Perhaps you may think being a perfectionist is simple, something that anyone can be good at. Well I hate to disappoint you, but that is far from the truth. As an example, not only does a perfectionist have to build, construct, repair, or fabricate a perfect solution, he has to first find all those problems that lend themselves to having perfect soulutions implemented. Here is a wonderful example: Yes, a lowly little outdoor plug - all it has to do is sit there and provide power safely when you plug something into it right? I mean really, how can you actually find fault with a properly and safely installed outdoor plug? Well, that's actually wrong, and a perfectionist can find fault...that is his or her duty! Not only does it have to work properly and safely, it also has to be aesthetically pleasing, and functionally located.
BEFORE: A GFCI decora
style outlet in a modern rectangular box with decora style weather cover. It is located directly above the coal chute. Ugly and inconvenient if you ask me!
AFTER: A traditional
duplex style receptacle, with the old style twin covers. It is not a GFCI, but it does have GFCI protection, as it is wired in sequence after a GFCI located in the crawlspace uner the front sunroom.

Yes your handy work is very nice David. The original outdoor recept. looks early 70's and was probably to code back then.
