Check out how this comcast installer ran wiring

s framed that way. The entire house. It was a concrete block wall house, fu= rred out on the inside, and every wall except the furring nailed to the blo= cks was framed crooked. My installer shimmed the boxes for keypads and othe= r stuff so keypads would come out straight. It was funny as hell when we we= re accused of putting all our stuff in crooked by the contractor, because i= t didn't match all the crooked switches and crooked outlets. I handed him a= stud finder and a level and told him to take his pick. LOL.

I often get into that same situation with electricians who do not align the= ir boxes, wall plates and fixtures, square on. I put everything up on the = wall with a level. Everything on the ceiling is centered between walls or l= ighting fixtures when possible. When the builder/homeowner ask why my stuff= is crooked, or not centered, I tell them to use a tape measure or level an= d see who's straight and who's crooked.=20

It's really a tough life to lead ...... when you're such a perfectionist. (= sigh)
