Heard a kid at the supply house call a 4 square box "vintage" and I felt old
Was grabbing some 12/2 at Platt yesterday and this younger guy pointed to a pile of old steel 4 squares we were recycling and said it was "vintage electrical stuff." Made me laugh but also got me thinking about how much has changed. I still use those for everything in basements and garages, but probably 70% of new construction I walk into is using those plastic nail-on boxes now. They're faster but man I miss the feel of a good mud ring on a steel box. Anyone else notice the supply houses barely stock deep steel boxes anymore?

Dude tell me about it. I went to pick up some 4 inch mud rings last week and the guy tried to hand me a pack of plastic ones. Ngl I just stood there staring at him until he went in the back and found the steel ones he "forgot" were still on the shelf.

Do supply houses even stock mud rings that aren't those flimsy plastic ones anymore?
