Yes, this is definitely a great start and it will reduce the BS factor greatly. I checked your profile blobbles and I can see that you have verified your email.

I am just wondering why some users still comment here in the last 2 days but do NOT verify? What reasons would they have for not verifying?

Teaching Spanish or English or working without a work Visa is illegal in China.

I just realized that anyone can still write and reply to a post here even if they have NOT verified their email address.

Let me know if you have any questions

You need a good worker who will do the job right. Main problem is that when they install the new western toilet, they dont seal the old large whole properly and then you have leaking into the neighbors ceiling. Then you have to pay someone else to do it all over again.
I watch workers all day because they want to save on materials. They will do a (8:1) sand:cement mix and they fill it with broken brick to use less cement. This is worthless because the sand and brick absorb water and it will leak 1 year later.
