[Electric] Replacing and existing handy box with a remodel box
In a 1960's home I replaced a circuit that had old, ungrounded wire
with 12/2 NM cable, and phished it up through the wood floors into the existing handyboxes. All went well so far. Unfortunately the old handy boxes aren't big enough to hold both the incoming 12/2, and outgoing 12/2, not to mention the grounds that are going to be connected. So now I need to remove the older, smaller handyboxes and while I managed the wiring part without damaging anything, I don't know how to remove the existing handy-boxes to be able to install remodel boxes without creating a mess. Is there a method that will allow the least breakage of the drywall so that I can patch it up easily? Thanks. -- Himanshu |
