In order to run electricity in our kitchen, the craftsman has violated the load-bearing structure. What does the expertise say here? Can I see it as cosmetic (it looks awful!) or should I be worried?
From a structural integrity standpoint, you don't need to worry about that. It might not be a masterpiece, but it will be covered, and in the end, when the invoice comes, it can be nice that it didn't take up an unnecessary amount of fine-tuning hours.
One can still not help but be amazed at what an electrician considers himself capable of doing without consulting someone who knows. Plumbers are also skilled at inappropriate hole drilling.
From a structural strength standpoint, you don't need to worry about that. It may not be a masterpiece, but it's going to be covered, and in the end, when the bill comes, it might be nice that it took a few hours of fine-tuning.
Thanks for the response. That sounds reassuring.
But I still have a few follow-up questions that are nagging at me. If additional studs up to the right outlet are equally excavated, is it still not a problem?
Placement on the house as below. Still not a problem?
I would rather say that the electrician has thought it through: no risks with nails being hit when putting up the cornice or door trim.
What would the alternative have been, really?
Of course, there is a limit to how much you can carve before it starts to matter, but with what you describe, I would remain calm. I would almost believe that the new plaster helps more than the carving damages.
I'm a bit curious about how they approached the studs; it looks like they just whipped around with the reciprocating saw or something.
