I would like to add a ceiling fan with light to the swich. Plenty of room above bedrooms to work. Switch has one direct line (14/2) to outlet. Oddly enough, switch has two black wires attached to the top and bottom of the switch and both white wires are connected? House built 1966. Above, in the attack, I see two wires coming out directly above bedroom switch location. One wire is heading directly over to the electrical outlet being controlled by the switch and the other wire is, I assume, heading to the bedroom closet light and on to the other outlets in the room.
Question: Can I cut the 14/2 wire going to the outlet from the switch and tap in (juction box) to the non-switch wire going to the bedroom closet and other outlets to make the controlled switch hot all the time?
Then use the wire left in the wall going to the switch to pull (thread) down the new wire that will go from the switch to the new ceiling light?
If I am going to install a ceiling fan with light, what wire should I use and should I install an extra switch? What do I hook that wire to at the switch?
Thanks for the help!
