Question

3 way to outlet question????

Ok I have a light in my kitchen, it is controled by two 3-way switches. (one on each side of the room) Nothing else on that line. Is it possible to take out one of the 3-ways and make it an outlet; and make the other 3-way a single pole switch?
THANKS ALL!

Yes it is.
Do you know where the power is coming in. Switch1, switch2, or light? If you can open each of the switches and the light and tell me where all the wires are attached I can tell you how to connect it.

Darn!

I cannot tell for sure, (friends parents house) I would assume it comes from the s1 (kitchen entrance) that is where there is three other switches. I want to replace S2 with an outlet.
I will have to make a trip out there next week and look at the boxes.

the lights on one of my circuits started flickering the other day and then the whole circuit just died but it did not trip the breaker.i turned it off then back on and it worked but i could hear a buzzing in the breaker itself.thought maybe a bad breaker so i replaced it but the new one does the same.some times it will stay on for awhile before it stops but it never trips the breaker.when it's out i don't even have 110 across the breaker itself.any help would be great.thanks.Read More

Hey guys. Long time since I have posted. Anyhow, my 200A upgrade went very well - the inspector approved the work yesterday and thought the contractors did an excellent job. I am just about finished with the drywall portion of my project, so once I am finished priming it, I plan on using the space temporarily as a workshop to build some built-in shelves for the room. I want to get those installed prior to final paint and carpet. So, I assume I can finish (add switches & connect to breaker) one of my recessed lighting circuits and a couple of 20A outlet circuits for use during that period, right? Do I need to add the trims to the recessed cans, or can I just put in some temporary bulbs? TIA TonyRead More
