Need some help with wiring (House)

I want to start by recommending you get a proper permit for this work dependent on where you are located. I hope my sketch attaches to this post as this won't make much sense without it. I have never tried to attach a PDF to a post before. If it doesn't feel free to PM me your email address and I'll send it to you.


Light 1

Light 2

Light 3

Switch box

Always remember to run the bare wires so they do not come in contact with the exposed live electrical parts in the box such as connection screws. This will cause the breaker to trip and may cause other damage like burned off wires etc.

I would recommend a deep box for light 2 since there are additional connections needed at that location. Dependent on the codes local to your area, it may not be necessary but it will definitely be more convenient for you.

As was suggested above, a timer on your bathroom fan is a good idea. The timer will directly replace the fan switch but if you chose an electronic timer over a spring wound timer you will need a 4 wire for cable “C”.

Remember, when buying household electrical wire, it always only counts “Current carrying conductors” so a 3 wire means 3 “Current carrying conductors” and the bare ground.
