WOW! never seen one that bad :eek . I hate painted over outlets. espesly when you have to crack out all the paint to plug something in.
Theres always enough room in the junction box.You just need a bigger hammer

Now the mystery will be, is the receptacle in a box or was it just directly buried in the plaster? ![[Linked Image]](https://www.electrical-contractor.net/ubb/eek.gif)

Errrm, let me guess! No cover plate but all papered over and then painted over the wallpaper? Think I've occasionally seen that method.
