[QUOTE="lilman, post: 229949, member: 793"] Installed metal back boxes and cabling into walls of outhouse conversion - went back today and customer has increased depth of celotex on walls to 100mm (was 25mm)! All boarded and skimmed. I had to cut board to find outlets. Issue is - I can't bring back boxes forward as I can't get behind them. I could use long screws to fit socket fronts to existing back boxes and all will look fine, but this will leave an area behind each socket that is not enclosed within the back box. What are my options? Cheers all. [/QUOTE]
