Welcome, StillHope. This is a great group of people here. We've learned so much from them.
I'm just curious...given how inexpensive lots are in zone 3 these days, why build i zone 1? Of course, disaster can hit zone 3, too, but the chances are presumably lower.
Living in Puna is a risk no matter where we are. Hawaiian Paradise Park (zone 3) was covered with lava only 700 years ago. That's a blink of an eye in geologic time. But it sounds like zone 1 might keep you awake an night!
