Hello,
I am replacing the lighting in my bathroom and have run into a problem. There are two studs which run up the middle of the wall where I am hanging the light. When the house was built, the builder did not use junction boxes for the lighting, so I need to put one in. How do I do this with a stud in the way? I have been told I can notch out a portion of the stud, but is there any other way? Also, are there any smaller junction boxes than the typical size? I was hoping to notch out less. The problem is the light needs a little space behind it in order to be hung because it is stablized by a bolt going through the middle of it. This is probably confusing, but any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
