Hello, everyone. This is Enta. There are only two days left of Golden Week, including today. It’s nice to have time off, but honestly, I’m a little too bored, lol. I’m really bored this year. Today’s post is a bit like a commercial, lol. I’d like to announce the slope engineering training video we released the other day. Kuden Pro is Yuck…

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Lately, I’ve been getting a lot of inquiries from the general public about stone wall repairs. I really appreciate it, but people keep asking me, “How much will it cost?” over the phone or by email (lol). And every time I tell them, “I can’t say without doing an on-site inspection,” they just say, “Oh, never mind then” (lol)…

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The invoice system is a hot topic in the construction industry right now, isn’t it?

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. We’re starting to drill holes for the temporary anchors today. Last weekend, I set up the equipment all by myself. As you can see, the site is quite spacious, so I was able to set it up with plenty of room to spare. Now, regarding how to set up the equipment, even in tight spaces…

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Are you doing quantity surveys? Well, when you say “quantity survey,” I think it’s mainly done by general contractors and branch-office contractors. If you work for a company that only does subcontracting, you might hardly ever see it. Design documents include design drawings, design calculations, design quantities, and design costs…

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I’ve been overhauling the rotary percussion mechanism of a hammer for the past few days, and this brass pin is completely worn out. This pin is attached to the shank rod inside the hammer—it’s basically like a needle bearing…

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Do you know what this is? Well, I’m sure those of you who do maintenance are familiar with it—it’s what’s commonly called a ball bearing (radial ball bearing). This part is used in rotating shafts. Take a mixer, for example…
