At the end of September, I moved into a cute free-standing studio in the village of Volcano.  It's a scant 2.5 miles from my office so the commute is great, especially in my Rav4 which arrived a little over a week ago.  It's in a space carved out from the wet forest so there are tree ferns all over the yard. 

Here's the interior from the front door.  Yes, it really is just one big room, though the bar in the kitchen offers a nice division.  I obviously still need real furniture, but I'm making due in the meantime.  The tiny bathroom is through the middle door where you can see the sink.  The closet is the door on the left.  The one cool feature you can't see is the heating stove/fireplace that would be on the right-hand wall (which is about 4' from where the picture ends.  It throws an amazing amount of heat and creates a nice ambience...as I sit in my camp chair.

 There is one additional finished room that is outside behind the kitchen.  For now it's good storage, but when the time comes, it will make a handy and comfortable guest room (hint, hint).
