The small office on the main floor was the last room in the house left on the electrical exchange project I have been working on. This room was originally a small half bath and at some point the previous owner converted it to a small office space. There are two outlets, one cable jack, one phone jack and a double switch in the room.

The switch runs an old exhaust fan that will eventually be changed to an overhead light, and one of the outlets. I wired nutted the one that runs the outlet together and put in a blank plate cover for it so the outlet would always be on. I just replaced the switch for the exhaust fan so that when I put in the overhead light, it will run that.
I replaced the two outlets, which were in terrible shape with new white ones and new plate covers.

I removed the phone jacks in the other bedrooms when I did those rooms, but decided that this one would be one that I rewired and replaced just so did just that in case we ever needed to use a regular phone jack again. Obviously I still need to patch from the old jack and repaint but that will be done when this room gets prepped.

The cable jack was another one that needed a blue electrical box put in so that it could be anchored and set up correctly. Didn't take a bunch of pics of it since I have already documented that process.
