Man o man, it's gonna look SO good by the time you are finally done. I'm in awe of your many talents, Keone! And your Mom is blessed to have you as a son! I enjoy working w/ my hands, too.
Believe it or not, I worked construction back in the mid 80's...I wore a hard hat, and steel tipped shoes, and I was the only woman working w/ big crews of men. I worked w/ all of the trades...pipefitters, electricians, and I even did a little welding, but my fave was the acetelyne torch.
Yeah Baby, it should look real good I'm doing it all for my "Mommy" who's 75. She did so much for me & still is...she deserves my very best work. My ex-father-in-law was 1 of Hawaiian Dredging's best carpenters, he did a long stint on his own building custom-made houses. I was a helper, mostly for stocking materials while he & Gary-Boy did the building part. I also operated all his rented heavy equipment, & drove trucks...
3 3/8" according to my measuring tape...I need to create the illusion of the structure as being straight. My mom doesn't have the resources to square off the house with the `Ohana Unit/Garage, so it's up to me to blend the buildings together and create
storage space for my mom's stuff so I can open up my shop next year.

We lost Kalahikiola Church to this Earthquake as well as the Smokestack
for the Hawi Mill...was heart wrenching for
me being a Big Island Boy w/roots here in North Kohala.
