When you say that you are building the house over the concrete catchment, what do you mean?
Am coming over this summer.....is there anything to see on your property yet, and if so may I go see it?

With regard to the electrical and plumbing issues discussed above, the maker of the bamboo house said: "Our custom bamboo houses are prefabricated in Vietnam and shipped by container to the house site. The homebuyer prepares the foundation and
the house is then assembled.
The Plantation Hale on the Hamakua Coast was assembled in a week. Then the owner installs the final roofing material, and completes the house with local contractors and materials: doors, windows, decking, final floor, electrical, plumbing, cabinets and furniture.
At the time of the Open House, the owner had not yet installed the
electrical and plumbing, doors, windows, or final floors. The owner was waiting for the utility to extend the power lines to the house from the road.
We estimate these owner supplied costs on our website [Glen's note -- about $14,000 if you use a contractor], but how the
owner finishes the house can vary widely. For the Plantation on the
Hamakua Coast, the cost estimates are shown here:

So, I wonder
which model home the BI woman got and what her final cost was?
