"I like to keep a lot of my spare pieces of sheet rock just in case; just don't want to put nothing away. I can always patch up here; make them fit so that I can save my big pieces for when I need them. You?re not telling me. Some people throw their stuff away. I don't. I'll take all mine at the end of the project. The outlet down here, in which we are going to have make sure that we don't cover up because it's a live one, if it was dead, I wouldn't worry about it.

on 8/21/2008 If the outlet was dead, an electrician should remove it and remove the wires. This should have been checked and done before the wall went up. It's still a fire hazard. Good thing you're not covering it up.
Also, what's going on with the irregular drywall screws? Keep it clean, 16" to the stud, straight down every 12", and offset the screws in the Homasote and Sheetrock by 6" so you don't screw into a screw.
