I found a sample storage shed around the entrance of HOME DEPOT
and asked if there are any restrictions for people to live in it.

＞ Main features of ADUs
＞ Complete independence: independent living, sleeping, cooking and sanitary facilities.
＞ Types:Can be a freestanding home (backyard cottage)}, a connected home (addition)}, or a remodeled space (basement/ ＞ garage conversion)}.
＞ Use ： as a family, caregiver, or rental home.

At any rate, if people are going to cook *do laundry* *stay overnight* in the space, the City of Los Angeles area has very strict city regulations and the law is that you cannot live in that shed unless it passes a city audit.

Near a friend's house about a 10 minute drive from mine in the City of LA, the resident there is a competent carpenter who built a cottage in his backyard and someone was living in the shed. But there was a mean-spirited resident in the neighborhood who tipped off the city that the shed was against city ordinances.

Then the city inspector came and said, "This shack has not passed the city audit," and we had to tear it down for crying out loud.

My neighbors also seem to keep their garage doors closed and use that space as a Living/Bed Room. I don't mind that at all.

ADUs don't have bathrooms ？ Then why did everyone say it was better to find an ADU to live in? But it was built without a permit, and she was told to leave within 2 weeks, so she rushed to move in and it was torn down immediately.

The reason they found out was because a city worker ？ who came to the house next door when they were renovating it found it. It was just a coincidence, but from my friend's point of view, it was a big surprise.

I still think it would have been nice to have a house in my backyard there. I don't know if it would have been better if I had had permission.

My dog has been barking more since he became a senior.
I play relaxing music when I go out. Loudly scolding a dog when he barks is counterproductive. They think they are being cared for.
I recently purchased Pet Hemp oil for dogs and have been experimenting with it. It seems to be good for reducing excitement and relaxing them, as well as for appetite loss.
I think it might be worth a try to help senior dogs with their day/night cycle.
I think 100% organic products are better.
You can buy it on Amazon and other places.
I have only just started using it, but it seems to relax them somewhat.

Search Amazon for Anti barking dog collar or Citronella dog bark collar or something like that and you'll find a lot of stuff. If it is reported to the Humane Society, you will receive a letter and if the complein continues, you will be fined, or you can do something about it and ask the neighbors how they are doing these days ？ in a low and apologetic way to show that you are concerned and that it is effective.
I took a simple snack, gave them my phone number, and apologized to them to let me know if they were being too noisy, and it subsided.

It is an aging behavior and is not expected to improve.
If he is 11 years old, he is a senior and the only way is to consult a veterinarian.

He needs care just like humans do.
My dog was the same way as a senior, but there was no solution.
First the barking, then the wandering around the room, and on and on it goes.
So we had no choice but to make sure that the family members took turns to stay at home until his last day.
During those years, family trips were not possible, and we did not eat out.

Please take care of her until her last days.

There were quite a few complaints about my parents' dog in Japan, and he had surgery to remove his vocal cords, but the surgery failed and he was lost during the surgery.

Do you know what he is barking at? ？ You could try putting up curtains so he can't see outside as much as possible, or close the windows so he can't hear outside as much as possible. Do you have a crate or something that he can usually stay calm in? ？ It is also a good idea to have enrichment toys for him to play with while you are away from home.
Also, I recently found this relaxing music and started using it. My dog is sleeping calmly while I am away from home.

I'll report this to my landlord because I like my current room, the location and the price, and I don't want to move as much as possible. When this noise started, the dog from the house next door was barking in response, but he hasn't been barking lately.

This is a counter-prescription for when I was in Los Angeles.
In Los Angeles, noise is out between 10:00 and 7:00.
Hawaii is the same way, so
report it to the management company and if it hasn't improved,
it's perfectly acceptable to call the police.
Also, as other users have said, preservation of evidence is important and
necessary when notifying the noise source of a breach of contract.
Also, nationality depends on race, but there is a good chance that
the police will only come once and
it will stop. In my case, the landlord terminated the contract quickly after two reports.
However, if it is discovered that you are the one who reported the incident, the same thing can happen to you, and you can get upset
because of your race and nationality.
The strongest recording is a video with a clock and date and time.

City of Honolulu （ City&County of Honolulu ） Noise Standards

In Honolulu, City Ordinances （ Revised Ordinances of Honolulu ） in addition to state law set specific numeric standards The city of Honolulu has established specific numerical standards.

🚨Noise Standards for Residential Areas🚨
🌞 Daytime （ 7:00-22:00 ） ： 60 decibels 🌛 Nighttime （ 22:00-7:00 ） ： 50 decibels

This If it exceeds this level, it may be a violation, but if it is less than this level, it is useless to report it.
The police will properly measure the noise in your room and will go to you if the noise is above the legal limit.
However, the police will only give you a police report, so
you will be told to take the police report to the Housing Court to file an appeal.

It is useless to complain to the owner of the room if you do not exceed the legal standard.

The first step is to measure if the noise is of legal standard because you can measure it accurately with an app on your phone.

Thank you all for the adbus ！
I have to record it and leave evidence, and the noise standard has to be exceeded. And it could go to court ！ ？
If it goes that far, this case may be at the unpleasant sound level of noise.

This morning, for some reason, I remembered going to Hayama Morito Beach, located at the western base of the Miura Peninsula, more than 60 years ago

during the summer vacation of high school students. \I remember going there with a swimming pool.

I looked again for "Hayama Morito Beach" on Google Map and found it.

The only big difference is that there are large condo or apartment buildings along the beach.

Of course, I'm 80 years old and remember when I was in high school.

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.

＃ Thank you, 48.
I still think 78% is strange. I thought it was strange because they stopped announcing it on their website and the percentage didn't change even though only 3 out of 9 students were accepted. 30%? I was wondering if I should send my daughter to Pre, but I will consider it ！ Thank you for the accurate information.

I am a parent considering transferring my child to Montessori 3rd grade starting August 2026. I have confirmed with the school that they have quite a few vacancies and are looking for students in all grades. it seems that the school has up to 6th grade and then 30% of the students are accepted and go on to Punahou middle and the rest are Mid-pac and Public. I know there is a difference in academic ability, but I wonder if they can keep up with their studies if they are accepted from middle school to punahou or Iolani … Of course, I know it is impossible to take the middle school entrance exam without a tutor.
I would like to know the actual situation of children who went from Montessori to Punahou or Iolani in the middle school. Thank you in advance.

Nice to meet you, my oldest entered Punahou from middle from MCS about 5 years ago.
At that time, about 80% of MCS graduates were accepted to Punahou, and my second child took the Punahou exam from MCS the year before last and was not accepted.
That year, 11 students took the Punahou exam and only 4 passed. Therefore, the older child is in Punahou and the younger child is in another middle school.
To enter Punahou middle school from MCS, you must have a Tutor. All of us had a Tutor. The school says it is not necessary, but it was impossible without a Tutor.
Since I entered Punahou Middle, I have had a lot of difficulties every year. The kids coming up from the bottom of Punahou are really smart. The kids coming up from the bottom at Punahou are really smart, a little surprising.
At MCS, my older son was able to come in at the top of his class, but once he entered Punahou, he felt inferior, and he was shocked.

We can't play tennis, swimming, or soccer in the MCS facilities; PE itself, we raised them in a situation where there was no place to do PE. There is no ground.
I grew up in a small group and did not notice the difference in academic ability. Now I am struggling a lot in Punahou. The MCS graduates who entered Punahou with me
are also not at the average level. I realized that there is such a big gap in academic achievement after I joined Punahou.
As others have said, many families at MCS have siblings attending together, and it was a very small, non-competitive, and relaxed environment.
I feel that if I only knew MCS as a school, I would have become an MCS believer. I think I became a believer in MCS because of the totally unfounded rumors that "MCS is a popular school, if you are in MCS, you can get into Punahou, Iolani from the middle, the acceptance rate is high, and even after getting into Punahou, Iolani, MCS graduates are at the top" and so on.
I also believed this until my two children took the entrance exam and went to other schools, but the reality is completely different.
MCS graduates do not reach the average level of Punahou. The percentage of MCS to Punahou acceptance is already below 30%. In fact, the numbers are clear in the school's announcement. Currently, the acceptance rate continues to drop dramatically, so it is not released publicly, but only announced to current students via email at graduation.
As a parent, I also regret that I believed the rumors within MCS and believed the fictions inside MCS such as 90% of Punahou pass and that you can be very high ranked even after entering Punahou. It seems like brainwashing.
In fact, 80% of the kids who go from Punahou to IVY or equivalent are from Kinder.

As well as the facilities of MCS schools, without being a weird MCS believer, and with an eye on reality, Elementary does not recommend MCS.

My child attended MCS in preschool. When it was time to go from preschool to kinder, I took the Punahou and Iolani exams and failed both.
They did not stay at MCS and moved to another school. 8 students from MCS Pre took the Punahou Kinder exam and 3 were accepted. Iolani had 4 students take the test and 2 were accepted. I had heard that Kinder had a high turnout, but we did not even get an alternate at all.
minami's story inside MCS, I heard it many times in my 2 years of pre. （ LOL ） Indeed, ！
many parents of MCS alumni have their children attending or have several siblings attending, so there is some kind of false "internal MCS agaea myth" being spread ！
Punahou likes MCS.................. （ lol ）
The actual percentage of students going to Punahou and Iolani is much lower than the 78% on the website. One of my co-workers has a child who failed the 4th Punahou exam from MCS and was moved up from the 7th Punahou Waitlist and is in the bottom 20% of Punahou students. I heard that some of my friends who entered Punahou from MCS are struggling to reach the average. I think they are the same age as your child.

The preschool was good, including the teachers. However, I think that Elementary has been slipping away to other schools not only because of the facilities, but also because of the quality of the teachers, the decline in academics, and too few students in the same grade level. I am glad I moved my child from Kinder to another school and put her in an environment full of classmates in the same grade level. The Montessori pedagogy itself is only adaptable from age 1 to 6, so I'm not sure there is any point in being at Montessori after that. The only Montessori elementary in Hawaii is MCS because Montessori education is not adapted in elementary.
However, the preschool didn't teach much academically, but my child enjoyed it very much, so I have no regrets ！.

My son graduated from MCS and went from Middle to Punahou and graduated last year. He is now attending a state college in the Mainland.
Oh no, you can't compare Punahou to MCS. To be clear, MCS graduates have a very hard time getting to the top in Punahou.
The "pure gold Punahou kids" （ from Kinder ） are almost always at the top. At Punahou, we call the kids from Kinder "Punahou Kids".
80% of the students who went on to the Ivy League and the most prestigious colleges were also from Kinder.
MCS is a Montessori school, so academics are appropriate, and from about the 4th grade onward, children aiming for Punahou Middle must attend cram school or Tutor.
Don't expect to get into Punahou or Iolani just by taking MCS classes, the SSAT is very revealing.
Punahou, you need to be at least 90% on the SSAT after all these years of academic improvement.
When my son took the Middle, he got 80%. Anyway, Punahou and Iolani are not just the top two.
Once you get in, it's a matter of whether you can keep up with the Punahou kids or not. Anyway, there was a huge difference between the two schools, so as other parents have said, it is true that I had a hard time studying after I entered Punahou.
