Future inlaws coming tommorow. Was painting all last night with

First off, dont even think about switching it.

It's probably old cloth wire in a metal box, judging from the outlet. The cloth will probably disintegrate if you move it. If you were experienced you wouldnt be asking, if you mess it up you'll either be calling someone experienced that'll charge you a lot, or you'll catch something on fire cause it'll be arcing inside the box.

Pull the house main fuse or flip the main breaker. If it's oil based paint use a thinner and scrape it off or if its latex just peel it off. If you go the thinner route don't use something that melts platic(like acetone) and make sure its completely dry before putting power back on.

If you dont feel like losing all power in the house it should be a 20 amp circuit. Doesnt mean it will be though.

Should have just taken the plates off, an ounce of prevention etc etc.

Don't listen to this idiot. Just use a knife and scrape that shit off asap, make sure to get in there good and deep (like you try to with the gf), and don't bother cutting the power anywhere, that'll just slow you down. It's perfectly safe OP. As always, post results!

Do what everyone else does... shrug your shoulders and then push it the plug. But you have to look at the blockage and then shrug your shoulders or it won't work.

> board is full of graybeards
Thats right. When you become one of us you'll realise that you don't actually need to have your little special snowflake voice of disapproval heard, and you'll learn to simply ignore shit. This thread would have 404'd with fuck all replies if you faggots could learn some fucking self control.
