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…
A Look at Drainage Pipes and Drainage Concrete | Anchor Installation Meeting
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. (Laughs) Of course, the main focus was the inspection, but we also talked about various issues at the site. And, of course, I brought up some points that might lead to a higher contract price.

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.

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…
Concrete Loses Strength as It Dries | JIS A1108
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Today, I stopped by the Osaka Motor Show on my way to work. During my limited time there—just an hour and a half—one thing struck me: I felt like I saw a different side of what a motor show can be. It’s not just about cars, after all. But anyway…
