It’s my first house and I was hesitant to drill holes in it, but things came out okay.
Not only is the faceplate level, but it’s also pretty much level with the existing electric outlet faceplate!

I used a vacuum laser level to get the top height right, then a small hand held level to make sure the vertical lines were plumb.
It helped using one of these low voltage drywall mounts - they have tiny holes in the corners to help cut out the exact dimensions required for mounting.
I don’t think the vacuum laser level is included on the tool list at the hall but, good work.
We usually trace out the inside square of an MPLS caddy brand ring. After the trace we cut slightly outside that line for a nice LV cutout.
Definitely worthy of, at least, an honorary union book.
That means a lot to me - I’m learning as I go here and trying my best. :)
Also, this is the level: Ryobi AirGrip (Home Depot). It’s probably not great for a daily driver level, and I’m not sure of the longevity - but it’s great for a hands free, no damage level.
Oh wow, that’s neat. I could see that being used on new construction where the drywall screws aren’t caked behind 7 layers of paint. I would be spoiled by that tool.
Thanks for showing me.
