    probably a stupid switch location question

    Can I put a switch on the opposite side of the same stud a panel is hung? Or should I move it over in the cavity to the next stud? And do water lines in the same stud cavity matter? Thanks, Skip

    Pioneer mini-split: happy? wish you'd spent more?
