Jim Nabors' home is being deconstructed by Re-use Hawaii. The property’s new owner intends to pay tribute to the Diamond Head estate known as “Hale Aloha” by replacing it with a comparable-style residence after wanting to renovate the old home but determining that it would cost as much or more than building something new. Many items in the old Nabors house will be salvaged for public resale, including a koa pool house bar, koa parquet floor panels, redwood lumber, green ceramic roof tiles, doors, windows, cabinets, appliances and vanities.
