I'm betting that the original plan was to hang the door so it opened/swung from the opposing frame and for some "who knows why" reason and after the wiring had been completed they realized they had to hang the door as it is now. Otherwise, would it be possible to switch the door instead of moving the light switch?
I know, I'd much rather move the switch myself, too. --- Holland's Person, Bill E-Mail: billgal...@centurytel.net - As the skunk said when he fired a shot upwind, "it all comes back to me now."
