Family room remodel.

[Hank70SS]

So I bought a couple of those outlets with USB charging ports in them. Wanted to put one in the half wall. It's actually part of basement wall under the main floor of the house with paneling over it. The outlets are big, as big or bigger than a dimmer switch. Wouldn't fit in the metal post construction box in the wall. Hey, no problem, I'll get a newer plastic one that's larger inside. New box wouldn't fit through the opening in the paneling. Hey, no problem, get out the multi-tool and cut the paneling.

Hey, problem, paneling is about an inch from the concrete block wall behind it. They had busted out part of the concrete block to install the old box but not enough to slide the new in. Not wide enough and not deep enough. Get out the 3lb sledge and concrete chisel and wail away.

Nothing can ever be simple. As they say, "It's always something."
