YELLOW SUBMARINE!

During January it was clear that we were both missing the wonderful claw foot tub that was such a delightful feature of our Eureka house.

One evening Phil said, "Why don't you post a notice on Craig's List and see if you can find one."  I did so immediately thinking, as we have found that it never hurts to ask for what you want.  THE NEXT MORNING there was a reply from someone who was moving and had one, so I emailed back for details -- hoping it wasn't too far away for easy delivery.

WOW!!  Janet and Paul lived right here in Leilani Estates -- a few blocks away.  So we piled into the car and went to look at it.  We LOVED it, especially being painted yellow, so we said "YES" especially since we were assured of a delivery no less!  The bathroom in the new ohana addition will be designed to incorporate the tub -- which we can use too.

Since then, Janet, son Paddy, and Paul have become good friends, and since they have only moved to Hilo, we can see them regularly.  Paddy lives in a tree house here in Leilani that he built himself and is willing and qualified to help us with several building projects we want to do.
