noob here.
Is there room to twist 2 wires and hook them to the same screws on a light switch?
Here's what I want to do:
-Light switch now powers bathroom vanity light.
-I want to add exhaust fan and pull wire to the existing light switch, rather than daisy chaining the light and fan.
I prefer this way because in the future, I plan to put a separate light switch for the fan, and can just move the wire over. (Currently rental property, and need to force tenants to use fan)
Also, does it matter what gauge wire I use?
I want to make sure I do it right
