I'm not sure if this us the right section. Please move it if there is a more appropriate place.
I have been installing zeave switches throughout my house and have found that the box in the bathroom is to shallow to hold both switches and the wire nuts and everything.
I am considering replacin the old box with a deeper old work one but am curious what code issues there are. Does an old work j box need to be next to the stud or can it be between studs? It seems to me the hardest part will be getting the old box out. Does anyone have any advice before I tackle this?
