Getting the Bamboo House to our property

The house took about one month to get from Vietnam to Hawaii, once they were finished putting it together and taking it apart... Then it goes through customs, which took a few extra days, then over to us...

Usually the container is brought directly to the work site, but because of our location, and a few hard turns, a 40 foot container couldn't make it to our property.


Todd, our foreman/contractor, let us off load it on his property and reload onto a smaller truck.


These panels are very solid, very heavy, especially the doors.


There were perhaps 10 guys total..


including Shaun, and friends Ruben and Ray


I think they made 3-4 trips to get our house to the property...


Even in a smaller truck we had to be mindful of over hanging power lines while driving.


Once at the building site, it is all off loaded and stacked in piles according to where that piece goes...
