Solutions

The fix was simple (when you know how). The electrician took a square-U shaped metal frame that had hooks on its leading edge and pushed it into the drywall (the rough side, not the side facing into the room), embedding the hooks. The frame went around the cut-out opening in the drywall where the receptacle had been. Then he slid the receptacle back through the opening and into the metal frame, and then screwed the receptacle to it. Simple. When you know how.

And, we now have a) a reading light over what will be the tub, and b) a larger, quieter fan with its own 'night light' mode.

As my wife says, just by themselves, they're not quite worth all we're paying for this work, but they're close!

My wife came back from the "Home Show" with a hundred dollar shower head.

Wasn't even gold plated.

Not "quite" worth it indeed.

Sounds like one of those new aerating shower heads. We thought about it, because they save water. But it didn't pass the 'what we have now still works' test.
