Here’s another item that can make the not-so handy homeowner feel a little better about themselves. Do you have an outlet in your home that’s upside down? You CAN easily replace it! In our home here, we had TWO outlets near our modern bathroom vanity that were upside down! Here’s how to take care of this annoyance! Before you start, shut off the power to the outlet and check it. No one enjoys being zapped, I assure you. Next, you’ll begin by unscrewing the cover plate. Remove the two screws from the outlet holding it into the electrical box. Next, rotate the outlet to the correct position and push it back into place, not pinching any wires. Screw the outlet back in and replace the cover. See, you’re getting handier and handier every day!
