The original question must have been a bit misleading. I understand what I need to make it happen as for a hot for both items, just curious as to the best way to go about this.
There are several reasons for a single switch for the lights only. Location, between two doors, prevents a double box in the main location. I really don't want to install a duplex switch as I'm not real fond of them for this type of scenerio and I am adding a 3-way switch to turn the lights on off, as there are doors on both sides of the room. I'll admit the switch for the fan might occaisonally come in handy, but I rarely turn the fans off, so it's not a big deal to me. I have also considered going with the pushbutton switches, which are more period correct for this house and it's limited on the types. I can get single and 3-way, but not sure about duplex.
hj, I also understan what you are saying about the location of the switch being ahead of the fan.... Again, that was probably somewhat mis-understood. I don't have the jargon perfected! I just know, it is possible to run the wire up the wall, go into the switch box, then up to the fan. I call this the middle, read it somewhere. Or run the power overhead in the ceiling, with a "runner" going down the wall to the switch. I'd call this the end. It's actually currently how my lights are. So right now, when the switch is turned off, everything goes off. Only two wires.
I think jar546's method is what I'll do. I just needed to pick up some more 14/3, to finish the run. I have to get this knob and tube out as it is getting old and it has been insulated over, which I understand to be a bad thing.
GabeS, stop by I have some I'd gladly show you! Actually it's pretty interesting stuff. It is confusing and takes some careful thought when dealing with it. If they need a hot or a common, they just tap into whatever is close. Makes it tricky when eliminating a bit at a time as you have to insure what you unhook isn't leaving something else inline. You mention it turning to dust, that isn't far from the truth, which is another reason, I don't want it in my house. I had a small piece I pulled out of my bath about a month ago, I threw it with some other scrap and went to pick it up last night, when I bent it, the insulation, just flaked off!! Luckily these bedroom lights are all that is still knob and tube, the rest has been replaced long ago....
Thanks for the feedback, I think I've got it from here....
