I just want to share something I stumbled upon; I always put in double outlets when we do a room over in our old house, but have had problems with getting the wires that connect the 2 together the right length to not have problems installing the face plate. In an inspired action the other day, I assembled the sockets in the double switch plate and wired them there. When removed them from the switch plate & put them in the box, it went as easy as pie. I didn't have to fight or lever at all, and the switch plate dropped right on. I just though I'd share, maybe everyone else has been doing that right along, but it was a revelation to me.
