I have recently started hearing about multi-businesses around me.

Has anyone else heard of multi-business stories ？

Please share any such cases you have heard of.

Lee, it's time to give it up. If you engage in any more conversations, it's like me declaring to you that I'm not smart enough. It's like self-declaring that you are.

Did you have biometrics ？
A friend of mine in another state didn't seem to have corona until recently and used fingerprints and photos from the last 10 years.
Is biometrics common in Hawaii ？?

We went through the renewal process right after the beginning of February.
Biometrics said they would contact us in 4-5 months when we had an appointment, so we kept waiting.
We finally heard from them last week and they said the end of July. It has been a long road for us.
Still 4 weeks to go until completion....
I am glad to see that the situation is improving, though I wonder if the people who applied first are being put off.

FYI koco53

I applied online 6/8.
I received two letters on 6/15, one （ I-797 ） says "this letter is valid for 12 months even if you don't receive your green card" and the other （ I-797C ） says "no biometrics required but no refund of fees It said, "No biometrics required, but no refund of fees".　
I checked the status online and it was "Card produced".
I received my green card successfully on 6/18.

I received my green card in 10 days after I applied.
I received my green card in 10 days after I applied, but it may be because I missed the expiration date by accident and applied after the expiration date.

Your information has been very helpful.
I guess the difference between applying in the same Hawaii and having biometrics with or without biometrics for a difference of a few months is the difference in the Corona Disaster. I was really relieved to know that even if I don't receive the card, the letter that will be mailed to me will be valid for 12 months.
Thank you very much for telling me ！ ！ koco53

I am a resident of Los Angeles. We are looking to move to Oahu.
Since we are moving to a small condo, we would like to get rid of all our furniture and only need about 20-30 cardboard boxes for two couples.
If you have any recommendations for movers, please share the information ？

We would appreciate any advice from those who have moved from the mainland US.

I moved from California four years ago. It cost me less than $3,000 with Kuroneko Yamato for 50 boxes of cardboard boxes with no furniture. When I called to request an estimate, I did not get a good response, but the Japanese person who came to estimate and move me was very nice. The estimate from another major Japanese company was twice as much, $6,000.
Yamato's moving department withdrew from Hawaii, so after our belongings arrived in Hawaii, island mover company carried them. I know it is hard to move across the ocean, but good luck.

Everywhere is under the hot sun in the morning ….

Regarding popcorn sealing

I was thinking of moving and looking at condo listings in central Waikiki.

When I came to Hawaii, I didn't know about it and lived there, but
along the way, a friend told me about it and informed me of the dangers of popcorn sealing.
They said it was a ceiling treatment that contained asbestos, and that if you touched it in any way, or on a dry day, the powder would fly around and if you inhaled it, you would get lung cancer.

The room we looked at this time had a popcorn ceiling, but
the owner was trying to rent it without explaining that at all, so we are not going to rent it.

Many of the condos in Waikiki have popcorn ceilings, so if you are going to rent a condo, I would recommend that you find a place with a clean ceiling and sign a contract to avoid health hazards.

I was looking for a long term rental in Royal Kuhio and asked a lot of questions to a private owner who advertises property rentals on Vivinavi.

I told him about the asbestos in the ceiling and suddenly he stopped responding.

Many people rent without telling me about the asbestos.

It's true that asbestos drifts
through the air in invisible fine powder, so before you know it, it's drifting through the air from the ceiling
and making the floor rough.

Families with children should
definitely not have a popcorn ceiling.

Or you should tell your landlord and ask him to remove the popcorn ceiling.

＃ 14 Salt Damaged Steel Frame

I am also very concerned.

The collapsed condo in Florida seems to have used materials and cost savings in cutting corners.

Condos over 40 years old are a concern.

The fact that the land was swampy probably had an impact.

I have heard that in Honolulu, the land in Waikiki and Kakaako is reclaimed land, but I wonder if it is safe ？

Real estate will make it harder to sell older condos.

There was a time in the 1970s when Japanese general contractors were rushing to Hawaii.
At that time, condos in Waikiki managed by Japanese companies had well-constructed piles and foundations
and the columns were well calculated structurally, so there were no problems.
Condos built by an American construction company have strength problems.

The percentage of popcorn ceilings containing asbestos ranges from 1% to 10%.
I used to work for a law firm specializing in asbestos litigation.
However, the lung cancer rate is high only for long-term exposures, especially for smokers, who are five to ten times more likely to develop lung cancer than nonsmokers.
Unless you break a ceiling, the amount of asbestos in the air will be next to none.
The chance of getting lung cancer after a few EXPOSURE of asbestos is close to zero.
Vigilance is of course necessary, but there is no need to be more vigilant than necessary.

How much does it cost to replace a roof in Hawaii ？?

This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

I think it totally depends on the size, roofing materials, etc.
Most places will give you an estimate for free, so I think it's best to get
estimates from a few companies to be sure.
You can also read reviews on Yelp and other websites
so I think that would also be a good reference.

Regardless of race, I feel that too many people from Japan, with a few exceptions, are Grumpy and have bad personalities.
If they were in Japan, they would be buried because everyone is like that, but if they were in Hawaii, everyone would hate them.
People from Japan are "nervous", "only think about using others to their own advantage", "don't accept opinions that deny them even a little", "can't discuss", "always expressionless", "no love for others"
When they are hated for that, they say "Hawaii is no good" or "Hawaii is not good". I'll start saying.
Your personality is causing pain to those around you, so please realize it as soon as possible.
Please abandon modern Japanese values.

hmmm, that's a narrow view. I'm a guy myself, but wanting to do it is rather secondary.
There are many other things I want to do, such as discussing and exchanging information.
I think it's a very small percentage of people who only think about doing things ？
I think it's stupid to take a few prominent opinions and say "all men are like that ！".

She is a relatively new friend whom I met after moving to Hawaii, but whenever I have a question （ I want to ask her, such as how to write in English or how to do something ）, she asks me a lot of questions at all hours. I try to help her by texting her questions, but she never reads my questions about her specialty. When I helped her with school procedures for her relatives, it took a long time for no reason even though I asked for a report on the results.

I understand that I am an idiot for responding so earnestly, and I know I shouldn't have high expectations, but I feel like I'm not doing enough. I don't think I'm doing anything to make people hate me, but I'm feeling ashamed that I'm being taken advantage of. I would like to know if you have had similar experiences and still continue to be friends ？ I would like to know how to casually keep my distance from them even if they ask me questions.
