When I cut out the box from the void in the sprayed-on frame, the inside was completely empty!

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I’ve been working on a rebar insertion project for the past few days—do you know what “pre-drilling” is?

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. We’ve been hit by a major cold snap for the past few days—how is everyone holding up? Here in Nagano, we’re working on a slope at minus 15 degrees Celsius, installing the retaining wall almost directly on the slope.

Accidents That Can Be Prevented by Thoroughly Inspecting the Natural Ground|Safety

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. It’s been raining nonstop, hasn’t it? Earthquakes during this spell of continuous rain are really dangerous.

Continuous Improvement Has Led Us to Where We Are Today | The History of Homatsuya

Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. Have you seen this before? I stumbled upon it while working on a formwork project! It’s angle steel, lol. It was even tucked between the joints—what on earth is this?
