What happens here

Turn off power to the electrical outlets at the main breaker. Carefully remove the existing outlet covers and the outlets themselves. Use wire strippers/cutters to prepare the wires. Measure the dimensions required for the new recessed electrical boxes. Use a utility knife or oscillating tool to cut the drywall to fit the new boxes. Install the recessed electrical boxes into the openings, securing them to the drywall. Route the electrical wiring into the new boxes, leaving sufficient length for future connections. The presenter implies these are similar to kits used for recessed TV outlets.

Goal: Modify existing electrical outlets by installing recessed electrical boxes, allowing for flush mounting of future backlit mirrors and maintaining a clean wall surface.

What they say

a second. Here's what we have to do. In order to accommodate all the electrical, all these outlets need to be recessed in. So, I bought these little recess kits. I I I've never used them before, maybe once, a different one. Um but essentially, it's the same kit you would get for the recessed outlet for your TV, right? So, you don't see the cables coming below. I'm going to figure out how to break this off, cut into it, drop this in, therefore I can connect anything I need. So, I'm going to kill the power, get my work light on, and get to work. Hey, that came out really, really clean. Oh, I want to show you guys something actually.
