Subjunctive posted:GFCI is done at the breaker now in a lot of places I'm sure the dude that made that haphazard rear end drywall cut, and got an outlet and cover plate in two different colors, probably from out the shed, and used what looks like drywall screws for the switch cover plate, bought a $60 breaker from Home Despot and installed it properly. I'm all about it though, I hate Decora devices, and I hate GFCIs more, because manipulating all those stiff wires into a box with a massive chunky outlet, then trying to get it to line up perfectly is an excersise in frustration. I'm wiring my new bathroom now, and you can bet it'll have a GFCI/AFCI outlet and normal receptacles.

The implication I got was that they cut a path through the studs to install the socket, compromising the structural integrity of the wall.

The bottom-shelf routers they sell at Lowes Depot will let the magic smoke out if you put a bit with a deep enough plunge on them to meaningfully hurt a stud and then attempt to do so through drywall. It's definitely possible, but I doubt this dipshit spent $300+ between router and bit. Far more likely the wire (which almost certainly isn't even Romex) is embedded in the drywall, uh, "patch" for the entire length of the run. The corner worries me. I don't see how they could have routed out the corner with what they almost certainly bought but I also don't see a cable or wires exposed there. Perhaps they're even more magnificently stupid than I imagine. E: wait this isn't the crappy construction thread, gently caress.

Probably used a Dremel to cut the groove for the wire and filled it in with spackle.

The meme reference is to this typo (or a related one) In their defence, "sawzall" is at least as stupid a name as "sawzaw" would've been, had it been real. Around here it is known as a tiger saw, for what I am sure are equally dumb reasons.

In fact a lotta of 20's jazz slang is coming back around and I for one and here for it. "Bop" should go back to meaning masturbation. Like Cyndi Lauper intended in her seminal anthem "She Bop"

I had to GoogleTM what a heck a 'sawzall' is. I thought it would be something exotic but it's just a (motored) NOIVEsaw and not even CYERAMIC.
