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!

    Totally accurate advice, but I haven’t usually seen it be terribly important in a residential setting because

    1. The distances are relatively short
    2. The cables are often overspecced (ie, simple gigabit over 50ft of cat-6)
    3. There’s often only really one viable path due to other constraints

    They’re important considerations for sure, but I haven’t generally bumped up against them in the real world in typical houses.

      Those are solid points. I don’t do any residential work and I suppose that shows.
