Usually 2 coats on patch work and one coat on remaining walls. Look at your paper work and sq footage. If they arent gonna do the work tell them you want the money back for what they didnt do. I’ve already had to do that with a couple other things, estimate included remove/reset of both the countertop and and microwave/exhaust vent. Give me my money!! Lol. Gotta call the proj Mgr and let him know about the gloss/matte issue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s nice, but I’ve spent a lot of time on the road for work and hate hotels.

Suuuuuuucked That does suck. I didnt realize how soon after you moved in all this went down. But that timeline sounds about right. At least they moved you out. I cant tell you how many houses they just throw me in and have me move furniture back and forth a million times to replace floors. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.yuck Posted April 13, 2021 Author Share Posted April 13, 2021 Dearest @Mercer, I hope this message finds you well. I have been searching the internet high and low for a specific wiring diagram and was hoping you could help me out. I have a light at the bottom of the staircase and a light at the top. Im am trying to figure out how to run the wiring so that the switch downstairs controls both lights. A switch upstairs that controls both light. A second switch upstairs that controls only the upstairs light. Thank you for your consideration in this matter. Yours truely, Mr.Yuck Vice President and client 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A second switch upstairs that controls only the upstairs light. Thank you for your consideration in this matter. Yours truely, Mr.Yuck Vice President and client You'll need to purchase a couple of "two way switches" to pull this off. Unlike a normal on/off switch that closes the circuit up when you flip it up (thus turning on the lights), and opens the circuit when you flip it down (thus turning them off) a two way switch is a little more complex. A two way (AKA 3 way) switch has a common terminal, a line one, and a line two. When you flip the switch one way, it closes the circuit between common and line 1, when you flip it the other way it opens up line 1, and closes the circuit between common, and line 2. So you're not really opening and closing a single circuit like on a normal switch. Instead you're deciding if the hot is being sent out to line 1, or line 2 by flipping the switch. 1. Run your neutral directly to the light like you would normally. 2. Take the hot wire coming from your panel, and you put it in the common of one of the switches 3. Connect line 1 from your first switch, to line 2 of the second switch. 4. Connect line 2 from your first switch, to line 1 of your second switch. 5. Connect the common from the second switch to the light. Had to edit for clarity. Edited April 13, 2021 by Mercer 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.yuck Posted April 13, 2021 Author Share Posted April 13, 2021 @MercerI feel like I need a 3 wire in the mix to jump hot to the second switch upstairs that can independently control the upstairs light? Or am I smoking crack? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I mistakenly thought you were asking about two switches to operate one single light circuit. This time I actually read your question properly. Now we're getting complex. Run your neutral directly to the light like you would normally. Take the hot wire coming from your panel, and you put it in the common of the downstairs switch Also run that same hot from the panel to the line 1 on your "upstairs only" switch Connect line 1 from your downstairs switch, to line 2 of the upstairs "all lights" switch. Connect line 2 from your downstairs switch, to line 1 of the upstairs "all lights" switch. Now connect the common from the upstairs "all lights" switch, to your downstairs lights Also connect that common to your 3rd "upstairs only" switch's line 2 Now connect that 3rd "upstairs only's" common to the upstairs lights Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercer Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Oof, it's been a while, and that might not work the way you want it to. That would make it so that you can turn on/off all the lights using the two "all lights" switches, but if you had that second light switch just for the upstairs lights flipped onto hot, you wouldn't be able to turn it off from downstairs. I honestly would need to draw a diagram to figure this out. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.yuck Posted April 13, 2021 Author Share Posted April 13, 2021 Word. I appreciate all your help @Mercer. I know it doesnt feel like it but Im trying to simplify what was there originally. There were an additional 3 lines that jumped off that upstairs hall light powering other stuff. Outlet circuits were mixed in with lighting circuits. The 40s was wildin.

Mercer Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Not sure how far along you are but have you looked into Lutron Cassetta? You can program them to operate however you want, and the switches themselves are sexy as fuck. https://www.amazon.com/Lutron-Wireless-Lighting-P-PKG1W-WH-Assistant/dp/B00JJY0S4G/ref=sr_1_6?dchild=1&keywords=lutron+cassetta&qid=1618317140&sr=8-6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
