Lets talk about Hawaiian Acres...

[Dave M]

Thanks Touc,

Yeah, I was a bit bummed when I found out that they require the poles to be attached to concrete as opposed to sunk in the ground.

I wanted to in-case them in concrete. I got the poole house idea from www.polehouses.com/ they're located in Hawaii. But I was hoping to get around the attached to the concret pier thing. The thought of attaching a twenty foot pole to a pier with metal straps just seems to take away from the strength of the design. I know there is a concern about WDI (wood destroying insects).

The yurts I found were from a Company also located in Hawaii, Multi Factted something.

My thoughts were to sho my plans to Cat D or someone like that. I wasn't really in to buying a kit from either of the above companies.

If I was looking to build up the rock at a higher elevation I might even look at doing something with logs. But, I live in a pier & beam now and really don't plan to live on slab ever again. (Personal preference)

But yes you're right this ain't the mainland and I'm long way from getting any permits period. Thanks again, dave

Take care,
