How to Build an Island Dream House With $15,000, 12,000 screws, and one blessing from a local chieftess, Alex Sheshunoff and Sarah Kalish built a dream house on oceanfront property in Palau.
Jumping into the ocean was the easy part but getting out was trickier. Here, Darren Sabom and Butch Allen brave sharp rocks to install a ladder. Concrete, not surprisingly, doesn't dry well underwater. After the ladder was swept away by a wave we got much better at scrambling up the rocks. —Alex Sheshunoff
