Different methods, same grief all over the world... if you remember the thread over at the picture forum, European drywall boxes are round and cut in using a hole saw drill bit. Sometimes we cut them in, sometimes the drywallers do. If they do, beware! They'll most likely miss a few.
Never had nicked wires fortunately, but after all I hardly do any drywall jobs.
Tiled-over boxes are even more fun!
