    What type of paint to use?

    Thank you! Also I have lined the walls with 1000 grade paper, can I paint straight over it or do I have to undercoat it first? Can I still use Vinyl paint for the walls even though I have lined? Thanks

    Plug socket question

    I just finished it, I had an old exstension lead and cut the plugs off and put on a 2 gang socket in the wall. Drilled through to the kitchen and plugged it in. The socket I plugged it into is behind the cupboards so you cant see anything! Thanks

    Hi I removed the wallpaper in my bathroom and it took off the original paint applied over the plaster. The paint came off very easy like it wasn't even attached to the wall in the first place. Now all the paper is off, the rest of the paint is starting to flake off. If it is not flaking...
