come out of the 'floor', go up a support stud to two wire nuts, and stop.
To this day, I have no idea what he was planning to use it for.



A switched light in the attic..is there a ceiling trapdoor in the closet for
attic access?
..or maybe there 'was' going to be one.

OR, run the circuit across the attic and out to a box w/ duplex outlet in
the soffit/eaves area

Gives you a dry outside place to plug in your "roof" Christmas lights and
switched "inside".
No cold wet trips outside in Winter to turn off/unplug the Xmas lights.

We have 2 such circuits Ho Ho Ho!




I installed ceiling track lights in my dining room when my wife was
giving art classes. Above the ceiling was an attic, so it was easy to
run the wiring to a newly installed switch on the DR wall connected to
an outlet on the adjacent LR wall. When my wife gave up the classes, I
removed the track lights but retained the switch, which then did
nothing. Subsequently, I installed a motion detector light on the rear
of my house (for the dog) and used the DR switch to control the outside
light.
