Electricity in, shocks out....of the picture!

Adding an electric outlet cover.
*Options I considered for this project:
Leaving the exposed outlet cover or being safe and sound and worry free with it properly covered.
*My motivation to do this project:
Safety reasons as well as aesthetics.
*Project Steps:
First be aware you should find your circuit breaker for the room you are doing the work in and switch it off so you do not get SHOCKED. Now if you look at most electrical covers you see that the screw is for a flat head screwdriver which is what you will need. You simply fit the cover over the exposed wall outlet and tighten to a proper fit. Once you have the outlet secured you simply switch the circuit breaker back on and you will have no worries of exposure to shock. Enjoy!
Advice:
Please remember that there is a shocking hazard and you should always cut your circuit breaker off in the corresponding room the cover is being installed in.
