What is claimed is: 1. An electrical wiring method comprising the steps of: providing an electrical wiring component, said component comprising a wiring module, an adjustable junction box, a plaster ring, and a bracket, wherein the bracket can be mounted either vertically or horizontally within a building structure, said wiring module attached to said plaster ring, and said plaster ring removably attached to said box, said wiring module configured to connect to a source of electrical power on a first side of said wiring module, said wiring module having a user accessible portion on a second side of said wiring module configured to accept and provide said electrical power to a selected one of a plurality of types of functional modules, wherein one of said functional modules is configured to connect to said second side of said wiring module without accessing said first side of said wiring module, said wiring module at least partially enclosed by said box; and vertically or horizontally adjusting said adjustable junction box on said bracket that is either vertically or horizontally mounted within said building structure to position said wiring module into a desired position within the building structure. 2. The electrical wiring method according to claim 1 further comprising the steps of: loosening a plurality of fasteners so as to remove said plaster ring from said box and gain access to said wiring side; connecting a power distribution cable to said first side of said wiring module; and tightening said fasteners so as to reattach said plaster ring to said box. 3. The electrical wiring method according to claim 2 further comprising the step of connecting a prewired ground wire on said box to said first side of said wiring module. 4. The electrical wiring method according to claim 3 further comprising the step of positioning said plaster ring on said box so that said wiring module has a desired orientation. 5. The electrical wiring method according to claim 4 wherein said positioning step comprises the substep of placing said wiring module in one of a first orientation corresponding to a switch function and a second orientation corresponding to an outlet function. 6. The electrical wiring method according to claim 4 further comprising the step of coupling one of said functional modules to said second side of said wiring module according to said orientation. 7. The electrical wiring method according to claim 4 further comprising the step of coupling one of said functional modules to said second side of said wiring module according to a color scheme. 8. The electrical wiring method according to claim 1, wherein one of said functional modules comprises an outlet or a switch. 9. The electrical wiring method according to claim 1, further comprising moving at least a portion of said plaster ring in a direction substantially normal to a wall surface.
