All right, we got hack number two for you and that is setting your switch plates or outlet covers screws Now we try to pay attention to every little detail in a house even when we're walking out vacuuming our footprints out But one of them is our switch plates screws and outlet screws We like to actually set our screws I don't know how many of you even pay attention to this when you're putting your screw Covers back on your switch plate covers. Do you just randomly have your screws pointing in any direction? We like to have them all consistent throughout the house We like to have them pointing up and down vertically just like this. So you don't want them crooked It's every little detail matters simple little hack setting your switch plate screws now on a outlet cover It's kind of the same thing. We're going to be pointing it up and down vertical You can have it horizontal Now some electricians might have a preference horizontal or vertical But either set them all horizontal or Set them all vertical don't have them crooked that one is off just a little bit, but we are setting all of ours Vertically when we're all done and make sure you don't scratch Your screws or replace them if the screw heads are scratch Nicked or ding just put new ones on we always keep new ones in our vehicles if we're missing any or if any of them are scratched up Really bad simple little hack number two All right tip number three is using the right caulking for the right scenario in this house
