Found a Great Product! (Screen-Type Thermometer) | COVID-19 Prevention Measures
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I had a meeting at a construction site office. And look at this! They’ve already started using them on-site. Lately, I’ve noticed them in restaurants, but now they’ve finally made their way to construction site offices too. That said, it’s just a regular body temperature…
Found a Great Product! (Slime Tank) | Drilling Site Tools
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I made this a few months ago! It’s been getting rave reviews lol. It’s especially great for general contractors. You can’t see it from this angle, but there’s a hole to completely drain the water, an overflow hole, and a compartment for the submersible pump. There’s sulfuric acid in the water beneath the mesh…

When Air Gets Into the System | Hydraulic System Problems
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other day, my generator’s fuel filter got clogged and the engine shut down. The photos above show the used filter and a brand-new one.

I Learned the Dangers of Working at Heights | Safety Awareness
Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. The other day, I went to a skills training course. Since the job site I’m starting at next week absolutely requires a certification for working at heights, I decided to get it… but come to think of it, it’s actually for heights under 10 meters, lol. I kind of feel like the special training would’ve been plenty sufficient…
We Tried Holding a Company Information Session | Recruitment Activities
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other day, we held a company information session for students lol. We did it at the request of students who are set to graduate next year. Since we’d never actually done anything like this before, we had absolutely no idea how to go about it, but we managed to put together some materials to convey our company’s unique features and the benefits of the construction industry…
If you can make things, just make what doesn't exist | Creativity
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I was working on maintaining my crawler drill. I’d been noticing that the chain kept coming loose and making weird noises, and it turns out the bearings and bushings had completely blown out lol. So, I contacted the manufacturer about the sprocket (the gear on the chain…)
5% Pay Increase for a Full Two-Day Weekend | Piecework System
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Are you working on a site with a two-day weekend? I was curious about how the general contractor’s cost estimates are affected by a two-day weekend, so I looked into it. I figured the costs would probably go up quite a bit. If, for example, one person’s Saturday off, 25,0…
