Way to pull wire to switch without cutting wall drywall
So like any home owner, there are always things to improve, especially when it comes to a house built where they make cuts.
Like instead of pulling an extra wire from the ceiling fan to the wall outlet, so you have constant power for the fan itself, while the lights operate by the switch. Upstairs, they are like that. Downstairs, they are not. Because why do it when the house is built, it saves $2
My question is, is there a way to get a wire up the wall into the ceiling without having to cut a hole in the wall.
We plan on actually putting some potlights in the bedroom, and then just have a double switch at the wall, since the fan doesnt give off much light and the room is pretty big.
IM just trying to minimize any patching/painting I need to do if possible.
I have webbed joists and a finished drywall ceiling, but with fishrods I should be able to just hop from each hole with wire. And I wont have to patch the ceiling since the holes cut will be potlights.
Or is it more or less, cut a hole in the wall to fish the wire to the switch?
