Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I’d like to talk about the basic guidelines for rebar protrusion when inserting rebar after spray-applied mortar work. Generally, the standard protrusion length for rebar insertion is 100 mm. The surface can be challenging when applying spray-applied mortar, especially on slopes with significant unevenness. Unevenness…

Carry out the work using the methods and equipment specified in the cost estimate! Recently, I was stunned. That “strange custom” has made a comeback at a public works site… The client’s argument is as follows: “The equipment listed in the cost estimate isn’t being used on site! Bring the exact same equipment as specified in the cost estimate and carry out the work!…

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. Since I had way too much free time, I spent some time the other day making the shaft for the vertical mixer I wrote about recently. As expected, working with long pieces is tricky—there was some wobble, and I had a hard time getting it under control lol. I’m hoping my skills will improve even more over this Golden Week. …

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Lately, I’ve been getting a lot of inquiries from the general public about stone wall repairs.

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. Has Golden Week started for you yet? We’re still working here until today. That said, some of our employees are starting their Golden Week break today. I’ll be off starting Sunday. It seems things are a bit slow in our industry right now, but we’ll get really busy right after Golden Week ends…

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I’m sure you often use packers in ground anchor construction. I don’t think you’ve seen a packer inflated very often. Even if you have, it’s probably only been at the end of the free length. Take a look at what it actually looks like…

Hello, everyone. It's Enta. The other day, I made a needle bearing for a drilling machine. What do you think? It's just a video of me drilling. Actually, I really love rotating things! lol My favorite thing is the spinning of the machines at the laundromat. Hmm...

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. We actually do seed spraying, lol (we get a few requests for it a year). The photo is something I found online. And here’s the thing—we don’t have a hydroseeder! (A hydroseeder is a machine used for seed spraying and slurry spraying.) But when a job comes in…
