How bad is it to have 1/4" to 1/2" gaps by light
switches and outlets? I measured twice and still had to cut three times to

1/4" is sloppy but still acceptable. 1/2" is not acceptable -- way too big a
gap. Fill that with joint compound (the setting type, that you mix with water,
not the pre-mixed stuff).
