ill be honest and say cause that is how the others are in my upstairs bathroom.. i dont know much about it, so i made it the same.. LOL! this is my first remodel/finish type job and i didnt know any better.. most of the homes here are like that too. even the bathrooms at work are like that.

In all the new houses that i work on here in OK, the outlets are always quite a bit lower than the switches. That outlet looks high to me.

really? thats wierd. well your doin a great job so far rob
oh yeah, you should cut a 6 inch recess light in the shower. if you do, put a shower trim on it for safety. its a code here. that would look sweet.

hmmm, we always put them at the same height as the switch cause its usually next to the vanity and just looks proportioned

i may do that, the light we have in there now isnt as bright as we thought it would be...

They do that near the vanity in the bathroom for ease of access for hairdryers, etc. I was talking about in the living room, bedroom, and other places.
