You're absolutely right, that does happen; albeit not with authentics. which was why i ended my statement with a caveat ..."if you find good quality"
over 70% of the pvc knockout boxes in the market are the substandard kind (imported by different people and made to different standards) and most pose the challenges you just described . alota suppliers cant tell the difference, some simply dont care, others will just rather sell the cheaper, substandard alternative and make more profit.

Please permit me to derail slightly for the benefit of those to whom this information might be helpful, I'll do a quick contrasting.

At a quick glance you should be able to tell them apart from the following:

1. Logo- in original dignity conduiting products including pattresses, adaptable boxes, lighting boxes etc you will never find any rectangular imprint around the logo (see pictures)

2. Overall quality of finish- generally the original is always of considerably neater finish. colour of plastic and texture also differ. but this might not be noticeable to a newbie if you're not making a side by side comparison.

3. Embedded nut/ thread hole in the boxes are usually made of a shiny, gold-coloured (not brass) material

Men!!! My boss you have saved a career. On my next visit to the Market, I will source for the original one

Good job @ allCopacetic

Adaptable boxes original vs susbstandard ...notice the logos
(usually, in the case of adaptable boxes the diff in qulaity doesnt matter too much to most electricians, because of their application)

Thanks for this chief. This is really important

@ Skimanski. I read through this thread and i am more than impressed, but why did you use sand filling rather than the usual laterite for filling the foundation?. I am not a building expert, just curious to know.

Resumption on External Plastering

Oga skimanski,

From the early pictures you posted below, I observed that the neighbor had two legs of his tank stand on your project land. Or are both lands owned by same owner? If not, is there an agreement on the use of the tank Stand?

The two Land was bought as a single plot and shared into 2 by 2 cousins. So it was agreed upon before the other guy did it. The water tank will be shared by my client and the original owner. Besides thats our current source of water for all our construction work so far, thanks to him.
