An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

In the summer time I try and get more creative and when ever possible I'll climb onto a roof or go by the water for example.
Except when I'm working for this one particular elderly couple. I don't even pack my lunch because they always cook for me.
Edit: Done
I honestly don't know. There are a few spots like this throughout the apartment, and they've clearly been patched before - now those patches are failing. I don't like to "paint over rust" but would rather figure out the source of the problem, but I can't explain this other than by poor surface prep, painting over wet plaster, or low-quality products. None of that, however, explains why they were patched in the first place.
As a burgeoning DIY:er, are there any particular tricks to fixing up old screw holes and wall damage or is it just a case of plaster, wait 'n paint?
If it's a white wall, the easiest fix is to just grab some white-drying filler, fill the holes, and leave it at that. It'll be nearly invisible - your eye won't catch it the way it does a dark hole.
The filler shrinks as it dries, so you'll need to layer it over a few days until it sits flat when dry. Done right - and without overdoing it - you won't even need to sand.
For non-white walls, same deal - just paint over it afterward. Note that matching the existing color perfectly is nearly impossible. For good results, you usually need to paint the entire wall.
Thanks for taking the time to reply :)
Thanks, well explained!
It's it physical damage maybe?
I’ve caused all sorts of destruction while moving furniture. My guess is, someone was moving a heavy bed made of steel. A hand slipped, the bed roller in an unexpected way and crashed into the wall.
Huh, that's weird.
