Built & wired log house for all light switches. NOW, after we have built the Great Wall of Greenback, we have added pathway lights outside that were not anticipated. The buried wires for lights enter house downstairs in garage. The logical place for switch is upstairs in back of house, and possibly downstairs near front entrance door.
Since the house is logs, my perception is that it will be a VERY difficult job to pull wires through the logs. (bro in law is electrician that wired house and is TERRIFIED that I might ask him to do this /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif)
None the less, I'm brainstorming and thought of some kind of "remote" switch, either low voltage (which I could hide in door trim) wired to main control or radio frequency to again, main control that can then be used to turn outside lights on/off.
Any thoughts on some kind of remote switch setup? I've been to Lowes and asked them. I Got a MAGNIFICANTLY blank stare by the electical pro. His blank stare was only about 1/2 the value of MINE /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif
