If I am not mistaken I think that in new construction, most people install light switches and electrical outlets after floating and painting the walls. Correct? I am beginning to question my own assumption on that and wanted to get some other opinions on this.
I have had a new room addition that we installed the light switches and outlets to AFTER all the all the drywall taped and floated, and even painted. The problem was that there was so much drywall compound floated around the areas of the electrical switches and outlets boxes that it was near impossible to even see the screw holes for the gang boxes. There was considerable time and effort in cutting out the excess drywall mud just so we could cleanly install the light switches. :eek: How do you avoid such a situation?
Do you guys install light switches and outlets before OR after floating drywall compound?
