of the humbug getting kids from the valley to school in Honokaa, and how much school was being missed because of inclement weather and the inability of folks to cross swollen rivers, I hired teachers from outside the valley to come in every day, weather permitting, got a permit from the state, and turned it into a local school.
And besides, the place was built on the banks of my lo'i. In the middle of a river bed. The whole valley floor is a river. So, you know, I doubt your concerns were shared.. but thank you for them.
