This weekend was another
round of replacing outlets and switches. The 3 switch in the kitchen was the
most problematic, it was on an angle and I had cut the trim around the old
switch plate. I wasn’t able to completely straighten it, but I did fix the trim
so it fix the new larger switch plate.
All the switches and outlets
are now replaced on both levels. Even the kitchen ones, which we had tried to
replace before but ran into issues with an extra wire and then tile causing
them to not sit flush. I managed to fix both issues with a little research and
some plastic shims.
And now we know: with the extra wire, you have to cut the little metal piece on the side of the outlet and then run the extra wire as a second hot wire
