Hello, everyone.

This is Enta.

Here are some photos sent from the job site the other day.

The blade tip is rounded, lol.

It's usually pointed like this.

I’m using a double-conical bit, but it almost never gets this round, lol.

 

This is what happened the last time we drilled into hard rock using a suspended drill rig.

This was originally a pointed bit, too.

I can't believe tungsten has come this far! lol

 

When the rock gets hard, it tends to be about one per strand.

It depends on the size, but a ring bit used in standard ground anchor construction costs around 30,000.

It really gets tough when things start falling apart left and right.

The drilling costs just keep getting slashed, lol.

 

In situations like that, while drilling, I’d ask the general contractor, “Since this soil condition wasn’t anticipated initially, could you please try to cut the bit cost in half, even if it’s just half?”

There are times when you might have to negotiate.

Depending on the director in charge, some people may readily agree, and

Some people say things like, “You’ve factored that into your estimate, haven’t you?”—sounding just like a bureaucrat.

But if I had factored that in properly when I gave the estimate, I think people would say it’s too expensive, don’t you think?

I guess that's all part of the negotiation, lol

 

So, conversely, there is a very real possibility that the quoted price could vary depending on the person in charge at the general contractor.

Or, depending on the person in charge, they might just say they won't take on that job, lol.

Contractors also don't want to work with supervisors they don't like.

This annoying director is,

"Work on-site frequently comes to a halt, instructions are vague, photos are slow to arrive, and it's all the subcontractors' fault,There's no love!"and so on."

 

But people are funny creatures, and in the end,There's no loveI actually end up placing a lot of importance on the location, lol.

If a director says this and that but still somehow makes me feel their love, I’m willing to stick with them.

A caring director is someone who makes you think, “Well, I guess it can’t be helped!”

I suppose that sort of thing really comes down to good taste—or maybe it's just a natural gift.

I guess you could say I'm the "beloved character."

I'm so jealous lol

 

A well-liked director is highly valued wherever they go.

Even if they aren't natural-born leaders, there's another type of manager who is loved!

That is,A coach who can go the extra mile for othersThat's it.

For example, someone who can handle small preparatory tasks for the next craftsman.

He's the kind of person who can effortlessly do little thoughtful things for others.

A director like that is cool, smart, and popular with the crew! lol

 

Ultimately, people who are good at getting along with others are doing it for someone else.

Even if you do it as if it were for yourself, it’s actually for someone else.

Before you know it, what you’re doing for someone else becomes something you’re doing for yourself.

Two sides of the same coin.

 

This is what a good director is like.

Of course, being able to do the job perfectly is a must! lol

 

See you later.
