On Monday I got two new poplar dowels at Lowe's, one at 3/8 and one at 5/8. I got the 3/8 because I wasn't entirely sure that the very first dowel I tested, which was too small, wast 1/4 instead of being 1/2.
5/8 turned out to be the correct fit. Now all I have to do is cut the dowel to about 3/4" length and glue it into the sheetrock hole. I've been debating whether I should use QuietGlue Pro or a high quality white glue I purchased recently.
I took a look at the caulking around the switch box and panel. They actually looked pretty good except for the tiny gaps I knew I needed to fill and the unfinished side.
I can still smell the oil based paint (now I wish they had not used that) and the tile grout.
