This is why our selection of prestigious listings across the island is expanding daily and includes a wide variety to suit any discerning taste. We are aware that careful consideration needs to be taken when you decide to buy property in Malta. This is why we are proud to present our distinct portfolio of luxurious properties for sale in Malta, the gem of the Mediterranean. We realise that a home is much more than a place to live - it is a sanctuary from where we build families and dreams. That is why we at Malta Sotheby’s International realty understand the importance of finding a home that not only suits your needs but suits your vision for the future – a place that facilitates comfort, creativity, and familiarity. Just from the sort of people who purchase and rent in the city, I know there would be good demand for premium brands and would be successful on the high street.Your home reflects who you are, a place where you can centre yourself before the busy day ahead, a space to anchor yourself and unwind after a long week. “If we can improve the offering, I think there is a big demand for high-end products as well. He admitted that a decade ago, he used to dread going into Valletta, but now that it has been given a facelift and so many buildings have been restored and preserved, it has undoubtedly become a pleasure.Īsked for his vision for the future, Mr Spiteri Paris said that he hopes to see the city preserved in its current glory, but perhaps that is better served by certain amenities and higher-end brands. You get people who could afford to live anywhere in the world, but they come to Valletta and fall in love.” “As a company, we deal with mid to high end of the market too, so we have rented and sold some of the nicest properties there. Mr Spiteri Paris again stressed that Valletta “will always remain an excellent investment”, adding that “it will be preserved and is one of the nicest cities in Europe”. “Valletta’s architecture is what makes it so unique as a market, and what makes it a good investment in the long term.” He also remarked that even gaming companies have started to take interest, referring to one particular client who felt that the modern iGaming offices found outside of Valletta today can feel rather clinical. He shared that some foreign investors and companies visit the city and fall in love, which leads them to request office space or commercial space in the capital. Mr Spiteri Paris added however that despite this challenge, he acknowledged that it is ultimately a “good thing” to have limited stock in Valletta, since in his view, the long-term goal should be to preserve the capital and not develop it. “The frustration comes when considering the limited supply,” he added. Valletta has evolved into a micro-market, where people come specifically for the city, be it to live or work. Now we have a dramatic increase in demand for residential property. ![]() “It is a prestigious address so the demand for commercial real estate makes sense. He said that the agency often received inquiries about retail or office space, but now, this has evolved to include rapid demand for residential properties in the city, both from a sales and a rental perspective. On the demand side, he shared that years ago it was only commercial real estate that people were interested in. Today, they have vanished and turned into Planning Authority permits thanks to the investment flowing in”, he remarked. “When I first started working in real estate in Valletta 12 years ago, you would only ever see ‘for sale’ signs all around. ![]() Mr Spiteri Paris shared that his estate agency largely deals with mid to high range properties in the capital, and that demand for all levels of property has exploded in recent years. Viewed as the touristic, cultural and administration hub of Malta, the capital is also important to the local business community.ĭiscussing the importance of Valletta’s continued development to Malta as a whole, Robert Spiteri Paris, Managing Director of Perry Estate Agents took part in Thursday morning’s session of The Boardroom, aired live on WhosWho.mt’s Facebook page and presented by business writer Jo Caruana.

That alone puts this episode into the all-timers bracket, but then there’s that hyper-intense volleyball game, Charles Minor (Idris Elba) getting really competitive with Jim, and how none of it mattered when Pam and Jim found out she was pregnant. Michael Scott is guilty of some of TV’s cringiest moments, but I don’t know that they ever topped the horrific sketch comedy presentation from “Company Picnic,” one filled with an unfortunate recreation of scenes from Slumdog Millionaire and the news that another branch (in attendance with their families) was about to go under. Company Picnic (Season 5, Episode 28) NBC They showed us time and time again why these two needed to be together.Ĥ7. ![]() Greg Daniels and company didn’t just tell us this was a perfect pair, working backward to make the case. In so many shows, they get papered over by grand romance and big feelings, but it’s the show’s ability to highlight those that allow us to feel the Jim/Pam pairing so deeply. Those kinds of moments are like tiny magnets, drawing people closer and closer together. The charm of Michael showing off his savant-like schmooze skills is the same here as he puts on a clinic in boozy business lunch moves, but the episode makes it onto the list for that unforgettable stolen moment on the roof with Jim and Pam and then the stunning adorableness of them splitting a pair of earbuds. Predictably, things turn dirty, but Michael once again proves that underneath the facade of a complete jackass lives a complete jackass who has a system that works for him (and him alone) when it comes to his people person persona. The fight between Dunder Mifflin and Michael Scott Paper Company gets fierce, pitting Michael against Dwight. ![]() Heavy Competition (Season 5, Episode 24) NBC Jim and Pam’s fairytale coupling was built on a lot of romantic gestures - large and small - but the true measure of a relationship can sometimes come in those heavier times, such as this season 9 episode when Jim is trying very hard to make Pam happy, essentially using his considerable scheme powers to hijack a bus to blow off work and get some pie.Ĥ9. We can’t expect a show to continuously operate on a nosebleed level of comedic excellence (though The Office went on a few tears in its early years where it seemed possible) so while it’s critical that you re-watch and binge this show from time to time (it’s on Peacock) to awaken your appreciation for it, if you just don’t have the time right now or you just want to turn on a few favorites to celebrate reports of a reboot, here are the 50 best Office episodes to rewatch. If you’re an Office fan, those stand-out episodes probably involve elaborately planned pranks, fire drills gone wrong, dinner party disasters, and a B-list action film that just happens to take place within a TV show. Maybe they stand out because a beloved background character gets a chance to shine or a will-they-won’t-they couple finally makes good on some built-up sexual tension. It’s said that truly good TV shows age like fine wine, but even with a series as masterfully done and phenomenally funny as The Office, certain episodes tend to rise above the rest. ![]() ![]() It is really important that these screws are well below the surface, as you don’t want them interfering with the sled riding on the rails. With the sides done, I added glue to the bottom of the sides, clamped them to the base, and then added countersunk screws from the underside of the sled. I glued the pieces together, added a few brad nails to hold them in place, and then added some 1 ¼” screws to tighten everything up. I cut the sides to length at the miter saw using some offcuts of plywood I had on hand. Since I used ½” plywood for the bottom of the sled, I wanted to make sure it was nice and stiff, which is the reason I went with double layered plywood for the sides. Once I knew the width I needed, I ripped the plywood to width on the table saw.įor the side walls, I used two strips of ¾” plywood glued together. I made the base out of ½” plywood, which allowed me to get more depth without having to use a collet extension on my router. I sized the base of the sled to be wide enough to fit the base of my router plus the widths of the side walls of the sled. This sled rides on two rails, one on each side of the slab. These jigs are fairly simple to make, you basically just need a sled for your router to ride on above the slab. ![]() After a 60 grit sanding with the Rotex first to remove the mill marks and then progress in grit to 220 with a random orbit sander and you get a smooth flat finish.The first step in this build is to make the router flattening jig. Once you’re done, remove the router and the sled and sweep off your work. Note, I didnt need the shim anymore because this side was now flat. Once you surface one side, flip your work over and repeat the process. Now slowly move onto the surface of the workpiece and make your first cut by slowly passing the router over the surface, adjusting it about 3/4″ on each pass. Make sure your router bit is away from the surface of the workpiece and turn the router on. I also used a shim here to remove any rocking. Since the work piece weighs over 40 lbs, there’s no need to fasten it down, it will stay in place. To hold my workpiece in place, I used 150 lb mag switches to keep the work piece from moving laterally. Just plunge down until the bit makes contact. ![]() Now with the router OFF, find the lowest point on the surface of the material. This tool gives you the ability to extend all the way down to the workpiece. I used a 1 1/4″ mortising bit, but I could have used a surfacing bit just as easily. ![]() Now just cut the sides for the sled with a miter saw. Once again, exercise caution with your hands and keep them well away from the blade. Make sure when you cut the other side that you secure the waste piece in the middle with your fingers so that it doesn’t wander into the blade and cause kickback. Now run the piece across the blade until you reach the holes on either end. ** PLEASE USE CAUTION** always be aware of where your hands are with regard to the blade since you are blindly raising the blade through the work piece. Turn on your saw and slowly raise the blade up through the plywood. Use feather boards to keep constant downward and lateral pressure against the work piece.With the saw blade retracted, slide the work piece over the blade. This will serve as the beginning and end of the slot. At the drill press, drill two 1 1/2″ holes at either end of the sled bottom. Add 1/32″ to this measurement to allow just enough room to prevent binding when the router moves across the sled. To cut the bottom of the sled, use your router’s base to set the width of the cut. ![]() ![]() The TOOWELL Motion Sensor Ceiling Light features 80 bright and long-lasting SMD2835 LED bulbs that provide 400 lumens of bright white light.
