    Moving wires for a new bathroom light fixture
    I have a fifties lighting fixture in the bathroom where the electrical wires to the light are in the middle of the medicine cabinet. After I remove the cabinet and the attached fluorescent tubes, I need to move the wires they can power the new fixture about 12" higher on the wall. I don't know what to do with the old wires and if or how much new wire I will need, etc.
