receptacle/outlets..help!!!

14 years ago

We gutted kitchen. I had electrician run the outlets out more to accommodate the 3/4 brick we are putting in kitchen. My husband put up the drywall and the receptacles are just about flush to the drywall maybe sticking out just a spec. Will this look totally odd or is there a way to set them out further?

There are "wall box extenders", depending on size and type (single, double, plastic, metal)
