I believe Peter_C was referring to switches at multiple room entries. 3 or 4 way switches that control the lights.

Also, it is a code violation for anyone other than a Chicago licensed electrician to do electrical work in Chicago. The city will not issue a permit to anyone other than a Chicago licensed electrician, not even the homeowner can get an electrical permit from the city.

Forgot to mention-use this hole saw on your plaster ceiling. Avoid joists, that can ruin your day.;

. Thanks for the info. Having lived in Chicago since 1989, I am aware of some of the Electrical Codes. Was creating this thread to work with one or more electricians so I understand what's at stake in the easy planning stage.
The basketball ball trick is an old one, still a good one for plaster ceilings ..... [wink
No rush on this job, we've got hot irons all over the place in 3 different properties right now.... [eek]
