I was drilling a hole last night for a outlet I'm adding in my garage for a TV.I was drilling in the bonus room above the garage and I accidently cut a existing wire feeding the outlets in my garage. My breaker box is not that far away from where I cut wire(6'). My question is do I need to try and feed a new wire from the breaker box up to the bonus room and install a junction box or can I install 2 junction boxes where it is the easiest. I just don't know if I can feed a new wire up through the insulated wall from the breaker box. Would 2 junction boxes be safe. This would be the easiest way if it would be safe. Please reply soon because I want to try to fix tonite and get my garage outlets working. Thanks

Here is the issue. I have a ceiling fan I want to put up. I have installed a few before but the electric wires have always been exposed already. I know that in the ceiling there are some wires I could use, there is a light switch by the door that turns on some lights across the room. So my guess is that they run almost straight across the ceiling. So how to I find them? And when I do how to repair the damage to the ceiling? I am not a drywall specialist, my guess I will find the wire, cut a big hole, tap the wire for the ceiling fan. And that is where I am stuck. How do I fix the hole so that no one can tell what I did. Still not sure if I can pull this off but it is worth a shot.
