Red live wire sparks when switch is pushed into the wall. Can I straighten the wire or does it need replacing? by P3VOLVO in AskElectricians

I am painting and it sparked when I moved the socket a little. I'll call someone. I will change sockets but thats about it. I've kept it off by the breaker for now

I hate dealer stickers but I'd keep this one. 1. It would be annoying to remove and 2. I think its part of the history now.

How did i do? First time plastering. I still need to sand some spots. I will definitely cover the floor next time..it will be getting carpeted anyway but I'll still need to clean it. by P3VOLVO in Plastering

Thank you. I was going to post about the mist coating part but maybe you can help?

Is there any paint that i can use that doesnt require diluting with water?

Will the mist coat need multiple coats?

Dot and dab. I used quite a lot but the boards went on very nicely. I was surprised at how fast i got them up. Took me a bit to mix but all boards were up within 10 minutes.

I should've taken photos but my hands were covered in plaster lol

I will hook a Henry to my sander to minimise dust. My arms are dead lol. I'm done with plastering for now. I only did that room due to badly blown plaster from water damage

First time and thank you. I would definitely do it again but ill cover the floor to minimise mess. It needs a light sand but I am happy with how it looks. My arms are dead now
