Thank you so so much!!
Do you think it would be possible to setup a washing machine to get hot/cold water and drain to under the kitchen sink?

I have to ask since you really seem to be able to explain things well: Do you think it would be possible to setup a washing machine to get hot/cold water and drain to under the kitchen sink?

The only truly correct way to repair would to be skim coated in its entirety. A good finisher can skim coat and finish sand both walls in half the time a DIYer could individually fill 1000+ holes and spot sand every one. Plus, the end result will look a thousand times better.
I’ve worked with a lot of finishers over my years in commercial construction and it truly is an art form.

I’ve been searching there - is something like this what you mean? Looks like this could work.

That shouldn't be a problem for you. If it doesn't work there won't be enough voltage running to the appliance. If you were trying to adapt an american appliance in most of the rest of the world you would be sending twice the rated voltage to the appliance.
I found this out with a fun little explosion that knocked my power out a couple of years ago.

Reply to Lightswitch mystery wiring by CmdrCody84
Did you try replacing the light? It's likely fluorescent or LED, both can flicker at end of life. Hopefully the light is replaceable. If the fan runs without stuttering in sync with the light, then it's the light that's the problem, not the switch.

I’ve traveled enough to know that you often can find adapters between American plugs and European/Chinese plugs. A LOT of electronics accept anything 50-60hz 108-240VAC and convert to 5VDC or whatever. A random light may or may not. I probably wouldn’t just plug it in a try, id check if it says what kind of power it accepts.

If it is an incandescent or Halogen bulb it souls just be pretty dim. It would never blow a fuse, because there is no shortage or anything.
The other way around (US Equipment in Europe) it would probably blow a fuse in the equipment (if it is not build for that case)

Probably not so easy. We use 230V over here, USA has 110V if I recall correctly

Not easily. You'd probably want a plumber for that.
