Default Re: Old Cars in Hawaii

There were a lot of narrow gauge locomotives in the sugar cane fields that are now solid blocks of red rust. I helped a friend of mine replace a water heater there. There is in enough sea water in the fresh water that the hot water heaters don't last more than a few years. Hawaii is a great place to live if you are a plant.

That must be why all the termites are there.......


Termites thrive off of the wood that supports the structural integrity homes and businesses, causing more than $100 million in structural damage each year in Hawaii alone, according to the University of Hawaii at Manoa.
