With our fabulous contractor we designed and built a wood shop/studio for Phil (below) and a one bedroom apartment (top) on the existing cement pad. We have had fun with friends and guests staying in the furnished ohana.
Very little had been done to the one acre, so we began to create beds using lava rock dug out from the property. We are surrounded by beautiful ohia tree forest.
We planted fruit trees, gardens, raised beds, and enhanced the area around our rain water catchment tank. We also have a "shade house" where we grow many vegies.
We turned a "spare room" into a light and airy art studio where Phil added book cases. This is only one-half of this spacious room -- Lunel's art space is the other half, featuring a large hammock, another set of book cases, large art table, pantry, and double bed for short term guests -- an an unobstructed view of acres of forest -- no neighbors in sight!
Although we are very proud of our 10,000 catchment water-wealth, we also felt it needed some beautification. Other completed projects include the addition of the carport with 24x24' deck on top, and the beautiful lanai where we enjoy our cedar hot tub with a 180-view or the surrounding forest.
Happy 2-Years!! |
