I've Strained My Back Again | The Fate of the Construction Industry

Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. Just the other day, just as I was thinking, “My back’s finally getting better…,” I went and strained it again while lifting a flow meter… I’m going to stop lifting heavy things from now on, lol.

If the Hydraulic Pump Fails, the Hydraulic Machine Is Done for | Maintenance

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other day, a hydraulic pump broke down on site lol. And it happened right when we only had two ground anchors left to go... lol. So, we had to swap out the machine on the fly, and we managed to get the drilling done somehow. However, we had to replace the pump with a brand-new one.
