The concrete mixer I ordered from Cebu arrived by ferry, so I went to the port to pick it up.
Surprisingly, the engine was a genuine Subaru EY28B, a small gasoline engine.
53,000 pesos (106,000 yen), including ferry transport fee.
I've been looking to rent it, but it wasn't available at Osamis.
Even if they are available, there's a waiting list of several months, or 'It's broken, so I can't go.' appears the day before the reservation date.
By the way, it costs 750 pesos (1500 yen) to rent it for a day. This looks like it could be a good source of income.
However, you would need to rent it more than 66 times to break even.
However, it seems that a reservation for 'We must build a town road.' has already been made by a barangay (neighborhood) engineer.
We immediately transported it to the site and started using it for a test run.
All the workers are gathered together and watching happily.
Up until now, it had taken three people to mix the cement, gravel, and sand.
Just throw everything in, add water, and you're done.
Charlie and 'We can reduce the number of workers.' whispering to each other
In fact, until now, many workers would wait by the wall, smoking cigarettes, until the cement was mixed.
However, once the mixer started up, cement kept arriving one after another, as reported by 'I no longer have time to rest.' and Charlie.
But transporting gravel, sand, and blocks still requires human labor.
Up until now, everything was done manually, so the pace was manageable, but with the introduction of various machines, the pace will increase and it will become busier.
A wall has been built that stretches far into the distance.
Once the wall is finished, most of the existing wall will be demolished, and the backyard will be complete.
Before that, we line up stones of various sizes and pour concrete to raise the ground level.
