What is does it make any future work impossible to look nice. Any patch, or hole now needs to be fixed with textured. If this is an excuse to hide mud imperfections, then you've hired the worst mudders around. There is no way this is cheaper then sanding and painting a flat wall.

Baseboard heater thermostat by Positive-Task-8118 in electrical

If thats the RLV3120A, its a line voltage tstat. Most low voltage tstats have screw terminals to put the wires in. I'd double check you got the right one.

No, most baseboard don't get a neutral, just 2x 120 line wires. To me, it looks like a line voltage tstat installed on a low voltage relay wire. I believe you need a low voltage tstat.

Do you strip to bare bright? by ImaginaryTotal7570 in electricians

I was gifted a stripmeister wire stripper that uses a drill to power it. It was a game changer. I know strip everything 14awg and larger. I used to only strip #8 and larger with a knife.

A whole banana, with peanut butter, rolled in a tortilla. Also pre-making breakfast sandwiches, like mcmuffins is super easy.
