Doing a small remodel in the kitchen. Went with a larger footprint fridge/freezer unit which requires a small amount of wall building to enclose the new unit. Unfortunately, there is an electrical outlet right where I want to tie the new wall into existing structure. I'd like to change that outlet to a wall switch (and move it to a proper height) for a new light in a small nook that is part of the plan. However, this outlet is mid-run on the circuit so the new wall switch would need to preserve the continuity for downstream outlets. I know little about house wiring, so the question here is whether this is doable (seems like it should be) and as easy as getting the correct switch and proper wiring in the box? I'll farm the work out to assure it is properly done, but for now I'm just wanting to understand the feasibility of what I want to do before I start framing.
Thanks for your help.
