Metal old-wiring boxes are available in every home improvement store

Instead of the flip-out tabs, they have a metal strip on the side that
deforms out behind the wall as the screw is turned, much like a molly-
bolt.


Around here, those are only available at supply houses. But
fortunately at least one of them is open on Saturday mornings.


Bull****. Judging by your IP address, "around here" appears to be Dallas, TX.
Are there no Lowe's, Home Depot, Menards, or Ace Hardware stores in the Dallas
area?
