Oversized New Work Electrical Box
Does anyone know of an over-sized, single-gang, new work, electrical box? The
standard ones with the swing out tabs are too small. The guy who re-sided my house with Hardiplank cut the opening for the outside outlet too large. I'm trying to avoid having to replace the piece of Hardiplank. |
