What Is the Reverse-Flow Installation Method? (Part 2) | USB Pollen Blocker and the Construction Site

Photo Management in Construction Supervision | Growing Children and a Sense of Melancholy
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. On Sunday, I went to the public pool with my kids for the first time in a while. When they were little, there were rules limiting one adult to two children, but now that they’ve grown up and can swim on their own, I just need to keep an eye on my youngest. My kids…

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other day, for the first time in a while, I went to check the number of anchor bolts that had been installed! I was there to oversee the lathing installation.

Considerations for Expansion Joints in Slope Stabilization Works | During a Trip with Friends in Mie
Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. A few days ago, I went on a little trip—sort of—with some friends. That said, since it was around Shima in Mie Prefecture, it was just business as usual for me, lol.

Important Things to Do Before Construction Begins (Part 1) | Year-End Cleaning and Organizing
Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. It’s business as usual today, lol. I’m slowly working through the quotes and proposals that have been piling up since last week, and I’m thinking I might clean my room a bit. Well, I’ve always been this way—I don’t do things like cleaning just because it’s the end of the year, lol. I just do it all at once when I get around to it…
How to Read a Dial Gauge | Understanding Measurement Results on Site
Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. This week feels like a final push to wrap up the year—it’s our year-end party, lol. We’ve got cleaning to do, too, but if you just do a little bit at a time throughout the year, you wouldn’t even need to do a big year-end cleanup, right? That’s right! I know that, too, but I just can’t seem to do it…
