Clerestories Now In!

Chris miscalculated how much lumber he needed to complete the renovation; he has sent an updated list of materials to David at HPM. So today Chris installed the clerestory windows in the back porch area. Originally they were opaque fiberglass awning; I had that changed to clear fiberglass awning when the new garage roof was installed. Now I am having them changed to impact-resistant fixed windows; I can see the tops of the ironwoods on the other side of the pasture & hope to see Iʻo perching in them! It will also let a lot more light in to the kitchen.

Fiberglass removed.
Impact-resistant windows installed!

Tony & Taren from Warmshowers.org stayed over last night; they left this morning. They headed to Spencer Beach Park for their last night of their vacation; they leave late on Wednesday night.

Packing up for ride to Spencer Beach Park.

Ken stopped by to check out the rocking chair I found in the back of the closet. In a couple of months he will work on making the chair more stable; he's got too many projects right now & no space to store it.

I went to Waimea in the afternoon to pay for the additional materials as well as the cabinets. I was able to pay for both things with the HELOC. Since delivery of the materials won't be until next Monday, Chris is switching to building a wheelchair ramp for a family friend for the rest of the week.

Kīlauea is still paused. But here are some photos from the webcams showing what is visible even in the paused state.


Hauʻoli lā Hānai e Glenn, Darrell, Sidnee, Bruce, Jon, & Alberto!
