Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. On my way back from Nagano, a question popped into my head. It’s about money, actually (lol). Is it worse to have a low unit price, or a high one? Well, I guess it depends on your perspective. So, I took it upon myself to weigh the pros and cons. Unit…

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other day, during a special construction project, I used a bit that costs 50,000 yen or more each, and this is what happened right from the very first cut... I totally get that a 6-inch bit is expensive and puts a lot of strain on the drill, but it’s still a bummer when it ends up like this after just about 25 cm on the very first cut, lol. Anyway, moving on... A brand-new ke...

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I went out to inspect some stonework in Ishigaki again the other day. There’s been a lot of that lately, hasn’t there? And every time I go out to inspect, almost all the stonework is subpar, lol. The clients know it, too—they realize it must be dangerous. So, to provide an estimate for the stonework, I need…

Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here, swamped with quotes. I’m not making any progress at all lol. When I get interrupted by all sorts of requests in the middle, I just lose my train of thought completely. When you’re really focused on something, even a single phone call can completely shatter your concentration, right? And then I just can’t get back into it… Well…

Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. I’ve been practicing lathe work for the past few days lol. To those of you thinking, “Come on, cut the nonsense and hurry up with that quote!”—it’s only for an hour lol. What I actually did was… I’d really like to practice more and try my hand at thread cutting and stuff, but… &n…

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. It seems the world has already gone so far as to take a 9-day holiday—the other day, when I went to return a submersible pump I’d rented for a day, I was told the holiday had already started… Well, that’s fine. Some people can take time off, while others can’t. That’s just how it is. Especially at construction sites…

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Today, for the first time in a while, I’m on-site as the foreman lol. It’s a 96 casing job, so it’s a piece of cake!! I actually did my first sales pitch recently. When I write it like this, I bet you’re thinking, “Huh? What does that mean??” It’s the first time I’ve done any sales since starting my own business…

Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. The weather’s been alternating between warm and suddenly cold, and I’d been feeling a bit off—turns out it was hay fever lol. That awful time of year is here again... Anyway, I installed a brand-new case. So, I compared it to the one I’d been using before. Well…

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Lately, my work with private-sector clients has been gradually picking up, and I just heard something pretty funny lol. Apparently, they requested a quote from a private-sector client, but were told that if they didn’t act fast, the quote would go up lol. Do you get what that means?? The quote deadline was about a month away, but if they were a week late…
