yah 1 5/8s drywall course screws do it, i have been zapped so many times in older homes where the outlets aren't gfi protected in the newer ones if you hit the hot side it trips the gfi and you don't get hit.

just pull the outlet out a little and circle it once with blue tape,
you wont get zapped while grouting. y'all not too smart.

Rick,
put some painters tape over the screws and outlet so you don't get any grout in those parts. haven't been zapped in years.

Gueuze, I'm so sorry to hear of your problems with failure! Errr, that is with your wife...Rodney Dangerfield once said, "I haven't talked to my wife in years, I didn't want to interrupt her!"
 ;  TD By the way, nice work!!!

I don't cut light rails around cabinet, jambsaw, fein tool, whatever. Not worth the risk of something hard to fix. Door bases and floor things,mmmm, ok.
I made money today. Estimate matched install. Tomorrow looks good as well.
