Cover hole in ceiling above electrical panel
Hi, I had my electrical panel replaced this week, my old electrical panel was unfortunately in a wooden "box" that needed to be removed to make room for the new electrical panel. That wooden box was in turn connected to my lowered plaster ceiling (due to spotlights) which resulted in a hole in the ceiling right above the electrical panel. I was thinking of checking here for advice and suggestions on how to fix this in a neat way? There is room to fit a plasterboard between the electrical panel and the plaster ceiling there. Could I just cover it up with a plasterboard in a way that looks nice? Or do I have to fix this like in the video below? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AavxYAAjKhI The problem is that it will be hard to spackle, sand and then paint where the hole was since it's right underneath the electrical panel. This is not my area of expertise so all advice and suggestions are welcome! https://preview.redd.it/vtw855q0c9qe1.jpg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=87eba3be3c4673a28b5baa091de2134b36b12aa4 https://preview.redd.it/tkck23q0c9qe1.jpg?width=2250&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3c7d222077a8acf00689d88bf3e72503d6820ff6 https://preview.redd.it/il23zrq0c9qe1.jpg?width=2250&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e045c9ad5bdb89affd6455e136a336ad2163e05a submitted by /u/PlentyBet4614 [link] [comments]
