The box is crooked across the face of the sheetrock. The rock cannot be properly cut with a router and the device cannot be properly installed.

It's not in good order, the switches are not properly grounded. It really doesn't matter how many generations of work are there, code says all new work must meet code, and yours doesn't.

You bitch about the work of the rock hanger but the conditions you provided caused most of the problems. I'm not saying the rock hangar did a great job, clearly he didn't. I am saying the rock hanger was given a load of crap to work with.

He can't cut properly with a router because the toggle switch holds the rock so far from the box that the router doesn't ride on the edge of the box.

Clearly you don't know the proper order of things nor do you know electrical code. I'm guessing the real hack is you.

Home Depot baned me from their store because of the pile 2" drops I left in their parking lot. Said I was littering. But that's okay. Lowes carries special 45.5" sheets of drywall. They store it in the back just ask for it next time you go in.

My profits are down the tubes now that Home Depot no longer gives away their broken up sheets of drywall anymore.
