Got an electrician coming to put whole new wiring in my Kitchen I offerred to gouge the walls and place the boxes before he comes in an attempt to reduce costs which he accepted. Now, these walls are made of horrible orange empty thin useless excuse for hollow bricks so any attempt to make a square hole, crumbles back to leave a huge opening. Now each hole is far too deep, so Q. Can I pack with timber to space put the boxes so they are flush with the walls ? or is timber a no no ?
I have planned the 30mm from Hob/Sink and 150mm height above worktops (in case you ask) TIA
