SHIPPING CONTAINER CONSTRUCTION 101

Image
  You must have seen or at some point wanted to experiment with shipping containers in house construction. Here are five things you need to take into consideration when you want to go into shipping container house construction work. 1. Make a point of seeing the shipping container you intend to purchase inorder to avoid being sold defective or rusty containers that will be costly to restore to proper working conditions.  2. Cheap is not always better, spend alittle more on the shipping container. A shipping container that's in good condition allows you to get work done on it quicker saving you time and money you'd have probably lost if you went in for a much cheaper and defective container. 3. Get Proper Planning Permits and this you'll get by reading and researching on shipping container construction. This type of construction is like ordinary house construction and will need a plan that has been signed by an architect in that same field and most importantly is to make su...

The preceeding June Series Test Series saw New Zealand and Australia loose to Northern Hemisphere teams in the form of Ireland and England being totally dominated and outplayed in two of the three tests they played respectively. As was expected, The current World champs were pipped to make an easy job of Wales, however, with Wales snatching a 2nd test win, the final match was a nailbitter in Cape Town that saw SA bag the series.  Argentina on the other side of the plannet under the new stewardship of Michael Chieka outplayed Scotland twice to win their series after going down in the first test. Getting into the Rugby Championship, we had seen The best of The boks, los pumas and wallabies, while the All Blacks were on a rather rare run of losses. Week one saw Australia outclass their former boss' side with the Boks dominant against a disoriented All blacks outfit in Mbombe...

In its most common form, a game is played between two teams of 15 players each, using an oval-shaped ball on a rectangular field called a pitch. The field has H-shaped goalposts at both ends. Rugby is valued as a sport for men and women, boys and girls. It builds teamwork, understanding, cooperation, and respect for fellow participants. Its cornerstones are, as they always have been: The pleasure of participating, the courage and skill which the game demands, the love of a team sport that enriches the lives of all involved, and the lifelong friendships forged through a shared interest in the game. It is because of, not despite, rugby’s intensely physical and athletic characteristics that such great camaraderie exists before and after matches. The long-standing tradition of players from...
