Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. This happened last year, but things have gotten absolutely crazy at our Nepali dorm!! Wow—it really felt like I was overseas… I won’t deny it, but this is pretty wild, huh? lol Apparently, they’re just going to sleep like this…

Methods for Maintaining a Constant Ambient Temperature During Winter Curing

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. We were talking about health and wellness the other day, and the topic of “What is briquette charcoal?” came up, so I thought I’d write a post about it. This is the briquette charcoal we use on site. We burn the briquettes inside this cylinder. So, what exactly is briquette charcoal? Well, let’s see…

Guidelines for Diluting Cement Slurry with Hot Water Based on Finished Mix Temperature

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I received an email regarding the discussion we had the other day about mixing mortar with hot water. The question was, “What about grout?” Based on my experience, I think using cement milk is a viable option—especially when working in extremely cold conditions.

Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. The three-day holiday is over, and starting tomorrow, it’s back to work in earnest! ^^ For me, every year is just the same as usual—nothing really changes.

How to Position Forms for On-Site Spray Application: For the General Public

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other day, I was talking with a scholar about the legal framework. When I said, “That’s actually really simple to put together!” he responded with something like, “No, no, that’s actually quite difficult.” Since the scholar’s main focus is research, he wasn’t really familiar with how we go about creating it…
