Also to add, this is a very common circuit. If it looks foreign or strange to you, you may not know enough about what you're doing.

Might want to learn some more before you do something that ends with fire trucks.


This book is great: http://www.amazon.com/Wiring-Simplified-Based-National-Electrical/dp/097929455X/ref=pd_sim_14_1?ie=UTF8&dpID=51AzkPoYkkL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR104%2C160_&refRID=0C6HNSNPS5291MH60M73

The Black and Decker book somebody else mentioned is solid.

Wiring Simplified is a perennial classic and a must-own book for every homeimprover, IMHO. https://www.amazon.com/dp/097929455X/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_3T3yxbXVKFZQ4

It's been published for something like 70+ years and is updated by imminently qualified individuals with every NEC update.

Edit: I should add that this won't make you a master electrician but it will familiarize you with pretty much all foundational electrical considerations found within a normal household, give you reference points within the NEC, and empower you to do detailed research for any specific or unique items that might pop up around your house or barn.

Cheap, and it concisely covers everything you'd need to know to correctly wire a house. I think you can learn the basic mechanics of the wiring it won't cover (like "how to strip Romex without nicking the inner wires") from YouTube, a friend, or Hard Knocks.

I hesitate to tell you, not because I'm being a troll, but because if you don't already know, you have some studying to do in order to do this project safely.

Here's a good start: https://www.amazon.com/Wiring-Simplified-Based-National-Electrical/dp/097929455X/
