I already had electrical outlets installed prior to sheetrock...
I have a major renovation going on and during framing, plumbing and
electrical rough in I got sick of dragging a 100' extension cord everywhere and have to use those dim work lights after dark so I went ahead and install most of the outlets. Now I am ready to do sheet rock I am wondering if I should remove the outlets so they don't get damaged during sheet rock installation or get rolled on later when I paint the walls...or should I just tape over them and peel the tape off later? It will be some work to remove these outlets from the boxes and install them back later, we are talking about 72 outlets. I also wonder if I can just unscrew the outlets and stick them into the electrical box. I will be hiring out for the sheet rock work, do they typically precut the wall board for the electrical cutouts? I think they have to since I already have the mud rings on, right? Thanks, MC |
