Our handyman


The handyman we hired this time finished the work 18 days late.  The photos below are examples of his work. He never covered the brand new refrigerator while he was painting the room. I have never met anybody like him. I did warn him a few times about it and he always said "do not worry",.... The result is like this. This is a just a small part of his work.  It is best to hire a person who is popular and busy.


今回雇ったハンディマン、予定よりも18日も遅れてようやく工事を終えました。仕事ぶりは写真の通りです。新品の冷蔵庫にも何もカバーもしないで、室内のペンキを塗る、、、こんな人にお目にかかったのは初めてです。工事の途中で何度も注意をしましたが、心配しなくても大丈夫と言って聞く耳を持ちませんでした。その結果がこの通り、これはほんの1部です。いつも忙しくて評判の良い人を雇うのが1番です。

Barbara


This is our house keeper, Barbara; we are getting a lot of help from her. She moved to Hawaii from New Jersey three years ago. She speaks out, has common sense and feels like family. I like her very much. This photo was taken at our Hawaiian Monarch penthouse.

いつもお世話になっているハウスキーパーのバーバラさんです。3年前ニュージャージー州からハワイに引っ越してきました。自分の意思をハッキリと言い、常識もあり、なんだかファミリーみたい、、、そんな彼女が大好きです。この写真はハワイアンモナークのペントハウスからです。

Learning


I went to a physical therapist today for first time; I also got a traction machine to extend the neck. I really want to get well!

We went to the condo today and were surprised that the remodel has not moved forward at all in 2 days.  The person we hired talks a lot but the action doesn't follow. We regret that we did not have the same person who worked with us before. He has a good reputation. Oh well, we are learning.

私は初めてフィジカルセラピストへ、首を伸ばすトラクションという器械も購入し、徹底的に治すことにしました。

内装工事は行ってみてびっくり、この二日間全然進んでないのです。今回雇った人は、口ばかりで行動が伴いません。以前頼んだ人に頼むべきだったと後悔、、、、彼は評判も良いのです。あ~~~あ~~~いつも学んでます。

Mirrors


We had the mirrors installed today. Now we can see the surfers and waves from inside the condo through the mirrors. And the tops of the beautiful trees in Kapiolani Park, too. 

今日は大型の鏡を設置。サーファーや波の様子が鏡に映って、コンドの室内からでも見えるようになりました。カピオラニパークの美しい木も、たくさん見えま~す。

Changes


We wanted to keep the wall paper to begin with as it was still in good condition but it was too hard to repair the holes. Now we decided to tear it off and paint the whole wall. It is going to look nice as we also made the ceiling smooth.

始めは、壁紙の状態が良いのでこのまま残す予定でしたが、止めピンの跡が綺麗に直らないのです。天井もスムーズにしたので、この際、壁紙も剥がしてペンキを塗ることにしました。

Refrigerator


We went to buy a refrigerator. There are many large ones but only one small size in stock so we bought it to get the job done. 

今日は冷蔵庫の買い物に。大型は種類も色々ありますが、在庫のある小型は1種類だけ、それで簡単に決まりです。
