Customer’s “amulet”

By 未分類

Our customers have forgotten their “amulets” and returned to his home country, so we have considered an appropriate disposal method for “amulets”.

 

First of all, for the first six months, we offered our customers’ amulets to the Kamidana in our Dios head office in Nakanoshima Osaka.

On New Year’s Day, January 1, 2021, we visited Shitennoji Temple in Osaka for the practice of visiting a temple at the beginning of the New Year. Therefore, we prayed for the patronage of our customers in the temple, and at the same time, we put all of our customers’ amulets in the disposal box of the amulets at Shitennoji Temple.

Shitennoji is the first temple in Japan where Buddhism was introduced 1400 years ago. We participated in the monthly zazen meditation at this temple from 5 am. At this venerable Buddhist temple in Japan, we have properly disposed of our customers’ amulets.

On the same day, Dios bought a new “amulet” at Shitennoji Temple. This “amulet” is (1) the good relation with a Buddha and (2) the relation with a person. We love this new amulet very much. We will continue to raise it to our Kamidana of our Dios head office.

How to build a new internet connection to your home

By 未分類

To install a new internet in your home, first select an internet service provider, complete the procedure, and then set up your machine. This sequence of tasks is more complicated than you might think, and can be confusing if you don’t see the steps very accurately. The person who manages the procedure must have all the information.

Yodobashi Camera has a counter called “Consultation anything about the Internet”. Other consumer electronics retailers have similar consultation desks. It is recommended that the contractor himself or herself go there. If you are a foreigner, please go to this consultation desk with an interpreter who understands Japanese. Since “identity verification” is required for the contract procedure for the Internet, the contractor must bring his / her identification card and go directly to the consultation desk.

In the case of NTT FLET’S Hikari, you can make a contract by telephone. However, if you want to compare the price with other internet service providers, you need to go to the internet consultation desk of the electronics retail store.

(1) NTT FLET’S Hikari

(2) au Hikari

(3) eo Hikari

(4) J.com

(5) Softbank

(6) docomo

(7) UQ WiMAX

(8) Y! mobile

Select from these (1) to (8) Internet service providers.

If the line is not laid in the house, NTT FLET’S Hikari will pull the line from the utility pole on the road, so it is unlikely that NTT FLET’S Hikari cannot be connected. However, NTT FLET’S Hikari is more expensive than other Internet carriers.

Softbank Hikari, docomo Hikari, and Biglobe Hikari use NTT’s internet connection. However, it is a little cheaper than NTT FLET’S Hikari.

“Au Hikari” tends to be strong in apartments, and “eo Hikari” tends to be strong in detached houses.

Also, if the mobile phone company you already have is au, Softbak, or docomo, if you sign up for a residential internet connection with the same company, you will get a package contract, and the monthly payment will be about 500 to 1,000 yen cheaper.

In order to complete the contract procedure at the “Internet consultation desk” such as Yodobashi Camera, you must exchange a lot of documents such as explanations of important matters. The contractor and the interpreter must be present at the contract procedure during that time. The paperwork can sometimes take several hours.

Also, if the documents are incomplete, you will have to go to the counter again, which is a little annoying. Therefore, please proceed with the procedure accurately, confirming and reconfirming, and carefully.

As for the wireless router, a mesh router is recommended to send the Internet radio waves over a wide area in a large house. One way is to install a relay machine. Consumer electronics retailers such as Yodobashi have the latest models, and there are various models from expensive to inexpensive.

First of all, please go to the “Internet consultation” counter of home electronics retailers such as Yodobashi.

Geo Tower Tenroku 　(About Tenjinbashisuji 6-chome area)

By 未分類

“Geo Tower Tenroku” is located at the intersection of Tenjinbashisuji 6-chome and is directly connected to the subway station. This station (station name “Tenjinbashisuji 6-chome”) is a station that can be used along the Sakaisuji subway line, the Tanimachi subway line, and the Hankyu Kyoto line and Hankyu Senri line. The apartment called “Geo Tower Tenroku” is very convenient for those who commute to stations along the Sakaisuji Line and Tanimachi Line. It is a very convenient place as it is connected to Higashi-Umeda Station, which is the most downtown area in Kansai and Osaka.

Even though Osaka Station and Namba Station are directly connected to the nearest station, their terminal buildings at the station are too large, so you actually have to walk a lot. On the other hand, “Geo Tower Tenroku” is only a 10m walk to the entrance of the station.

For shopping, there is “Hankyu Oasis” on the first floor of the same building of “Geo Tower Tenroku”. Hankyu Oasis is a grocery supermarket with a wide selection of high-quality products such as vegetables and meat.

In addition, Tenjinbashisuji Shopping Street is right in front of “Geo Tower Tenroku”. This Tenjinbashisuji shopping street is one of the most famous shopping streets in Osaka. The shopping mall is about 2 kilometers long and is lined with a wide variety of shops. From Tenjinbashi 6-chome Station, beyond JR Temma Station and Minamimorimachi Station, it is one of the busiest shopping streets in Osaka. There are many popular shops, and you can shop cheaply. Compared to Umeda and Namba, you can shop more closely to your life.

Tenjinbashi 6-chome is a traffic intersection where many people gather. Nevertheless, security is a good place. Namba and Umeda are okay as long as they are on the premises of a large-scale building, but there are night towns where people can drink alcohol, and depending on the area, it may be unsafe. As a residence, Tenjinbashi 6-chome is a convenient and safe place for residents’ everyday life.

How to make a wall

By 未分類

You might think that only a carpenter can make a wall, but you can do it with DIY. If you can DIY and make your own wall, you can save millions yen. What’s more, you can make better walls.

I think the most important point to make a house comfortable is “insulation”. It’s been December and the temperature is getting colder, but it’s very cold in uninsulated concrete houses because the concrete gets colder. It feels colder inside the building than outside it. I think that “insulation” can make a very comfortable house if the insulation is firmly installed inside the wall.

To create a new wall, first set up studs (Mabashira). A plasterboard is pasted on the studs, and a finishing material or cloth is pasted on the plasterboard to create a beautiful wall.

First, you have to screw the wood to the concrete. Use concrete screws. Unlike wood, concrete cannot be fixed with a screwdriver without making a pilot hole. To make a pilot hole in concrete, you can also make a hole with a vibrating drill, but it takes time. Hammer drill is good.

　

For 5 mm screws, drill a pilot hole of 4.3 mm to 4.5 mm. For screws with a length of 60 mm, make a pilot hole to a depth of 70 mm. The pilot hole is dug 10 mm deeper than the length of the screw.

Secure the floor and ceiling wood base with concrete screws. The base of the ceiling must be a heavy hammer drill pointed at the ceiling while holding the wood. For this work, I first fixed it to the ceiling with a reinforcing metal fitting with a screw, and then drilled a pilot hole with a hammer drill. At the construction site, I think you  think of a good method for yourself and adopt it.

The walls are of course must be vertical and flat. However, straightening the wall requires “Sumidashi”. I found out how to make a wall perfectly flat by using a laser machine. A chalk line is OK. Draw a line with a pencil is also good. But lasers are very useful.

Next time, I will add insulation.
