Chill Lew, I think he was just saying if you just shut off the breaker the wiring shouldn't be that big of a deal. Positive, negative and ground wires should cover it. [Reply]
and we have the same textured walls, I'm looking to repaint before long but we can't seem to find colors we like, everything is a cream color now. [Reply]
Electricity is easy, if I had a dollar for every time I've been shocked I'll bet I'd have $1000. Of course that's over a 30 year span so that only comes to like 33 times a year. Working on a hog farm sucks sometimes. [Reply]

If your existing switch is wired as a Single Pole Single Throw it probably won't work.
Check how it is currently wired before you buy the switch.

All the existing switch does is interrupt the hot (black) wire on the way to the light. The timer is an actual electrical component so it requires a hot and common wire to operate. [Reply]
