 No big nail guns nor nails available in the Philippines.  Pallet company I had meeting said they import theirs. Brad nailers are easily available.  

Very few builders use wood studs, its usually metal, or this mishmash of 2x2 boards with cement board.

I put a partition in my shop and used 2x2 steel tubing welded together, with half inch plastic plywood sheathing.  The plywood made by a partner organization.

Next 3 days is another trade show. I'll bring the good looking community organizer girl to man the booth.  Will display some pallets.  

I.came up with a idea to get my products displayed for free.  One organization I belong to, has a small display of recycled plastic products at the trade show, so I put caster wheels on the bottom of a pallet.  Its the cart to move their display and also is my display.  Just turn it upright and there it is. Combined with providing a girl to help man the booth, not a bad deal.

Weather here is still bad.  Multiple low pressure areas pulling in the rain.  Getting a foot of rain a week easily. 

Meanwhile the Filipinos are going apeshit over the ghost infrastructure projects.  TV hearings daily.

In the city I'm in, suddenly all sorts of paving going on.  They do these projects in the middle of the night.  Unsure how durable blacktop over rain soaked concrete will be.
