The Waikapu Au Hoon Hale

One of our life long goals and dreams was to buy a house together and we found the most perfect opportunity to do so with divine intervention! We are so happy to have a brand new home of our own. In fact this was one of the catalysts to being ready for marriage as we wanted to have our foundation first.

We had a big spring project and ordered a whole truck of Hawaiian Cement for our patio, sidewalk, and foundation of our retaining wall!

We are ready to do the back yard irrigation and grass / landscaping! Slowly but surely this project is on its way! We already finished planting ti leaf down our whole retaining wall we built and we planted some lehua, ginger, and palapalai already too!

We are so happy that our native plants are doing so well here. We know we have a few mamo lehua plants and can't wait to see what other colors our lehua plants blossom into!

We finished our back yard irrigation and landscaping and turned on the sprinklers for the first time on April 7th! We love the upgrade having "golf course" grass for our keiki to play on one day!
