1. Set junction box in attic 2. Rerun switch leg down to plug 3. Replace plug and junction box Thursday 2-5 Blake@calltoptech.com Customer had AT&T come out to house and run Internet wire in the attic and drilled right beside 120 V circuits feeding down the wall for an outlet. Drilled three holes and for some reason couldn’t get through the 2 x 4 top plate and then moved their paddle bit right beside the wire And it jumped off 2 x 4 and hit the wire and nicked it causing breaker to trip. Explain to customer, I will have to install a junction box in the attic and feed down the wires, feeding the outlet due to the nick in the wire being right above the top plate. Also explained that there could be fireblocking in walls meaning I will also have to cut a hole to fish wire down through the fireblocking and we will not repair it.
