I used to be in the horizontal camp, until I realized that wet cleaner wouldn't drip out of the screws unless they were vertical.....

Guilty as well, mine are all horizontal though.

Did the vertical vs horizontal, horizontal just looks better to me.

Who's OCD now??!!

I suppose to be truly off the rails OCD on this particular subject would be to insist on lining up the screw heads for the screws underneath the switch plate that hold the switch or plug to the junction box, Crap, now I have a new project.

Each line I read got me more inspired to better myself. This was going to be a life-changing transformation for me.

It all made so much sense until it didn't.

My late old man built his own house, and worked as a broadcast engineer building TV and radio studios and control rooms. He did all of his own electrical work when he built the house.

When it came time for the town's electrical inspector to approve his work, the guy was FLOORED at how every single wire in the electrical panel was fanned out and bent exactly 90 degrees like a protractor was used. The inspector asked for permission to bring every licensed electrician in the town to come see this panel as he signed off on it, as an example of how to do things.

Fast forward two decades, and my father-in-law who was a retired master electrician was over at my parent's house for a visit. I grabbed a screwdriver, and told him that he had to come into the basement with me to check out my old man's legacy. We took the cover off of the panel, and were both SHOCKED to see that some idiot who installed the central AC system after my father's passing had just willy-nilly knocked out any old punchout and slopped wire onto a breaker. It was like someone assaulted the Mona Lisa with spray paint!!!!!

Respect to your old man RIP.

What a shame that follow up work was so shoddy.
