Thanks Glennjanie for the help! I actually have some fancy-dancy glow in the dark fiberglass pull rods for fishing new wire, so it shouldn't be too dificult. I've already done it a few times for new outlets in my house which is a very similar design and was built around the same period...

Hmm, that's weird. I posted a followup to this before the weekend, but the post isn't showing now. :confused: Oh well, I'll try again. Thanks for the reply Glennjanie. I'm a little confused on your advice about the AC. It's a 12,000 BTU window model that only requires a standard...
