I need to put an outside light on either side of this door. I didn't design or build this, but it's attached to my house and I've got the permit.
The wire will come down from the top, the switch is on another wall. Can I legally channel the 2x4 or header(s) with a router, run the wire down it and out to the outside to a box? The channel and wire will be protected by a plate.
Also, I need to go up with wiring here but have the 2nd floor header in the way (that light is the one moving to the outside). Can I do the same thing or should I get creative with running the wires?
I'm in Mass and I've done quite a few projects (I'm also an EE), this one makes me take pause and I want it right.
Thanks,
Al
