Reality Hits

Hi everyone!
Bought land in Honokaa Big Island 2018 January.
2018 March, volcano erupted.
2018 August big storm hits BigIsland...

So much has happened.
I have found nice architect online, after $9500, fee for the plan.
turns out that we don't have enough $$ to build home : (
$175,000 initial plan has doubled.


I have hired fence man to build a  pig fence around lot perimeter,
due to neighbor telling me, my tiny dog "Anni" can be charged by aggressive wild pig.  My gardner somehow orders fence man to cut all the trees?!  by accident.  Some thought of misunderstanding. 

When I went to check to see the completion of the fence, all my tress were gone!!
All 20+ beautiful trees. I was about to faint.
I wished it was just a bad dream..
Now I have pile of dead trees lying down on half of my lot, taller then myself.
They said it will cost $7500 to remove it..

My gardener said don't waste money on the dead tree.
I've asked him " then, what do I do?"  He said "let it compost"
I said, " how long it will take till get composted?"  He said, " Honokaa rains a lot,
so kind of fast.. 10 years. ".....  I will be almost 70 years old to see
my lot free from dead trees, if I am still alive and
if it keep raining steadily... but someone told me,
" Oh no, that kind of big trunk, not even 15 years will do.. "

So what do I do?
I realized I need to be there.
I can't watch things go wrong from Pacific Ocean in between us.
I was going to move there for simple life.
Simple, minimal life..

"Yes!"  I got an idea!  "I am going tiny"!!
I've called my husband and asked, " Can I buy a tiny house?"
"Click"sound.   He hanged up on me... My husband is 6'2"...sigh.
