My bathroom has a hallway switch which turns on the light (above vanity) and also turns "on" a grounded outlet.
I'd like to change this to a GFCI outlet which is always "on" with the switch for the lights still working.
Can anyone tell me the best way to do this with minimal re-wiring?
I thought about removing the hallway switch, changing the outlet to GFCI and then adding a switch downstream of this inside the bathroom for the lights. Would this work? I think for code safety I have to put a blank plate where the old switch was which isn't ideal but I could live with it.
