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.

Are you stupid enough to think you don't have to pay if you don't go ？ ↑ ↑ ↑

I think it is only natural that the school should pay for the cost of personnel and materials for the child by having him or her enrolled in the school.
And you're on a furlough for your own reasons ？.

In most cases, the monthly fee is basically a year's worth of fees divided by 12 and presented as a monthly payment, so it is normal to pay a fixed amount regardless of whether the school is closed for the summer or if you take time off for a trip on your own.
There are some places like day care where you only have to pay for the days you go, but I think you still have to pay 50-80% to secure a seat when you come back from wherever you are.

Some impatient people used to use a new technique of quitting the school, not paying the monthly fee for the time, and rejoining the school when they come back, but I don't know if they can get in for sure.

Basically, the monthly fee for a kindergarten such as preschool is the monthly fee for one year divided by 12, so it does not matter if the child is absent during the summer vacation, has a cold, or takes a long vacation for travel, he/she will be charged the monthly fee.

Sometimes, conscientious kindergartens may charge 50-70% of the monthly fee as an enrollment fee, so it would be better to contact the office of the preschool you are attending to be sure.

Unfortunately, however, it is unlikely that your monthly fee will be reduced to zero just because you do not attend for a month.
