Moving an electrical outlet in a bathroom isn't always as easy as expected. If you are remodeling a bathroom, it is typically a good idea to replace all the drywall so you can address any electrical or plumbing issues. In this video, I will show a common issue that I see a lot in older homes-- an outlet that has been connected to the lighting circuit. This is not a good method to adding an outlet in a bathroom. Hair dryers require a dedicated circuit and breaker since they have heating element and use a lot of energy. #bathroomremodelingteacher #stevewhite
