It means they're selling construction services
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. You know those anchor pins used in retaining wall construction, right? There’s usually one at the intersection and about two to six on the crossbeams.

How to Remove the Zabuton Frame and Unload the Ground Anchors

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other day, I went on a site inspection. You know, what’s commonly called a “client inspection.” The plant area was still easy to see, but the spot where they were doing the spray coating was pretty high up, lol.

Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. Do any of you have a “taste that brings back memories”? lol For example, a meal that reminds you of the past, or a flavor that your brain just can’t forget even though you’ve tried to. For me, it’s the Sapporo Ichiban Shio Ramen my dad used to make for me. lol It’s just instant ramen, but I can’t forget it…
Starting in fiscal year 2027, a system will be implemented to report construction unit prices that are significantly lower than average!!
Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. Seriously, though. The first thing I say when I meet someone these days is just “It’s so hot!” lol. We’ve been talking about the weather and how hot it is, and since the rainy season officially ended last Thursday, it feels even more intense… But anyway, did you know about this announcement the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism made the other day?
