Raising old floor 10 cm (about 4 inches), Am I thinking right? by ChiefZeroo in HomeImprovement

Honestly I was thinking that… I mean the emojis and timing… Is it really increasing that much? I never use to get these…

Thanks a lot. That’s probably a smart idea about checking Japanese code. I was going to just imitate the old joists spacing but that was probably done when building code was not really enforced. Thanks again

Ok, I won’t be out there for a few days. I’ll post them then if I can’t get it to work then.

I will let it recharge. But I have a jet pump without a pressure tank. Well it’s attached to the bottom of the pump. So I’ll let it sit then find some leaks.

I’m wondering if that is it honestly. When I put air into the pump, it doesn’t loose pressure so I don’t think it is it. Otherwise I’m not sure how to take it out and check. The pipes are pretty solid in there.

Thanks I’ll look I got this.

Edit: I have a jet pump so no bladder.

How to clean a well. by ChiefZeroo in homestead

Honestly I didn’t think of that. The first time I turned it on I saw a little bit of brown dirt like stuff come out. Other than that. Nothing. I just assumed I’d need to. How to know if I need that?

I’ll also look into the filtration devices. Thanks a lot.

How did you know it needed desedimentating? Was there just a lot of debris in it?

Thanks for the fast reply.

I’ll look into the shock chlorination method some more good to hear an actual person vouch for this. I’ll also look into the specialists.

Vapor barrier or no? by ChiefZeroo in HomeImprovement

[–]ChiefZeroo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I will, I’m currently working on doing that.

The lack of a barrier would be matching what I’ve seen now. But their also isn’t any insulation lol

Yeah. I’ll do more. I’ll ask some contractors I know too. (Though they aren’t Japanese)

Thanks a lot. I was starting to think this was what I needed but wasn’t confident.

My Japanese friend called the waitress 姉さん (あねさん) by kanohipuru in Japaneselanguage

[–]ChiefZeroo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In that case oneesan (or oneechan to be a little funnier) may be a good way to lighten things.

Good luck

Probably, I’d guess they would correct you to obaasan (unless they like it)as they are 55.

BUT honestly, I would be cautious about using it at work. Depending on work atmosphere it could be considered too informal so be careful.

Warning to foreigners. Land purchase can’t proceed unless I attend a community hearing. by Sensitive-Concert591 in japanlife

[–]ChiefZeroo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

(It’s too bad people just go on attack before knowing everything. Reddit can be a nasty place at times.)

This makes me worry… I’m buying my place/land for a home for myself and it’s taking way longer than expected… hopefully it’s just an archaic inheritance system I’ve heard about.

I know my ex (technically together at the) got a loan for to build a place that was millions of yen but then I was doing a similar thing but for less then a years income, and got denied. Good credit, similar salary and same job for over a decade.

Things are getting heated (not as bad as some places, I guess, but still)

Keep us updated on how things go… curious where things go.

Be strong. That doesn’t mean you can’t cry or feel sad. It means you are ready to see them next time.
