You should be just fine - any new wiring should be able to handle several new fixtures with no problems. Any old wiring probably can - just be sure it's insulated well. One thing to be sure of however is that the path you assume is really the right path - depending on the house and the original wiring things can get really weird. I had one line that I KNEW - dammit I _KNEW_ - was led off the outlet directly below it. But it was actually coming in from the room next to it. That led to a VERY frustrating day. ;^) Jim Davis ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:193041 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
