Why does this bother you? I have a switch in my bedroom that controls 3 rec in the soffit outside for Christmas lights. (May I add that there is not one extension cord used.)

thats what I would and have done as well. Let the blade do the work, dont put to much if any pressure on it and make sure it is a brand new blade. Other times if the wall seems sturdy enough I will break the box down a bit by prying its side off, this helps limit any damage when you sawzauwl it. Good luck.

I think "twitly" has a much cuter ring to it.

If I don't have a power tool to do the job I used something like this:
(It's a handle that accepts sawzall blades, use a metal cutting blade)
*Ignore the second image, mine does not have a screw driver attachment

Something I just thought of while whittling away at 1000 posts you can use a oxy acetalyn torch and a fire exingusher

Why not just use dynamite?
You can even train fido and fluffy to deliver...

If you have an extra hand, have them hold the box tightly wit sidecurrers while you sawzall it off.
If the plaster breakes off it only take a few minutes to patch it.....unless it's wallpapered.

I think the key to any work involving old plaster is taking your time. Rushing will only cause damage.

Just use a double stack 3-way switch and leave the existing box.
