Herein taught is a novel protective cover plate for temporarily covering a prior art electrical outlet box during the construction process so as to protect the electrical outlet box from contaminants, such as plaster, joint compound, or the like. The cover plate is formed from any suitable material that can be corrugated so as to form ridges and grooves. This arrangement provides unusual results as it provides a natural finger grip and it allows the cover plate to be easily adapted or modified on site so as to be useable with substantially any type, style or various size of electrical outlet box.

Protective cover plate for temporarily covering an electrical outlet box

A prefabricated concrete wall with outer and inner wall panels seperated by a rigid insulation panel and air cavities, that allows each wall to expand and contract independently. Mounting brackets are embedded in the panels to allow the inner panel to be raised and dropped into place and openings for doors and windows are provided as well as cavities for electrical service panels, plumbing, electrical boxes, etc. The outer panels are joined together by pins and the base mounting brackets have slotted holes to allow the panels to expand and contract. Also, the outer surfaces of both the inner and outer panels may have finished surfaces to take the appearance of stucco, bricks, stones, or wood panels, etc.
