Sure you can. Just buy a glass cutter.

honestly just needs a rubber grommet in order to make it look like the hole was intended design.

Except you can't access the outlet when it needs replaced

Eh, good luck finding the right size box extension. I'd use a spark guard and caterpillars to bring it flush.

At least they did not plug an extension cord into it and relocate the receptacle that way, or better yet run copper plugged into that outlet to the replacement.

Daisy chaining outlets is totally a thing, though. If no wires are exposed, there's nothing inherently dangerous about running copper from one to another.
nokturne213 4 points 2 years ago
Running copper from the plug? I get from the poles on the back of the outlet⦠but plugging in copper and then running that to another outlet?
KnightontheSun 7 points 2 years ago
I think they didnβt read your comment the way you intended. You were trying to describe someone wiring Romex into the plug face and they missed that.
pearsaltchocolatebar 1 point 2 years ago
No, I knew what they were saying.
pearsaltchocolatebar -5 points 2 years ago
It's ultimately the same thing. As long as there aren't any exposed wires, it's safe.

You know me landlord it seems lol

It belongs in a museum.

I would have straight-cut the mirror above the outlet lol. A shorter mirror would be better than this visit to wackyland.
finitebanjo 3 points 2 years ago

I'm impressed with the hole. I couldn't do that to save my life.
