nothing personal to the original poster, but why would
anyone use plastic boxes????? I know the obvious
answer is cost, but seriously.......a few pennies for the
quality and strength of steel?????

I know that all pros hate those plastic electrical boxes, but I' have
been using them anyway. Having put up drywall, I have just for the
first time realized that the notches that mark how far out the new-
work box should stick out are 3/8". What gives? Isn't 1/2" drywal
standard? Now all of my boxes are 1/8" too deep.


I like the plastic old work boxes with the flags, they seem to work
better than steel boxes with madison hangers. I've seen metal old work
boxes (in use by contractors) but can't find 'em in my local big boxes.
