Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other day, I was busy with anchor work. Today, I’m transporting rebar for formwork. lol We’re constantly short-handed here and there, but the requests for cost estimates and design changes just keep coming… Maybe it’s because it’s free? lol (I’m doing this to learn, though…)

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other day, the snow was so bad I couldn’t get to the job site, and it looks like things are going to get a little tough again. (I’m definitely working on Sunday!) Nature always wins. No matter what we do, we slope contractors can’t beat nature. In the end, nature gets angry at us, yet it’s nature that keeps us alive. No matter how hard we try…

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Things are really bad in Nagoya, aren’t they? Since it’s a region that doesn’t usually get snow, it’s total chaos. That said, I feel like this happens every year these days... I’m heading out to the countryside, so I’m driving on studless tires—which gives me peace of mind—and I’m used to the snow, after all. …

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other day, for the first time in a while, I went to check the number of anchor bolts that had been installed! I was there to oversee the lathing installation. (Laughs) Of course, the main focus was the inspection, but we also talked about various issues at the site. And, of course, I brought up some points that might lead to a higher contract price. (Haha) (Only the parts I thought were necessary, though…)

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other day, one of our younger guys set up his first net. (Laughs) It seems he’s having a hard time letting the net hang down without snagging it. It reminds me of how we all were when we first started. It’s important to remember your beginnings! We mustn’t forget where we came from. But anyway… Pa…

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. It looks like the weather is going to get really rough starting today!! A severe cold snap… what a scary name… Please be very careful!! Let’s all help spread the word to prevent any accidents! But enough of that. Here’s Part 2 of the “How to Make a Packer” tutorial. Last time, we covered the pa…

Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. A few days ago, I went on a little trip—sort of—with some friends. That said, since it was around Shima in Mie Prefecture, it was just business as usual for me, lol. I went because I was invited, but since our group usually goes to all sorts of places, I wasn’t exactly blown away by the sightseeing…

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Our company is currently in the midst of an in-house pandemic. As mentioned in the article titled “Managing Your Health Is Part of the Job,” three people have since come down with the flu, and two have caught the common cold… Needless to say, operations have come to a standstill. National Institute of Infectious Diseases…

Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. The other day, I went to Wakazono Manufacturing, a local shop, to have them make some legs for my inverter. Haha. It was a bit of a hassle, but he really is a pro! He’ll do just about anything, lol. Lately, he’s been working on bikes like Harley-Davidsons…
