Electrician cut too large an opening for an outlet, and I tiled around that oversized opening
https://imgur.com/a/1eLd6Ts You can see the issue above, and this is with an oversized outlet cover. Essentially, when the sparky cut the drywall for the outlet, he overshot. I should've remembered to account for this when I did the backsplash, but I unfortunately did not. Here are the options I see : Redo the two problematic tiles (not at all ideal, and I'm not even sure I'd be able to get it to look perfect). Move the electrical box up very slightly. I think this would allow me to cover the hole. Find an even larger cover? Any ideas from you wonderful lot? submitted by /u/Nillionnaire [link] [comments]
