Hey Joe,

I thought you might like this picture of somebody's "clever" weatherstripping of a receptacle. It was found in an apartment renovated a few years ago under a permit! Not too sure how this got slipped past inspection, but all of the receptacles on the outer walls are just like this.

I took this picture myself and you may use it for anything you want.
