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’ve done this a few times and you get props. It’s straightforward in principle but that doesn’t do much for the nervous sweats when you drill that first hole in a pristine wall!
Once you learn how to successfully plaster away your mistakes, it gets easier.
I’m always plastered, hasn’t helped with the mistakes yet but it does get easier.
You gotta get the wall plastered as well, that should help.
Where do I pour the booze into the wall?
You gotta drill a hole first.
I better measure twice, I’m too plastered to make 3 cuts.
measure once.
cut twice.
three times… you plaster.
Measure once
cut twice
measure again
cut five times
measure again
cut some more
get ten gallons of plaster
The hole in the wall wasn’t as bad as drilling through to the basement with the flexible auger. I made a pilot/test hole first at the baseboard to make sure I wasn’t drilling into electric or cooling.
That’s the smaller hole at the baseboard with a bit of weed wacker filament pushed through. The final hole was about two inches to the right.
