It wouldn't be that much harder to tap it into the receptacle, it
would look less cobbed.
You may find the top of the wall to be the biggest challenge, unless
the pitch of your roof is
pretty steep, there isn't room enough for humans and tools at the edge
above the wall.
You may luck out and find the wire for the receptacle runs from the
top down, then 2 possibilities
appear; run your wire down beside the existing wire, or just break the
wire in the attic, install a junction box
& tap it right there. If you decide to tap it at the receptacle and it
is nailed on metal box, you can cut the
nails and pull the box & replace it with a plastic new work box, maybe
even a double & have 2 outlets there.
It still will be less than ideal as you should have light and
receptacles on separate circuits, to keep a short in
a plug from leaving you in the dark.

I am looking to some advice how to install a light fixture in a middle
of the ceiling
So far room has only the receptacle which controlled by the switch. I
am thinking
of making a round hole in the ceiling , install fan brace and run the
wire between the beams straight to the
wall making small opening to pull the wire and run it between the
studs down to the floor
Then I am planning to remove the baseboard and make small openings
close to the studs and
run wire through the studs to the receptacle.

Any advice would be appreciated.- Hide quoted text -

I should have mentioned that before. This is two-story hose and I am
talking about 1st floor. There is a second floor above it.
