Changing a switched outlet
I have an outlet in my house that is powered by a wall switch. I'd like to have the outlet continuously powered without having to use the wall switch. Suggestions? Thanks!

Changing a switched outlet
Shut the appropriate breaker off....then remove the switch. Take the two wires that were previously connected to the switch and connect them to each other with a wirenut.
Put a blank cover plate where the switch used to be. Turn power back on.
