Outlet Covers are the death of me
If you have rehabbed a house, you most likely updated the outlets covers to give that fresh clean look. If you are like me, you replaced the outlet and the cover. I randomly stumbled upon this article that is a game changer, and wanted to share it with you all. http://dreamdesigndiy.com/easy-electrical-outlet-c...
If you already knew about this, I am very jealous of you and the time I will never get back in my life. However, if you did not know about this little tip (and "Hallelujah" is playing in your head while you are reading the article, like it was in mine) then your welcome. Hope this saves you the same amount of time/money that I know it is going to save me! Is it weird that I now am excited to update some outlets???

DO NOT USE THIS TO COVER A TWO PRONG OUTLET.
(1) any modern 3-prong plug will not fit because the ground plug is missing
(2) anything you do to make a 3-prong plug work is illegal and dangerous as the ground connection is not available.
