Well here goes. The first picture was taken 11 years ago when re rebuilt our house. If you have never been involved in building a brand new house, from tearing down the old one through getting the new one finished, you don’t know what you are missing. It was an experience I will never forget. There was wood all over. The second photo shows about the only wood at our bus facility in Kalihi. The last photo I wanted to share to show what someone painted on the wooden wall around the construction of the new Entrance for the Honolulu Zoo. I think it is fantastic. I hope you enjoy.

  4. This is my first visit to your site and I feel like I just stepped into a tropical paradise, I love it. Your photos are great that zoo wall is really cool

  5. Well… we never tore a house down — but we built this one from scratch – and it was a lot of FUN! Sort of. It took our builder 9 months to build our 3 month house. Don’t ask… I’ve gotten over it! LOL!

    I LOVE that wall! Isn’t that just sO much better than plain wood?

  6. So far we haven’t had the pleasure(?) of tearing down or building.

    Love that painting!

  7. What interesting and SUNNY photos! I like each one!

  8. That wall is beautiful! Enjoyed your photos and post. I hope the weather is not giving you lots of trouble today—I heard about the warning for Hawaii on the news this morning.

  9. These are great!! Thank you so much for joining us!

  10. I love coming here and seeing photos of things I know — although your house does look a bit different these days.

  11. these are nice shots. love the painted wall

  12. Three great photos Thom! That bus stop is too cute.

  13. Wow, a wooden wall, very cute. We only get boring brick, cement or stucco usually

  14. Hahaha, why didn’t I think of all the wood that goes into building a house!? Great idea! There’s no telling how much lumber went into the framing of our new house and now more wood is going to be delivered for the trimwork and cabinets! Love that colorful wall!

    • I tell you it is something else to have a house built and be there through every step. Our contractors were so sick of me LOL. Glad you enjoyed :)

  15. Rebuilding looks like lots of work. The mural is great.
