Big Island of Hawai’i projects

March 4th, 2009 · No Comments

Here’s a start to a multi-post blog regarding a recent construction project I was involved in.  Back at the end of January I departed the dismal winter weather of home and headed to the big island of Hawai’i.  Along with Mark and Yogi, we set off with a couple of goals.  First we were to build a farm-workers quarters that would ultimately provide us with cover from the wind and rain.  We employed a modified timber frame construction using Western Red Cedar, Alaskan Yellow Cedar and Port Orford Cedar.  What a treat to have such great materials to work with.  After we finished the basic structure we were on to are main goal.  We needed to enclose the bottom of a timber frame building we assembled a few years ago and make it into a finished space.  I will address each of these structures and methods over the next few post.  In the meantime, enjoy some of the scenery.

Aloha & Mahalo,

Merle
