Hello,
I want to install a Garburator (food disposer) in our Kitchen. The problem I am having is routing the power wire. I have a 110 volt plug above the kitchen counter under the kitchen cabnets aproximately 5 feet away from the sink where I want to get the 110 volt power to energize the disposer. I obviously have studs in the way if I were to route the wire straight across inside the wall and don't want to remud walls etc.... Since the kitchen cabnets are over the plug AND where I want to put the switch. I am considering routing the wire directly up inside the wall and poke the wire out directly above the cabnets, then run the wire down the cabnet to the stud where the switch will be.....then poke the wire back inside the wall and fish down to the new switch box where I will mount the switch. Running a wire on top of the cabnets will be totally invisible unless your 8 feet tall......The rest is easy...just run the wire down and come in under the sink.
My question is: Is this common practice? Or is this a Hokey fix? Thanks....Jim
