Switch not operating outlet. Outlet hot all the time

Hi guys, One preface to my question, I am NOT and electrician, I have been doing some research the past two days on how to best rewire my front room. The basic set up of the room. There are two switches at two different doors to operate the top half of 6 different outlets throughout the room. Our end goal is to have all of the outlets hot all of the time and add in a ceiling fan, where the fan is hot at all times and the light is ran by the two switches. The room that this is going in is finished with drywall. The room above this one is finished as well with carpeting. The room below this room is finished but does have a drop ceiling in it. The breaker that controls that room in a 20amp so I assume all wiring should be 12ga from what I have read. I am looking for some way to rewire all the switches and get power to the center of the ceiling with minimal damage to repair on my drywall. From other posts it sounds like I could simply detach the wires from the switch and nut them together to bypass the switch entirely so all outlets are hot at all times. but then I will have to run new 12/3 to both switches. If I could avoid having to run new wire to both switches I think it would be much easier. Possibly by rewiring the outlets themselves and the possibly being able to reuse the wires between the two switches? I am not sure if that is a thing. I was hoping to just have to cut my hole in the center of the ceiling to add a fan box and then minimal access holes cut to get me to one switch. I will then have to run new 12/3 to the newly installed fan box. Does all of that sound right? would I be able to accomplish it by just running to one switch? Thank you in advance for all of the advise! from other posts I have read, it so

Not sure of the correct fora for this topic, but here we go. I purchased a 120 year old house converted into a duplex. On the floor in question, a previous owner had installed forced air heat. However, all the baseboard heaters were left in place and most of the thermostats are in place as well. I see no reason to have the baseboard heaters. If I were going to be living in the unit, I would take this time to remove the heaters and thermostats, open up the walls to remove the associated wiring (pretty much the ONLY work that was done correctly on the house was stapling the wires. oh, if only they had skipped that step when they were busy screwing up everything else), drywall and paint. However, I'm not going to be living there. So, of my options, what would the august body here recommend? 1) Leave everything in place and let future renters decide if they want to actually use electric base board heating. Screw them if they really wanted a chair right where the heater is. 2) Remove the heaters, pull the wires down to the basement and cap them off. Remove the thermostats, cap the wires, and put a plate over the gang box. 3) Same as 2, but cut the wires in the basement so that the thermostat cannot get power to it and then put in a drywall patch and paint. NOTE: I'm pretty sure this is illegal. 4) Same as 2, but cut open the drywall, take out the wires, patch, paint. This will possibly involve painting the entire interior. I'm not a fan, but if I'm going to do it, now is the time. Any thoughts? Thanks
