Currently I have a hallway with 2 3 way switches that comtrol a light
in the hallway and a light in a seperate room.

I want to change that so there is a seperate set of 3 way switches that
control the hallway and a seperate set of 3 way switches that control
the room, but will be on the same electrical line. I hope that made
some sort of sense...

Is it possible to do that from the current configuration?

Thanks

Of course, anything is possible if you are willing to throw enough money
at it.

Chances are if the present installation was done in the most usual
fashion that you even if you are able to separate the leads to the two
lights you won't have enough "traveler" wires going between the two
switch locations to let you add two more 3-way switches.

So, you'll be in for some wire pulling and prolly some associated
wall/ceiling busting to get the job done in a workmanlike and code
passing manner.

Cool, the wire pulling isnt a problem since the hallway and room are in
the unfinished part of the basement...I figured i would have to spend
the money for wires, boxes and switches

Thanks for the information
