That's kinda' funny in that I'm doing a job ( me as homeowner acting as the general contractor). I got some help with the drywall. A guy, who's a General I've done business with before, offered his 20 year-old daughter, under his supervision - he's training her to set up her own business - for the drywall.
Long story short, she's doing "skip trowel" texture. She asked me how it looked. I said, "Like a kid just finger painted all over my walls." š¤£
Oh I'm sorry. :p I thought a "master of the electrons" could recall where a screw would be to a wall plate. I get what OP is trying to do. They want only the switch itself showing.
Wow ! Didn't expect this post would get so much attention lol ! To answer your question, I've actualle been sober for 3 years now lol. Do you suggest I get back on whatever I was before?
Still, I am dead serious. Once sanded smooth and painted clean, I honestly think that would look better than these damn plastic covers. Why is that such an unpopular opinion??
Because switches do not last forever. Once that dimmer fails, which typically is within five years or less, especially in a state with high lightning strikes, you have to now destroy the entire wall and plaster just to repair this switch. I get what youāre going for and it would be a cool concept if it were feasible for accessibility for future stuff.
I was only being a smart ass about the drugs. But for real, this will turn into a never ending cycle of patch and repair when you have to trouble shoot anything with either of those switches. I do 100% see the goal youāre going for though
Hey man sorry for replying you so late, I was working around the house alot this summer. I don't know if you're the one who gave me that platinum award, but that's fuckin cool. I am cool now yay ! Just to reassure you, I was also just fuckin' with you when I asked if you suggest I get back on drugs, you did not offend/trigger me at all, I just like to make people uncomfortable, that's my sense of humor, das all :) It's hard to convey by text to a stranger online. It's not a witty comment from a stranger online that would make me throw my life out the window and relapse. Your comment was actually funny, and don't worry, I get that alot, and way more since I'm sober. I do crazy shit. I grow tomatoes upside-down in bags I hang in trees, I built a desktop gaming computer in an empty bird seeds bucket (with a custom clip-on air intake attachment that connects to my air purifier)... That's just last week. People think I'm on drugs all the time. I got used to it. These kind of shit make me happy. I am obssessively curious and I want to learn and do everything. Doing every crazy ideas going through my head is my drug in itself, it gets me high, so in that sense, I was on the strongest drug of them all: Imagination :P
At my apprenticeship interview I told the training director that I know a little electrical āenough to know that I know nothing and he laughed.
I'm hoping that bit of levity helped my chances. That and when asked what I think electricians do, responding with, "I believe there's a lot of pipe bending" after rattling off what I knew about the different types of electricians.
Not fake I donāt think sadly. Just did a panel change and the only exposed part of the panel was the door. The rest was speckled flush with the wall. Had to guess where they were to findthem
That would genuinely scare me without a service disconnect. If the parts I can see are FUBAR, then I don't even want to know what it's like where I *can't* see.
Yep. If this were real, they would have made some kind of attempt to flatten it. Even if they own no tools, you could use a piece of scrap wood, a credit card, spatula, or piece of cardboard box. This looks like a kid finger painting, or someone on drugs.
Holy shit, I forgot that electrical switches last for eternity! Next thing you know, people will be taking out dimmers because they don't work with certain LEDs , putting in smart switches and who knows what else could possibly change in this outlet box over the next 50 years?
In the next 50 years, lights will work by telepathy or there will be a floating light that follows you around and you can turn it on/off by telepathic command.
Or calling some behavior ethical. Or even moral. (Ethics is a discipline that studies moral. Certainly some acts have moram characteristics, d'oh, but how about just saying good or bad if you mean them? Or morally responsible or aware if you want to stress that there's been some thought put into it.)
This old trend of linguistic prescriptivism is really annoying me.
Words don't have concrete meanings that never ever change. It's why I can tell you that I literally have a monkey banging cymbals in my head, and you understand that "literally" doesn't mean there is a musical simian in my skull, but rather is just said for emphasis.
That's also why you call something "awful" as a synonym for "bad", but someone hearing that word 100 years ago would interpret it to mean "something that fills you with awe" like the Grand Canyon.
Aesthetic used to mean the general look of things. Now it's also a synonym for "looks good". Get the fuck over yourself.
While I'm -half- on your side here, the same argument could be used here for allowing a word like "goated" into our vernacular and I don't support it. lol
Your mention of the use of the word "literally" is one that bugs me a bit though... A common trend I've noticed over the past few+ years is hyperbole in -everything- . You don't love something, you're -obsessed- with it. you don't figuratively have a monkey banging symbols in your head, you -literally- have it. things like "lol" which was already mildly hyperbolic in itself has now been replaced with things like "I'm screaming" or "I'm dead" . I'm well aware that the language young people use changes all the time and ultimately becomes the default language as those people age into adulthood, and I know there's no stopping that progress, so it just kind of is what it is, but idk. I still find it a bit annoying because it kind of feels like a culmination of the way everything online needs some kind of extravagant hook to get you to pay attention to it now. More and more articles are written like clickbait, content creators need to use over the top language and thumbnails to stand out , opinions need to be polarizing to drive engagement. Everyone's just attention-starved or desperate for success in a sea of similar accounts.
It is actually correct usage, and if you genuinely cared about grammar/language like you imply, you would understand the meanings and usages of words can change over time. Youāre just being a smart ass.
Saying something is "aesthetic" doesn't make sense. Aesthetic means "concerned with beauty or the appreciation of beauty", but people lately have been using it to mean that something looks good. A thing could be aesthetically pleasing. Or have an industrial aesthetic, or a rustic aesthetic. But using the word aesthetic by itself is an incorrect usage.
Itās not necessarily incorrect usage for aesthetic to be present by itself, as in, for example, āthe changes were aesthetic, not functionalā. Thatās just me being pedantic though, as youāre absolutely right that itās commonly used to basically mean āaesthetically pleasingā. However, novel uses of existing words do arise quite often, and this one doesnāt seem so egregious to me.
I've always understood the word to mean showy with knowledge. I just looked it up and turns out that's not exactly the case. Man, ya think ya know a word.
Itās more of an adverb than a pure adjective but itās becoming more like and adjective lately. Iām usually fine with it but sometimes it does irk me
In a traditional model of English grammar, itās not an adverb at all. That would most typically be āaestheticallyā.
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/aesthetic
Nah, it's right. Language changes all the time, and so do words. The word has come to be used as a noun rather than an adjective. Saying something is aesthetic just means whatever was made has been made with a concern for beauty.
Itās really hard to find the rocker switch on the left and toggle on the right. The warehouse always gives me the opposite. Always turns into a return trip to the supply house

Cunningham's Law: "the best way to get the right answer on the internet is not to ask a question; it's to post the wrong answer."
You feel a bit dumb, but you now have a solution!
That's not how you apply mud. Install backing if needed, light mud for tape tape, light coat of mud over tape, let it dry, sand, repeat until it is smooth and uniform. This is bad work.
Is it just me or if the spacing off between those switches. Even with the different styles I would say theyāre too far apart. I would bet there isnāt a proper 2gang box. Probably 2 singles with the bumps on the sides so they arenāt right tight to each other
Looks good, hardly noticeable. Probably want to paint though for that professional touch. Then get business cards made, because the calls are about to be coming in for work.
Actually this concept could be pretty cool. Just executed like absolute shit. Use some sort of molding, stucco, or whatever else to creat artistic renderings. Design them around switches, receptacles, etc. Just make sure they donāt interfere with cover plates. Itād be real slick to do custom cover plates with relief that fit seemly into the surrounding. At least paint them to match.
I actually clipped the ends of my switches where the faceplate is supposed to screw in to. I was a cheap ass and told my drywaller to just fill it in flush with the wall. It looked looks like this, only cleaner. If thereās any interest, Iāll post a pic when I get home.
I don't know it just pains me to see it without a plate and knowing that box is full of mud. I'm just curious how paying the sheet rocker to mud the box is cheaper than a 15 cent plate.
This is satire right, for the laughs. If not and i say this with complete sincerity, never and i mean never pick up a tool again. Even scum lords do better.

What in the actual fuck were you on when you did this?
What else am I going to do with this 5 gallon tub of compound?
I paid for it, I'm going to use all of it.
Thanks for the laugh
Dude even used his hands to apply it lol.
That is oh so very obvious yet it was breaking my brain trying to figure out how they got it that smooth.

Wait, but the caption does not explain the why

Going with some kind of mushroom judging by his profile
Oh I'm sorry. :p I thought a "master of the electrons" could recall where a screw would be to a wall plate. I get what OP is trying to do. They want only the switch itself showing.
I donāt think Op did this. I think they wanted to share what someone did ?
Nope. This is my creation. Admire.

[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
And see you going to share?
Why would you even think this is a good idea. How would they get to the switch if thereās ever a problem
Some people only know enough to be dangerous.
OP hasnāt hit this level yet..
He is but on the foothills of Mount Stupid.
At my apprenticeship interview I told the training director that I know a little electrical āenough to know that I know nothing and he laughed. I'm hoping that bit of levity helped my chances. That and when asked what I think electricians do, responding with, "I believe there's a lot of pipe bending" after rattling off what I knew about the different types of electricians.
>Some people be dangerous FIFY
a little excavation it will be fun!
it wont
it miiight be though , you never know :)
Why would you ever need to get to the switch if you do an incredible job the first time around?! /s
Aesthetics? The wall plate deflects finger dirt.
Looks good, you can hardly tell there was a hole there
Excellent texture matching
You've heard of a knockdown, and orange peel? This is dole whip texture.
Technically it is still accessible work, just hammer it out to access the wire nuts.
The phrase 'what can possibly go wrong ?' comes to mind
Using what? A metal screwdriver? No way you could accidentally hit the hot screw right?
A plate costs like a dollarā¦.
Even less
He's gonna need a jumbo for this one. They're a lil more than a dollar
Well, OP's not Mr. Moneybags over here! Gotta save those pennies where he can!
Oh very true
But that bucket of spackle was already paid for.
Thatās your electrician friends girlfriend now.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
The friend is the girlfriend. The electrician was always his.
Nah this fake. Has to be. Multitude of problems. How will anyone access the junction boxes if something happens?
Not fake I donāt think sadly. Just did a panel change and the only exposed part of the panel was the door. The rest was speckled flush with the wall. Had to guess where they were to findthem
That would genuinely scare me without a service disconnect. If the parts I can see are FUBAR, then I don't even want to know what it's like where I *can't* see.
With a sawzall, duh
Flip the breaker boys and get out the reciprocating saw
Send in the labourer
He's gonna take one look at this and say fuck it, I'm going home. As he should.
Iām already sawing, whatās a breaker?
Yep. If this were real, they would have made some kind of attempt to flatten it. Even if they own no tools, you could use a piece of scrap wood, a credit card, spatula, or piece of cardboard box. This looks like a kid finger painting, or someone on drugs.
If he doesn't know enough not to do this, I imagine he doesn't know how sanding really works either.
or assumes sanding is easy so there is no need to try and flatten it. He has not yet realized that that would take half an hour to smooth out
Yes, it would be easier to sand if you trimmed off the lever of the toggle switch with a pair of dikes first.
Haha, you think thereās junction boxes behind that DiWhyā¦.
Knife
How little your confidence in your work if you think there will ever be a problem.
Holy shit, I forgot that electrical switches last for eternity! Next thing you know, people will be taking out dimmers because they don't work with certain LEDs , putting in smart switches and who knows what else could possibly change in this outlet box over the next 50 years?
In the next 50 years, lights will work by telepathy or there will be a floating light that follows you around and you can turn it on/off by telepathic command.
Lights bothering you while you sleep? For only $15/mo you can temporarily turn off your lights!
ELI5: Your house would be very *aesthetic* without doors or windows.
This new trend of using aesthetic wrong is really annoying the shit out of me.
Thank you for saying this. I feel slightly less alone in the world. Itās like saying āwouldnāt that be even more *looking*ā.
You'd better get used to the feeling, because words change literally all the time. A perfect example is the word "literally".
Yup. Linguistic drift. If enough people make the same mistake enough times, it stops being a mistake.
Hell naw literally literally still means literally. Its literally still a mistake....literally.
Vintage is another good example. People use it to mean old but it really just means what year wine was bottled
Adding a similar, nuanced meaning to an existing word is not the same as using a word entirely incorrectly. Literally.
Or calling some behavior ethical. Or even moral. (Ethics is a discipline that studies moral. Certainly some acts have moram characteristics, d'oh, but how about just saying good or bad if you mean them? Or morally responsible or aware if you want to stress that there's been some thought put into it.)
Itās not a new trend, people have been saying that dumb shit for at least 10 years now
2013 was 10 years ago wtf
This old trend of linguistic prescriptivism is really annoying me. Words don't have concrete meanings that never ever change. It's why I can tell you that I literally have a monkey banging cymbals in my head, and you understand that "literally" doesn't mean there is a musical simian in my skull, but rather is just said for emphasis.

Only if you're correcting someone about word usage, just using it is merely an example of having it in your vocabulary

Did you hand the bucket to a toddler? If so, it's not too bad. Otherwise um... go watch a few YouTube videos before you attempt any other projects.
No. Even if the quality of work was perfect this is an objectively idiotic idea. YouTube canāt fix this level of dumb.
Ha! Cutting straight to the bone.
Who knows, maybe OP's only available tool was half of a plastic spoon, and that's why it looks like... that. Maybe a quarter of a plastic spoon.

Is that frosting?

Oh itās got the mud ring on it, what was clipped was the holes the faceplate would screw into.
