Reply to How should I raise the level of the floor on concrete in an enclosed porch? by codenoggin

Minority opinion maybe: If the height difference is about an inch, it seems like a lot of work and expense to try to get it level.

Reply to Painting; Sanding walls before adding a new layer of paint by simon_chess123

Do you have a closet you can use to experiment? Sand one wall without painting and paint the other without sanding. See what look you prefer and if it's worth the extra effort. If there's a big difference in colors, especially going from dark to light, you may want to prime first.

Reply to Attaching TV wall mount - how to avoid electrical wiring in the walls? by Vyzantinist

Just for your piece of mind, turn off the breakers for that area. Use your stud finder to find the stud. Again, to be sure, tap a very small nail into the wood to be sure. Then drill. As others pointed out, wires are attached to the side of the stud so as long has you're hitting wood, no worries.
