I Built My Daughter A Dream Bunk Bed
What happens here
For the electrical installation, cut out sections of drywall to expose wall studs for running wires. Disconnect the original outlet behind the bed and convert it into a junction box, covering it securely. Run new Romex electrical wire through the wall cavity to a new outlet location above the bed. Splice the wires at the junction box and connect the new outlet, ensuring proper grounding. Additionally, run wire for a sconce light. Install the necessary switches for the lights.
Goal: Relocate and install electrical outlets and wiring for lighting.
