About Crack-Prevention Materials (Part 5)

Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. One way or another, the three-day weekend is over. Well, it was just a regular Sunday, right? (laughs) I went to the Rock Bolt construction site the other day.

Hello, everyone. It’s Enta. The other day, I dropped my phone in the river at the job site... lol. It got swept away by the muddy current... sob.

Troubleshooting (Part 1) | What to Do When It Rains During Concrete Work

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other day, the cherry blossoms at the Iwakura Cherry Blossom Festival were in full bloom, and it was absolutely packed with people! There were traffic jams everywhere, and it was really tough getting around. Amid all that, I was working at another venue as the guy running the shooting gallery, helping out the kids. Thanks to that, I’m completely exhausted…
