Aloha,
My husband and I just closed escrow on property in HPP...(YES!!!!) and we are still trying to figure out the structural material for the house. Hopes and wants are being over turned by costs! By the looks of the material cost estimates that I have received thus far, our budget will be stretched...so wood maybe our only option. Thus, could anyone specify which wood species tend to be more termite resistant? As write that I am realizing that Hotzcats was most likely referring to finish wood and not structural house components. Any input would be most appreciated.
Mahalo,
