Converting 3-gang electrical box to single
So I called my sweetie over, who is the resident chef, but knows nothing about electrical, and explained you had extra gang spaces and wanted to eliminate them.  Other than that, I did not &quot;lead the question&quot;. The instant response: &quot;This, please!&quot;

See, now that's the difference between an electrician and a chef.
I've learned to be careful and avoid the &quot;target fixation&quot; which motivates many to do wiring that exactly complies with Code minimums... or is designed to min-max for minimum cost.  We don't work for electricity. Electricity works for us.  Usability is the reason we wire, not Code... and as for cost, most electrical stuff is laughably cheap compared to its value.
