Oh by the way we have been fortunate enough to provide services to 7out of 8 homes on the street with only a lot or two more to go. 👍
Construction Question: Are there facilities on the islands equipped to manufacture glass that large, or does it come from the mainland? Even if on the islands, probably not that island, so logistics has to play a big roll.

Windex, lots of Windex!

All from the mainland my friend. In addition we have had panels that are so large they do not fit into a container. Those panels will go on custom racks and placed out side of the barge. No insurance or guaranty available. If the glass breaks you start all over. Shipping of a crate of glass like that can be $50k alone. The stories and discussion on the costs would blow your mind.

So, did you sell enough to make it back for DS or SCFW? There has to be some kind of payoff for dealing with headaches like that.

...and damn, you really have to trust every trade involved, from the riggers on the mainland to the final installers.

Maybe Windward side too wet. How about Hawaii Kai? Not sure if the right house for you? Just rent it before you purchase. 😁

Rental?

Would you rather have a video?


Purchase?

This was an interesting one. They built at the wrong time for a spec home. Poor quality didn’t help. Forget the exact numbers but built value, bankrupt, resale at 50%. Then the gut for corrections. One of these days I have to do a coffee table book of the homes that span my 30 years. Had I know the significance of properties, owners and architects back when I started. Oh well life goes on….
