The Correct Way to Install Formwork Is Level (Horizontal) | Why Aligning It with the Road Grade Will Make Reinforcement Installation a Nightmare
Hello, everyone. This is Enta.

Slope of Drainage Concrete in Formwork Construction | Difference from Drainage Pipes
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other day, I was doing some TIG welding, but I was doing it without wearing a welding mask. Since TIG welding involves pressing the switch in short bursts (spot welding), I figured I’d be fine—but I ended up getting a massive sunburn lol. Getting sunburned in the middle of the day…
