We are considering Refacing our kitchen cabinets.

I would have to get a quote from a

contractor for the type of cabinet and the size of the doors, but

I wanted to know the approximate cost.

The doors are 9 large and 9 small . and there are about 8 drawers.

Also, please let us know if you have any recommendations.


Also, please let us know if you have any suggestions.

Thank you.

I think it's work that doesn't require a license, so a handyman would be good.
I once hired a general contractor I met through Vivinavi, but I was surprised at the number of pastors and other amateur ojis who came to do the work on a side job. 
I don't recommend general contractors looking for work on Vivinavi.

> General contractors here, Japanese, are sarcastic bitches if you don't come and hire an estimator.

I had a similar experience via gigwork. They didn't even show up, and when I politely declined after exchanging a few emails with them, I received a reply with a threatening tone.
Tell me all your personal information, give me the name of where you work, etc...
(don't you hire me? What was all that effort in emailing back and forth? I understand what you mean, but I was surprised that we didn't even get a quote in the initial stages.

I was so scared and angry that I thought about alerting them or reporting them to Vivinavi at the time, but the fear got the better of me and I just ignored the email.
It was a few years ago, but if anyone has any ideas, please improve this situation.
I thought that this kind of way would get me in trouble someday...

I have a question about tax returns, the SSN on the 2020.2021 and w-2 forms is different from my SSN, and when I told my company's accountant, he told me that the company cannot change it, and the accountant I am asking for is throwing me under the bus, so I don't know what to do.
I would appreciate your help.

You'd have to call them yourself or hire a lawyer
I mean, how could the tax office and the city accept it when the numbers are different?

Since you asked for it, I will explain.

If tax returns are simply processed based on accurate information,
tax pro is not necessary, so we are frequently asked about such matters
and have recently processed a similar case.

This is clearly a processing error within the company issuing the W-2.
In other words, when the company issued the W-2, it was processed with the wrong SSN number.
This is a so-called input error. ( If there is no mistake in processing,
side declaration will be Rejected when E File is done. }

If the tax return is based on an effective W-2,
the return will be accepted and processed as long as there are no discrepancies
in the company, income, and social security numbers in the IRS beta base.

> The accountant I'm hiring is throwing it all at me

This is not a tax return processing issue, so even if I ask the accountant to process it
I assume this means that unless there is a mistake on the W-2 filed, I cannot correct it.
I think you mean that unless there is a mistake in the W-2 submitted, you cannot correct it.
I am responding directly to your email address, so if you have any additional questions, please
contact me.

Dear Tax man
Thank you for your prompt reply.
I myself used to file on a 1099 form, but at the end of 2020 I changed to a new employer and started filing on a w-2 form, and at the end of 2021 the company system changed to paperless and I discovered that my SSN is different.
I'm going to call the IRS, but I'm not sure if I'll be connected to a person right away ? (I'm often put on hold for 30 minutes or more by a machine voice at public institutions ? )

Recently, when I take my car to an authorized dealer

for regular maintenance,

I feel like I am being ripped off by the dealer.

Well, it is a big problem in Japan now, but

I still feel some resistance when I am told by Americans.

I also feel uncomfortable taking them to Latino and Korean factories in the suburbs of LA.

I know there are several Japanese repair shops around Torrance, but

do you have any recommendations?

There are a lot of information in magazines, etc. and I am quite worried.

If there are any reliable repair shops near LA, please exchange information.

OK Mr.

Yes, I am buying a new car and if it breaks it will be repaired with warranties.
So, I've never had one break in 3 years, but if it does, I'm fine with it. And I often hear from people I know about the used car issue, but I want to hear as little as possible. I'm not a repairman. I don't want to make other people's problems my problems.

Most Japanese cars sold in North America are produced in the US, Canada and Mexico.
Some models are only sold in North America.
BMW and Mercedes Benz are both produced in the US.
Even Tesla is produced in China.
Even cars produced in Japan, 9X% of the parts are made in Japan, the rest are in other countries.
A little bit of quality can't be helped. Nothing in this world is perfect.
What is important is which company makes the parts.
In the past, Toyota's Avalon used parts from AC Delco.
It was the worst.
Now even American cars use Denso, Aisin, Hella, Brembo.
By the way, even Takata, which had the world market share, went bankrupt after 67 million airbag leakage cols.
Now is the era of Global Manufacturing.
The famous Apple is a fabless company.
We have trade-in companies in China and India producing our products.
Times have changed.
Even if you are not familiar with engineering, if you were a respectable member of society, you would know about the world's economy ?.

先月、インプラントの手術をしましたが、その後、ねじ周りが感染を起こしてしまったらしく、痛みがひどい状態です。
レントゲンには、ねじ周辺に影が写っています。
しかし、歯科医は、それは感染ではないといいます。

依然として、痛みはおさまらないので、他の歯科医にセカンドオピニオンをもらいにいきました。そちらでは、「感染を起こしている。これでは、骨とくっつかない」と言われました。

歯科医がうその言い訳をして、インプラントのやり直し等に応じない場合、アメリカには、通報するような機関があるのでしょうか?
歯科医の失敗を責めるつもりはありませんが、善意ある対処をしてもらえないことに、憤慨しています。

特に、感染しているのは、他のスタッフたちも薄々気づいているほど、明らかな事実であるのに、自分の保身のためか、虚偽の説明を繰り返す歯科医の行為は、ライセンスに影響する行為だと考えます。

普通の医師と同じように、Medical Bordに苦情の申し立てをする所があるはずです。
でも、ここに通告したとしても、トピ主さんには直接何の保障が出る訳ではありません。

まず、インプラントをした医師に引き続き治療して、やり直しをしてもらいたいのか、
他のところで治療をして、インプラントした医師から損害賠償をしてもらいたいのか、
どうするかを決めて、医療専門のロイヤーに相談しては如何でしょうか?

私もインプラントは3回やりましたが、2回はやり直しをしています。
ですので、やり直しは結構よくあることなのだと思います。
もちろん、一定期間の間にやり直す時は手術費は無料と言う契約をしていますので、追加費用はそれほど掛りません。
インプラントをする時は、やり直しの時の費用をカバーしてくれる歯科医の所が安心ですね。
歯科医もやり直しをしたい分けでは無いので、それなりに腕も信用出来ると思います。

私がインプラントのやり直しをした時は、勿論術後直ぐは痛みが当然ありますが、
1ヶ月もするとそれほど痛みも無くなり、一見順調に回復しているように見えましたが、
インプラント後の次のクラウンを付ける前の処置の段階(約半年後)でインプラントにキャップを付ける時に痛みがあり、
そのインプラントは抜いて、そこにボーングラフトをしました。
ですので、インプラントを抜いた直後は、初めのインプラントの手術の時と同様の痛みはあります。

痛みに関しては個人差があり、私は痛みに強い方だと思いますので、
痛み止めも、最初のインプラントをした歯医者はコデイン系統の強い痛み止めを処方しましたが、薬の方が強すぎてフラフラになったので、最初の2-3日服用後は、普通のアドビルのような痛み止めに替えました。(抗生物質は同じものを続けて服用しました)
他の歯科医では、痛み止めはアドビルだけというところもあいります。

お話を読む限りでは、やはりその歯科医の対応には問題があると思います。

ただ、やり直しをするのであれば、何処でやってもそれなりの痛みはありますので、その辺は覚悟が必要です。

老人になると手術の負担が大きいです。

I've been saving for a down payment for a few years to buy a house in Torrance or thereabouts.

Last year, real estate prices seemed to have leveled off a bit, so I was wondering if they would go down this year, but I've been looking at SOLD prices for the past few months and they seem to be higher than before.
And when they go on sale, they are PENDING a week later.
Maybe it will still go up?

Even if I hoard downpayments, the price goes up and I can't buy it after all~.
More and more I can only buy in remote areas ~ ( Tears ).

# 24 As Hiro and # 30 say, there may already be wiring, but what is important is the amperage of the electric appliances to be installed. If you have to change the wire thickness according to the amperage, installation work will be required.

# 32 Electrician, # 33 Where, the city electric company is responsible for the wiring work from the electric lid or pole to the meter near the electrical panel of the house. Basically it is free, but in some cases you may have to apply to the city hall for electrical installation and inspection, and they will charge you a fee. So, I think the $2,000 to $ $3,000 in the estimate is for the replacement of the electrical panel and the application fee.

"Dear Electrician"

Upgrade work from 100 amps to 200 amps, I had this done last year. It was a full day job with 3 electricians and 2 helpers. It also takes time to get a permit from the city and call an inspector. ( This is a must )

The procedure is :
1 ) Contact Edison and have them remove the electric meter ring and put a construction permit sticker on it.
2 ) Get a construction permit from the city. ( I needed an Edison sticker. )
3 ) Have Electrician replace the pole on the roof and the outside panels with new ones.
4 ) Call an inspector from the city and get a certificate of completion of the work.

I think the permit is $ about 300 and the payment to the electrician is $ about 5000, depending on the city.
