The electrician that serviced our home doesn seem to understand that the response to a customer's request is not "that not how we do it." The job today job to relocation an electrical outlet and it associated junction box. The outlet was located in the path to a bedroom, about 12 " from a wall. It presented a trip hazard when it was being used. Relocating the junction box would allow the floor to repaired. What we ended up with a white plastic outlet cover on the floor. Not really much of an improvement. This same electrician did the wiring for our kitchen remodel. When discussing under cabinet lighting we asked for bright white lighting rather than the soft white demos he presented. He stated that they had installed lots of the soft white lighting and seemed somewhat reluctant to use the bright white leds. He finally agreed to show the bright white leds, but he was not sure they had any in stock, which might explain his reluctance. The reason for mentionIng of the under cabinet lighting is this incident. Once the lights were selected I asked that they not be mounted flush to the black splash. To which he responded that not how we do it. To which I said I don't care how they do it, but this is what I want. He offered no rationale for "their way". Needless to say they are mounted flush to the backsplash. During our discussion concerning leaving the outlet/junction box in the floor he answered that this was the only location for the box because he had to keep the other circuits together. There was no other solution. When I stated that same logic resulted in the under cabinet lighting being placed in a location I did not want. He answered by saying this how they install them and besides if he put them where I wanted them he would be exposing the wiring which he could not do. When I responded that the wiring could be covered by a wiring chase or conduit. From the blank and bewildered facial expression I can only conclude that this thought had never crossed his mind. Hence I still have cabinet lighting where I didn't want them and a cover in my floor To remind of a job poorly executed. The attached photo shows the location of the outlet box. i think the feed line is contained in the wall, which allow as for The electrician that serviced our home doesn seem to understand that the response to a customer's request is not "that not how we do it."
