Building a house is like being in the Army. "Hurry up and wait" is what goes on a lot. But the good news is that our forms are almost complete; the electric and plumbing lines are in trenches and roughed in inside what will be the house; and the solar electric lines are done, and all have been inspected, as well. Next week we treat for termites, seal up the ground, get yet another inspection, and then we can move forward to the Holy Grail for me- Pouring the slabs. After they're in, the "hurry up" part comes into play when they start framing in the main house and the master suite. I can hardly wait for that!
Immediately below is a video of my carload full of orchids that are now placed around our property. Next are pictures of the construction progress. Then there is a series of still shots of many of the orchids that have been blooming on our land since Robert and I arrived in Hawaii on January 9th. Enjoy, aloha!

This is my favorite on our land! We bought it in a tray of unmarked orchids with no flowers, and surprise, a year later, it's a beautiful one!
