<VV> Cutting Carpets- Now Dimmer Switch Hole

[RoboMan91324 at aol.com]

It might be easier or at least quicker to install the carpet and then feel 
for the center of the button.  At that point, shove a pin or thin nail 
through the carpet at the right position.  If the carpet is too stiff to feel for 
the center of the button accurately, put some paint or even a wad of 
chewing gum on the button to mark the right spot on the back of the carpet.  This 
way, you don't need to wait for weeks.  Some of us rarely use our high 
beams.
