Wiring holes in wall

One of the long-standing things I hate about this house is the holes in the walls.  Nobody should have holes in the walls after 7+ years!  We got to a complete, frustrating standstill on the back patio area and decided to skip to another project for now.  We are working on the holes in the walls from the wiring.  We have a few electrical sockets that don't have plates, some blank holes in the wall for goodness-knows-what, and some uncovered low-voltage jacks (phone, internet, etc).  The last few weeks we've been working on these wiring holes.  After this, there is only one more hole we need to fix which will be done soon.

Here's today's work:

This is a before shot of the holes in the wall.  This is in our den, one of the two TV areas in the house.



Here is the same spot with the plates attached.  It's a small change, but it feels so much better to have all these little spots taken care of.  Now of course the wires need to be taken care of, but one step at a time!  We eventually want to run these wires in the walls.


This plate was a bear to put on!  I kept thinking that the wall was messed up as a result of all the terrible work we had done, but in this case it was actually the plate that was messed up.  You can see how curved it is!  This will be replaced someday, but for now we work on what's most annoying and this has a long way to go.
