I asked this question once before and since have new info. I am remodeling a bathroom in a 50 year old house. There was a single light with a pull chain on the ceiling in the bathroom. I removed the fixture (and part of the ceiling) to find the following: two old non-armored wires (appear to be copper) and can't tell which is black or white, coming from the ceiling. There is also another cable with black, white, red and ground wire which looks as though it may be coming from the kitchen. The black and white wires are connected to the two ceiling wires and the red and ground are not connected. From this mess I would like to install a GFI combo with the switch controlling a new light and the receptacle always hot so I can plug something in if necessary. Can this be done with the current setup?? Thanks so much for your help.
