Lights on the top of the stairs
Finally, after many weeks/months I have lights at the top of m
y stairs again. The last connections were made today linking an arc fault protected circuit into the original wiring in the attic. I have lived without a foyer light, and used a timer at the top of the second floor staircase. Once I verified the wiring it was just a matter of hooking it back up since the 70 year old wires are in good shape and I have lights at the top of my stairs again. Soon I will spread the new insulation over the existing insulation to keep some of the summer heat out of the house. First, however, I need to complete running phone, ethernet and coax into the bedrooms.
One thought I have is I may be able to wire the porch light into a photocell control so the lights will be on when I come home in the winter - otherwise I need to leave the lights on all day to have to unlock the door. Now that I know were the junction box for the switch and the line running to the light is it shouldn't be too hard - just it will be installed in the attic facing north.
