May 27, 2010: The Walls are Up (well, some of them!)

All kinds of fun! And that's just two walls... wait til the weekend, when all the guys are working!

Oh, and the head supervisor was on site again...

May 22, 2010: Full Speed Ahead!

The guys finished placing the joists, put in the floor beams and cross beams on the side lanai, and put up the 6x6's on the makai side and front. Lots of very detailed, beautiful construction going on here! Jeff Ho'okano, the roofer, came by to consult with Jon regarding the roofing to be started Monday on the existing house, and Calvin Lam, the painter, came by to check what needed to be sealed in the lanai area.

Start of day...




We watched Charlie using this aMAZing tool to set the nails!


The head supervisor was on-site today, checking out the work.




It's starting to shape up quite nicely!


Oh, and Charlie even had enough time after work to check out the surf report!

May 16, 2010: Filling the Holes!

With the CMUs complete, Jerard Chee backfilled the holes. So we have before...


...and after! And the space between the two CMU walls is for stairs. Pretty Grand!


And another boss visited today as well, Rodney's boy James.
