If you find wiring for an electrical outlet or switch is in the way, you may be able to move it. The basic process is as follows:

• Disconnect power to the outlet at your breaker or fuse box.
• Disconnect the electrical wiring from the outlet. Remove the outlet.
• Re-route the wire into a different section of the wall.
• Re-install the outlet at the new location and reconnect the wiring.

Always remember to follow proper safety practices when working with electricity!
