A trick for transferring water from the right tank to the left tank using just one hose!

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Have you ever heard of a siphon? It seems like a lost art—or maybe a secret technique—among younger folks these days, but us old-timers know all about it! So I decided to give it a try this time lol. Do the younger employees at your company all know about it? I tried it out at the office…

"Who were you again? I think I've seen you there before," I ask myself.

Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. Do you have trouble matching people’s faces to their names? Especially with older people!!! lol You know their face, but their name just won’t come to mind! Doesn’t that happen to you all the time?? It happens to me all the time. It’s been like that since my early 30s. I used to think, “Ugh, I’m getting old…”

To get your hand caught

It is necessary to use the appropriate wrench for each application to prevent hand-pinching accidents during ground anchor installation.

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The most common accident in ground anchor installation is getting your hand caught. This typically happens during the installation or removal of the casing, and I assume you’re using the wrench shown below for that task. I previously introduced this wrench, noting that it’s less likely to cause your hand to get caught…

I (finally) set up a press at the office.

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I finally managed to set up the press machine lol. That said, I’ve really only installed the hydraulic cylinder so far lol. I’ve wanted a press machine like this for a while, so I had a press manufacturer custom-build it to my specifications…

Right now, there’s a clear divide between companies that have work and those that don’t—but the bottom line is, there just aren’t enough orders!!

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Business has really been slow this year, hasn’t it? It looks like we won’t be getting into full swing until after Obon—what about you all? Anyway, we’re getting very few orders this year. It’s a real headache. Bankruptcies in the construction industry are up 40%, exceeding 1,600 cases for the first time in eight years…

Found a Great Product (Heatstroke Prevention! Salt Jelly)

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Are you taking proper precautions against heatstroke? Something that’s been on my mind lately is the salt jelly made by a general contractor! Salt Jelly Sales Site I’m really curious about this, lol. It comes in all kinds of flavors, and best of all, it’s cheaper than I expected!! At construction sites or the office…

Break Through Your Mental Limits!

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. All sorts of things happen on a construction site. Sometimes things happen that weren’t originally planned, or they turn out to be worse than expected. Maybe the foreman is terrible (lol), or a mountainside suddenly collapses, or the materials don’t arrive, or the wrong materials are delivered. All kinds of things happen. But instead of getting pessimistic about this…

A Plant Construction Site Rife with Corruption (From the God of Construction)

A Sense of Discomfort on the Job Site This happened a few years ago, when I was working as a safety officer at a plant construction site. At the time, the company I worked for had seven subcontractors, and there were always around 60 workers on site. Although I was meeting all of them for the first time, from the company’s perspective, the seven subcontractors…

Taking on a challenge is the best way to avoid risk.

Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. I’ve been posting about our interns for the past few days, lol. We’re still doing all sorts of things, but I feel like I really need to focus more on my main job. Anyway, I’m going to shake it off and give it my all to have fun with the current team! Our younger employees want to try out this new thing, and that…
