And the receps would still be legal.

Which is an excellent illustration of why "legal" needs to be tempered with a bit of common sense.

True. If I was told by the HO to put all the receps at 48" AFF, I'd probably put a few more in than required. Instead of 10-12' apart, they'd by 6-8'.

I don't like to place the box in a seam, it makes it a PITA to tape and you always end up with mud in the box. I have been using 54" rock more and more these days.

only about 1 in every 50 jobs do the electricians push all the wires in to the back of the box. If somebody is breaking boxes by pushing the wires in to the back of the box they must be chinnese boxes or the guy is just a total jack. We have never broke a box by pushing the wires in.
