Thanks jlemon for the hook up. W
Ok new question.... I got all the drywall done. GG is a bit of a challenge to work with, especially with the speed loader. So my outlet and ceiling light boxes are sunken below the drywall due to the iso clips and multiple layers, I found spacers for the outlets to bring them up to code, but can anyone tell me where to get extra long outlet screws? Something around 2.5" - 3" is what I need, but I have had no luck at home depot or lowes... Do I need to go to a machine shop for these? Thanks for any input... -Sam

you either need 8X32 or 6X32 machine screws, 8's are for fixture boxes, 6's are for receptacle boxes typically. Home depot or Lowes sells these in sets that have multiple lengths, if you dont find them there check out any electrical supply house in your area.
