Time for a bit of electrical

After putting in the light, the next step was to wire it.   So I broke out my wire cutters, and ran some wire from the existing outlet up to the light fixture.  I then removed the existing box, since it was only big enough for one switch, and put in a 3-wide box.  This will allow us to have the switches for both the vanity lights, and the shower lights, as well as the GFCI outlet all right by the door.  The switches for the fan, and heatlamp will go on the far wall.  These aren’t actually the switches that will be used, I’ve ordered some light-up switches to use instead, to act as a bit of a night-light for those middle of the night bathroom trips.  I also realized that I should rearrange the box, so that the outlet is closest to the stud,  as it is under the most load from plugging and unplugging.
