I plan to build in either HOVE or Hawaiian Acres. I think Hawaiian Acres is mostly pahoehoe, but HOVE looks to be mostly a'a. I don't know how deep the a'a goes there. I would imagine if its too deep its not possible to just scrape it away. Also the footing need to be especially strong cuz it will have a heavy ferrocement structure on it. I should probably talk to a contractor or someone who has built there.
