All this? Just to hide a screw head?

Again, not many frames today. Mostly just hefting boxes and driving between the storage unit facility and the kids' new house.

The house has a lot of these 3-part outlet covers. (Somebody was clearly infatuated with this design.)
» The modern problem: While this is fine for lamps and most video and wireless devices, the outer cover is so far out from the actual electrical outlet in the wall that mobile device chargers with plugs that don't fit through the outer cover opening won't make enough contact with the electrical outlet to stay plugged in.
» From the manufacturer's web site: they apparently no longer make this style of outlet cover. Uh huh.
» Covid-related problem: Hardware stores can't seem to maintain inventory of the old-school outlet covers in the most popular colors (white, light almond). Sigh.

Does seem extreme. Who would think old school ones would be in short supply?
