How do I convert a 3-way switch to 2-way and use the 2nd switch as a receptacle?
I have a 3-way switch controlling a light, but I never use the second switch. However, I need a receptacle where the extra switch is located. Is there a way to connect the wires at the extra switch so that the first switch turns on the light and makes the receptacle hot at the same time?

It [power] comes in at the light.
*Assumes wired prior to 2011 code.
