The boxes for my outlets are flush with the studs and not the dry wall. Consequently my outlets are too deep. How can I solve this?
Thanks, M

There's a constant source of clean water for you to use, and all you have to do is collect it.

The big boxes stock box extensions in the electrical dept. They're made for the different thicknesses of sheetrock,i.e. 3/8", 1/2", etc. Measure your thickness before you go. You will also have to buy longer screws for your outlets to make up this additional reach.
