It means the place is uninsulated and like living in a refrigerator for most of the year. EDIT: But that little houseboat is really cute.

I may have been joking but I am putting in the square shaped ones since I like the appearance more, and I got a ten pack of the outlets and covers for $20

I think they mean decora receptacles? v and yeah personally decora strikes me as extremely "1980s modernist" rather than modern but no judgement corgski fucked around with this message at 21:08 on Jul 13, 2020 |

Wait, are decora outlets really considered dated looking? Whoops, I replaced all the outlets in my house with decora cause they look much nicer to me. (The old ones were all painted over and backstabbed, so they needed to be gone anyway).

I'm going to do those for my switches too. I think the only things where you have to have visible screws is coaxial, phone jack and blank plates.

MetaJew posted:gently caress that lady. FTFY But also y’all are allowed to like them. I just viscerally associate decora fixtures with the same sort of lovely 1980s “renovations” that put venetian blinds in victorians after cutting out all the original trim. Anyway I have no room to talk about what’s dated, I’m installing reproduction push button switches in my house.  e: Here’s a cursed bathroom as a palate cleanser.

They originally had whatever those round outlets are in 'almond' with a thin coat of cigarette residue and dog piss. In the UK only the most budget-level outlets have visible screws, these days. Even the standard B&Q ones have a fascia - often brushed chrome, stainless steel etc - that hides the slightly-recessed outlet.

Slugworth posted:I mean, I wasn't actually sweating it, just was curious if that was a consensus among design minded folk or something. Sounds like not though. No, but the comment was made because of how it was brought up - as if this style switch and outlet which was introduced in 1973 is an indicator of modernity. It is not, but if that's what you like then go for it. I have no particular preference other than "please for the love of god choose ONE style for everything and stick with it to the extent possible." My 1960-s build house has traditional outlets and toggle switches. I've stuck with these where possible, but I have to have some hybrid decora/toggle wall plates in bathrooms (GFCI outlets and fan timers) or just single outlet decora plates in various wet areas for GFCIs.

We don't have a whole lot of fancy designer outlets in Australia (probably because it's extremely illegal to do any sort of wiring or cabling work without a licence; and nobody is going to pay $150 to get an electrician to walk through the front door plus whatever they charge hourly just for cosmetic poo poo) Also it weirds me out that US outlets don't have power switches on them. I feel like that's a safety hazard.

(The old ones were all painted over and backstabbed, so they needed to be gone anyway). My outlet covers also have vertical grooves in them, which are just great to collect dirt if that's your jam. I probably wont go full on screwless covers due to cost, but may consider it in the kitchen or something.
