I'm still waiting to trim out the one I roped last month. I have no idea what they are going to want for receptical covers. They make all kinds of fancy "woodsie" ones.

If they want anything other than plastic/nylon, they'd better pay for it.
 
This small problem became a major issue for us.:mad: We had a lot of complaints! That, the Leviton looked light green, to yellow or they did not match from one to another. I have stopped using Leviton all together. I switched to P&S because the Lutron dimmer are exact match. Also there Almond is much nicer and there screw less plate are really nice.

I had the same problem about one year ago. Here is what i found out ; the plates and devices are made in two different countrys. I called leviton htey dont care! Sop from then on I use pass and seymore not only do they match all the time they are made in AMERICA.

The plates are, however the P&S resi grade stuff is made in any of three places: US, China and Mexico. You have to check the fine print on the box, but it seems like most of it is from China now.

Sorry. I drove down to the couple's place 60 miles away, switched it, took a picture, drove back, and posted it.
And I decided the coax and phone jacks should be swapped, so . . .

now that looks sweet except your rec is upside down;)
Oh my goodness. You're not one of those "install the receptacle upside down or ground slot up are you?" I can't figure you guys out. If you want to do it in commercial fine. But in a house unless it's your own you should avoid doing that. Don't try to make a home look like an institution. There is no good reason to do that!! Very ugly.

But white receptacles in a log home WOULD NOT be ugly. :rolleyes:

YOUR way is not the only way.
