ADDING NEW WIRING FROM BOXES IN CEILING




If your home has an unfinished attic, it may be easier to add new wiring by
attaching it to boxes in the ceiling. In this way, gravity works for you rather
than against you.
Attach the cable to the box as previously described.
Cut a hole in the wall at the desired location for the switch or receptacle, and run
the cable from the box in the ceiling to the new outlet location.
Bring the new cable through the wall and ceiling by cutting and drilling holes in
and through the wall, the 2x4 plate, and the ceiling. A special fish tape is
available for these types of jobs.
