Question about ADU's
Has anyone used the ADU system to build an addition or separation to their back yard ?
I am planning to build an addition to my house from the ADU program and would like some advice from someone who has done it before.

Please help me !.

As far as I know, a city inspector is coming to inspect the property to make sure it is "as directed by the city" and "you are not allowed to sleep over until that inspection is completed". I have heard that "you are not allowed to sleep over until the inspection is completed". However, this information is very old and may have changed.

However, City of Los Angeles is very strict against illegal construction, so if you are planning to renovate your house in this area, please check the city website thoroughly.

I made it last year.
To be clear, it is very expensive and time consuming.
$ 300- $ 600/1 sqft, so 500 sqft 1bd 1ba will cost $ 150k-300k.
Still, if I can rent a 1bd 1ba for $ 1800/mo or so, I'd be happy to turn around a 10%+ yield.

I thought $ you could get 2500 for 1Bed1Bath ?. Because it would include utilities and parking (or street parking in front of the house). Even renting a room in a house is expensive, but 1800 is not cheap $ for a separate house ? I wonder what the market rate is.

Please be aware that the PSYCHIC who calls out to you in or near Beverly Center that your head is foggy is a scammer. I live on Melrose. There used to be a store on Third Street but no longer. I was told to prepare $ 500, roses and a raw egg for a ritual called exorcism and to sleep with them for a week.
A mysterious reading began saying God is listening to you. One of the questions asked me how much I had saved and told me to prepare for the next time, $ 2800, 28 years old, because I was 28 years old. I went into the store with everything recorded on my phone and investigated ahead of time.
I started to overreact to the theatrical reading and the bill was ripped in half ! I was so surprised, then with a yelp ! I broke a raw egg and a little black snake came out. I know it was a trick, but I couldn't figure it out the whole time I was watching. I was so surprised when the back door was slammed with more and more bangs ! and I had to go and I was staring at the little snake coiled around the snake the whole time I was gone, but it was so vivid I couldn't really tell if it was a puppet or not. After that, I was told that the torn cache and snake would be taken to the church and the show was over. Looking back, I had no knowledge that I could take the bill I had torn in two to the bank, stick it on, and put it back together if I could use it. I felt like I had been cheated
out of a cheap theatrical show. The look on his face when I told him I only had 100 in my property $ lol I should have just collected the torn bill and left. Later, when I was shopping at the Beverly Center, a young girl approached me in the same manner with a PRADA bag and a feathered look. I asked her about it and she said your head is clouded. She said something about a guy who wasn't good for you, and I thought, "Oh, this is one of his guys. The girl must have been calling somewhere and gave him my description. Why did you listen to her in the short message? I got a message like you are my client and I knew it was a scam and I sent her a message saying you are a liar and that was the end of it. I ran into someone who got scammed around and $ paid about 3000. He said he paid but nothing happened.
I can't forgive him for trying to cheat a genuine Japanese person by putting an ad in a Japanese-American newspaper ! I can't forgive him for being a fraudulent psychic who wears branded goods and lives a life with a cool air and looks like he has a good sense of humor.

It has nothing to do with the elderly, but when I was a kid, which was about 10 years after the end of the war, model trains were very popular.

They were what we would call O-gauge now, with three rails, and my parents had a model shop (now a dead word, too?) where they sold them with freight cars. \My parents bought me one model of a freight car at a model shop.

I was so happy with it that I would 'just' roll it around on the table or on my desk.

I woke up in the morning and as I was walking to the bathroom I was struck with vertigo.
I feel wobbly and the scenery around me is moving and I feel unbalanced.
Last night, feeling tired, I ate something sweet and stayed up late even though I was sleepy, and when I went to bed around 2 am, I felt dizzy and went to bed thinking I must be tired. When I woke up this morning and got up, I felt the same and the scenery around me was moving, I am worried.
I looked it up and found that I have eye fatigue, earaches, etc....
If anyone has any experience with this or has been to a hospital, I would be very grateful if you could tell me what to do. Thank you for this opportunity.

#1039 Bono-chan

Is it the so-called "dizziness"?

Since you wrote in the "Elderly" topic, I assume that "Bono-chan" is an elderly person. I will reply as far as I know.

Do you usually eat nutritious food? Do you eat a lot of vegetable salads?

Please make sure you get a good night's sleep, as lack of sleep can affect your body's condition. If you "stay up late," you need to change that habit. This may be the toughest part.

It's a common recommendation, but lead a "regular" life.

If you don't have solid health insurance, take even more care of yourself.

Living a disorderly life far from Japan, without insurance, can be fatal.

I am sorry for saying such a thing.

We have been looking for a 5 tier display set of any kind, in good condition. Would love to know of a place that sells dolls in America or a family who is willing to offer a price. Please message me!

I want to do composting in my yard, do you have any recommendations ?

I mainly put vegetable scraps and fruit peels.

I'm thinking of getting a rotary one, but I'm not sure. Can I keep putting them in ? I feel like if I do, the unsoiled stuff will stay forever.

I live in OC. It seems like there are programs where you can take your food scraps somewhere or have them collected at home and get soil, but so far I have no plans to get anything back into the soil from the compost.

I use a rotary composting system, but the food scraps fill up quickly, so I bury them in the soil in my backyard.
It seems to take about 3 months to complete composting. I don't put all my food scraps in the garbage, so it fills up quickly, but other houses may not accumulate that much food scraps. I have peach, citrus, and other fruit trees at home, so I dig holes around them and bury them. The compost has a partition in the center, and there are two rooms, one for food scraps and the other for composting in progress, and it is rotated daily to circulate oxygen, but it generates flies, so now I bury it directly in the soil and let the worms break it down for fertilizer.

Thanks Sunshine ! I knew it was worm ! !

I've been looking into this but we have limited space for a field and I was thinking it would be difficult to make a compost section in addition, but I just saw on Instagram I just found out on Instagram that Dollar Tree has a wire trash can that you can bury in the soil and put cardboard pieces and food scraps in it.

At least it doesn't cost much, so I'll give it a try !

I see the rotary one has two layers ! I still think burying it in the dirt might be better for me, since I don't want flies coming in.

I don't want to put it under the eaves because I have to keep it out of the rain after all, like cardboard composting 😓

Fortunately, we have worms in our small field, so I'll ask them to move out a bit from there.

I don't know why on instagram or youtube people post how they do it, but there is so little explanation of what to do and when to do it afterwards that it's hard for the layman to understand.

I have been thinking that it is a waste to throw away the banana peels and the outside of the cabbage (I always throw away 1-2 pieces) after my children eat them every day, but it is very hard to compost them.

I will look into it more !.

I use a shovel to dig and bury a circle over 20 cm in diameter.
If I cover them with enough soil to hide the garbage and leave them alone, they will decompose before I know it, so I don't even use a box. Shells do not attract flies or insects, so even if you leave them unburied, they will eventually break apart and become fertilizer nutrients, although it will take some time in the sunlight.
All you need is a shovel and some soil, so it is economical, and the soil will become soft, so it can be used to improve the soil.

I bought a wire trash can today because I saw on instagram that if you dig a hole in a field and bury a Dollar Tree wire trash can 🗑️ and put chopped cardboard, soil and fallen leaves in it and put banana peels or something in it and cover it with soil or a lid it will become a worm compost. I bought a cover for a microwave dish because it was the perfect size for it.

I didn't cook today and ate out, so I don't have any garbage, but tomorrow morning I want to dig a hole and bury the garbage directly in the garbage can and for the garbage can.

I was wondering if I should buy a wire trash can from Amazon $ I'm glad I did for a little over 1. I guess the wisdom of people who are used to it is amazing in any field.

Those of you who have crossed the ocean to come here to Los Angeles and Japan
are always concerned about something related to your travel between Los Angeles and Japan.

If you have anything to say or questions, please feel free to write.
I'll try to write "something" as well.

Example :
What means do you use to call when you return to Japan?

Which seat on the plane do you prefer, Aisle or Window, front, back,

Which airline do you think has the best food?

Which mode of transportation do you use to get to the local area?

and so on and so on

My friend and I are going to meet up with friends in Japan for a petit trip destination. Our family of three will be traveling around by rental car. My friend is traveling by train with her two children. I was asked to give her a ride on the way, but what about the cost of the rental car and gas? ? I haven't replied, because I don't know what kind of car the rental car will be. My friend here is a bit stingy and would never tell me himself that he would pay for it. We have never offered to pay for gas or anything.
I'm a bit bothered by the fact that I have to pay for the car, take the risk of accidents, and drive the car. I think it's normal to split everything in this kind of situation, but I can't ask someone who didn't offer to pay for it … I know some people say it's worse not to tell, but isn't it usually worse not to pay ??

Thank you Stress Free and Safe Driving. Today, I was feeling a bit sad, so I got up the courage to call him and tell him that I want to pay for the rental car and gasoline on a pro-rated basis, and he replied that he still couldn't go. I felt somewhat refreshed. I was sad to think that he always wants to go with me because he can pay me, but now I can put my mind at ease and keep my distance from him.
I always picked him up when we went to the park or went out to eat, but I guess I was just a handyman. Thank you for listening to my complaints.

When I first started my own business in this area,

a friend of a friend of mine would come in and out of my office every day and

beg me for my lunch.

I finally told him to stop and

he never came again, but he was a real jerk.

I have a daughter who wants to practice the iron bars.
Please let me know if there are any parks near Torrance where I can practice the iron bars.

I see a lot of very high bars, but I would love to find a place that is just right for children's bars.
I met a mom on the road before and she told me she practiced the bars at a park, but I forgot to ask her where.

If you know of any, please let me know ! Thank you very much.

Google maps shows the Irvine area, but without a specific address, I am not sure if it is really a good idea to hire them.

I googled Torrance address was the only one I could find.

Either way, some places don't list their phone numbers on their internet sites because of the risk.

If your English is not good, you can start by asking a friend or other person who speaks English to call "phone information".
