<\/p>\nHello, everyone.<\/p>\n
This is Enta.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Our industry uses a lot of cement, doesn't it?<\/p>\n
Plus, with material costs going up and up lately, it\u2019s really tough, isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The other day, when I went to the home improvement store, I found out it was actually cheaper than the cement we usually buy, lol.<\/p>\n
That's per bag, right?<\/p>\n
It's actually cheaper than if we bought it by the hundreds or thousands. (Regular cement)<\/p>\n
I guess I can understand that, considering the fare is included, but it's really cheap, isn't it? lol<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
And when you see cheap cement like this, don't you wonder, \"Is this cement okay?\"<\/p>\n
After all, if it's cheaper than the cement we professionals use, you'd naturally start to doubt its quality, wouldn't you?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
To be honest, I had my doubts too, but apparently, when it comes to cement specifically, it\u2019s impossible for a product to deviate from JIS (Japanese Industrial Standards).<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I mean, cement isn't exactly something just any company can make that easily, is it? lol<\/p>\n
All right, let's make some cement!<\/span><\/strong><\/span>It's not the kind of thing you can just whip up on a whim.<\/p>\n They're all made by huge, major companies, and each manufacturer has annual sales in the hundreds of billions of yen.<\/p>\n A company like that wouldn't make products that aren't JIS-certified, right? lol<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The cement sold at home improvement stores clearly lists the manufacturer, and<\/p>\n The only thing that says the distributor's name is the bag, but that means it's an OEM product.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n It's just a matter of whether the bag says \"Ube Mitsubishi Cement\" or \"Komeri Cement\"\u2014the contents are the same, lol.<\/p>\n I haven't heard anything about it, but it's highly likely that you can get a mill sheet (certificate of quality) at a home improvement store as well.<\/p>\n In other words, this means that the cement sold at home improvement stores can be used on-site just as you would any other type of cement.<\/p>\n It's handy in an emergency, lol (I should be able to submit an approval request, too!)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n These days, most of the traditional \u201chardware stores\u201d and \u201cgeneral merchandise stores\u201d we\u2019ve known for so long are gradually being replaced by home improvement stores.<\/p>\n At this rate, it looks like trading companies might eventually disappear, and the industry will likely narrow down to just home improvement stores.<\/p>\n There might even come a time when you can buy ground anchors and retaining frames at home improvement stores, lol.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n See you later.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hello, everyone.
