I would strongly suggest kobocity in addition to the scrolling system to get to posts also adopts the number system. Where people can jump from number 1 to even 10 without necessarily scrolling through every conversation.

A lovely site so far overall, and would recommend other jump in

It’s clean, safe and secure on kobocity.com. You’d definitely love the moderation here. Every citizen is treated with respect.

I really love the guys working at the backend.

For the record.

1) this is still rather unusual in the USA, Wood is used 90% of the time. Steel is more for partitioning spaces in a refurb.

2) dominion showed a whole estate in Nigeria that was built with steel studs.

Didn't see number 2

good questions.

Doing pop before plastering is the best, because it will enable the plasterer to gauge and smooth all the edges of the pop design.

Plumbing work is done before plastering because all the walls the plumber will break before laying the pipes must be cover with bricks and mortar by the plasterers.

Same applies to electrical pipping, it must be done before plastering.

Frames for doors must be available on site before plastering because if you don't provide it for the plasterers when they are plastering coming back for them to install the frame after plastering will cost you, time, energy and money.

Windows must be on site install, before plastering it save you money and it is the best ethic to get wonderful finishing.

After plastering is fixing of plumbing and electrical materials for the project.

Next to painting.

But before all this can be done you must cover the buidling.


Thanks for the detailed answer, if they do the POP before plastering won't that stain the POP or cause some kinda damage?

Don’t get it twisted. Plastering comes before doing POP ceiling.

The initial post recommending doing POP before plastering is referring to architectural ornaments on windows, pillars, beams as POP.

You do those before plastering if you want to achieve the best result.

Both are actually right but the terminology used is exactly what’s causing the confusion.

Hi, is it normal for the stab not to supply the building when the input volt drops to a certain level? I haven't got the true picture as the person that was at home when it happened didn't take note of the input voltage at that time. Otherwise, it's been working fine

Yes. When voltage drop below a certain level, it could supply to protect your appliances.

Efficiency.

What’s most efficient?

POP after plastering.

If you’ve done POP before plastering you can stil do plastering without pulling down POP but the bricklayer will curse who created the snaffle grin

oga brabus is actually very correct, it not something to get confuse about, it's so easy to understand, internal pop ceiling is different from external or exterior ornament pop, be it window hood, angles, pillars, wall belt e.t.c to get the best result, it just an advice to do it before pastering

This Week: Make A Difference

No matter what business you are in, who your customers are, how bad the economy may be and how many competitors you are up against, you have an edge that no one else has: YOU.

You are the differentiating factor in your customer’s decision-making process. No other company or individual has that edge. The difference all starts with you.

Happy New Week.

Do everything to get a Prepaid Meter, even if you have to buy it.
That is your best solution.

I have tried that even paying for it but was told that everything is now under federal government mass meter.
I will prefer to pay if that is the best solution.

You’re still speaking English to them I think.

You can get a meter. Just talk to the security staff for a hookup. The security man knows the company better than the CEO.

You’re still doing it the Yankee returnee way.

I just paid the marketers and told them I’m not paying any bill until I see my prepaid meter. I got my meter almost a year later and I started paying to the government when the meter was installed.

I didn’t surmount to the pressure to pay any estimated bill after paying for the meter and I made it clear to them that you can’t have my money and cut my supply.
Give me my meter today and I’ll start paying immediately.

Those in government can chose to be stupid. You’re not compelled to take their bullsh*t
