Since small-scale slope contractors don't understand the concept of unit prices, it's become the norm for them to be exploited with low pay!
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I’ve been working in Tottori since the start of this week, and I’ll be here until next week. And even though I’m supposed to be working in Tottori next week too, I didn’t feel like going all the way back, so I came to Kagawa Prefecture lol. I crossed the Seto Ohashi Bridge for the first time and headed to Marugame City in Kagawa Prefecture. There’s a slope construction company there called “Shikoku no Masaaki”…
Has the time come when subcontractors are being brought in by associations specializing in specialized construction methods and materials??
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. There are various associations in the slope stabilization industry—some for construction methods, others for products. I imagine the big companies don’t really think twice about buying materials, but for small businesses like ours, it’s pretty common to be unable to join these associations, lol. One of them is Gu…
Backfilling for stone masonry and backfilling for slopes are exactly the same thing!
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Lately, I’ve been receiving reports that stone walls are about to collapse, have already collapsed, or are starting to crumble. They’re starting to gap open like this, or cracks are appearing on the front, making them look quite unstable. The cross-section of a stone wall usually looks like this…
The thing I bought at the Wakita Jumbo Fair has arrived!
Hello, everyone. It’s Enta. The thing I ordered at last month’s Wakita Jumbo Fair has finally arrived! That’s right! It’s the Higashisora rock drill!! I thought it would arrive sooner, but apparently there were no boxes to pack it in, so it got delayed... Honestly, I don’t need a box—just bring it over already…
Just put this here, and that guy will suddenly stop coming within a 5-meter radius!
Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. Now that it’s gotten cooler, it’s suddenly their time to shine!! That’s right! “Mosquitoes.” I’m seriously getting swarmed by them—it’s crazy lol. Even though I’m not showing any skin at all, it’s like, “Have mosquitoes’ proboscises gotten longer lately??”—they’re even getting through the fabric…
A campaign has started where you can get a credit card and an Amazon gift card when you sign up for CCUS (Construction Career Up System)! (Bait)
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. It looks like there are all kinds of perks if you register for CCUS (the Construction Career Up System) lol. Right now, there’s a pretty hot promotion where you get a 4,900-yen Amazon gift card plus the chance to sign up for an American Express Gold Card!…
Be sure to keep an eye out for the invoice system that starts on October 1!
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The invoice system went into effect today. If you run a business, this naturally applies to you. And surprisingly, even salaried employees may find that their expenses aren’t accepted as business expenses if they aren’t careful. It all comes down to getting receipts…
Inspection of Submersible Pumps and Key Points
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other day, I was repairing a high-head submersible pump. It wasn’t running quite right, so I took it apart to fix it. Unless it’s the motor inside, the problem is usually either damage to the suction impeller (blade wheel) at the bottom or a broken capacitor wire. …
I Tried Measuring Positioning Errors in Drainage Boring Work!
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. It’s gotten quite a bit cooler in the shade. But air-conditioned workwear is the best this time of year! The real benefit of air-conditioned workwear is how it handles the lingering summer heat, lol. It makes the lingering summer heat feel like autumn all at once, so you can get your work done comfortably. But anyway… Since last week, I’ve been working on draining the water…
