Today’s Tip: Add a light switch

When adding a switch to a new location make the wall cutout large enough to accept a two gang wall case (ask for an old work box, the plastic-type with swing out ears.) Now you have a larger access hole to fish the wires. Install the wires into the back of the box and than install the box into the wall. Connect the wires to the switch and screw it in place. Now instalI a dummy switch right next to the first one. When it comes time to replace the switch you'll have a new one already in the box and the bad one will now be the dummy switch.
