Did you get a chance to finish the stairs yet? I was wondering how they turned out.

Not yet. That got pushed out until next year due to some other things getting priority. I am finishing up the insulation work though. I'll be finishing it up this weekend. I'm going to get the priming done next and call it for 2013 most likely but I might do some of the flooring/trim/baseboards over the Winter but we'll have to see how it goes. |

The inspector made me install 1" foam board so now the switches are 3/4" inside the foam board. I'm pretty sure the foam board is flammable so I can't just use spacers to screw the switch and plate back on. Anyone have suggestions on code compliant outlet extensions for the boxes? |

| I seen those yesterday but wasn't sure on them. Would I just have to buy longer screws then the extension just gets sandwiched between the original outlet and the switch? |

kudos:1 | comes with screws, and the fins are supposed to be slightly over sized to keep it snug with the wall, so you might have to put a small foam piece above the box to keep it even.
Just use the included screws to mount the switch instead of the screws the come with the switch.
I had to use some on my wife's office when I put up beadboard. (poor man's wainscoting) |

I'll pick a few up at lunch today. Worse case I can return them if they don't work.  |

Was browsing and found these. I think I'll try them instead since they are way cheaper.
