Having/after and sentence order
I have two questions. One regarding the use of "having" and "after" and the other about the sentence placement of an object:
1) Does the sentence "Having done A, I will do B" implies the same meaning as "After I do A, I will do B"?
2) Which sentence would be correct: "Having picked up your important parcel, I will try to be as careful as I can be with it" or "Having picked up your important parcel, I will try to be as careful with it as I can be"?
Or an another example: "I will be as ostentatious with my project as I can be" or "I will be as ostentatious as I can be with my project"
Thank you in advance!
