Light switch to switch and outlet
I would like to change an existing switch to a switch and outlet. There is a black wire and a grey wire going to the existing switch. I already have the new switch/outlet and am ready to go.
Thanks.
Thanks.

If there are only two wires in the switch box, one gray and one black, then this cannot be done without more wire (unless you are willing to make whatever the switch controls now always on).

Jack,
Your other alternative (assuming that there really are only two wires in the box) is to replace the existing wire with a new wire (or add another wire if the wires are run in conduit).
What does the switch control, and what room in the house is this in?
