    That can be made code easily enough with a box extension and moving the plate to the mirror. I’m impressed they cut the mirror without cracking it.

    Oh, you all tolerate this as a feature in your smart phones but not your apartment. /S

    At least they did not plug an extension cord into it and relocate the receptacle that way, or better yet run copper plugged into that outlet to the replacement.

      Daisy chaining outlets is totally a thing, though. If no wires are exposed, there’s nothing inherently dangerous about running copper from one to another.

        Running copper from the plug? I get from the poles on the back of the outlet… but plugging in copper and then running that to another outlet?

          I think they didn’t read your comment the way you intended. You were trying to describe someone wiring Romex into the plug face and they missed that.

                I’m actually college educated on electronic circuits and do electrical engineering as a hobby.

                As long as the wires can’t short, using the front receptical is functionally no different than using the back.

                It’s all one piece of metal, and it’s not going to be somewhere that it’ll be disturbed.

                It may not be the best way, but done right it’s not dangerous.

          It’s ultimately the same thing. As long as there aren’t any exposed wires, it’s safe.

    Pretty useful. Maybe put an inner facade around it to prevent cuts and it’s perfect. Probably possible with a 3D printer

    I would have straight-cut the mirror above the outlet lol. A shorter mirror would be better than this visit to wackyland.

    I just did a remodel with an apt FULL of mirrors. All of these were extended with custom mirrored plates. Somebody here just didnt know what to do next.
