First off, I have next to nothing in the way of electrical experience. Proudly just learned how to switch out a light fixture. I can change a lightbulb. That's about it.
My kitchen light switch is outside of my kitchen, and it's annoying as hell. I don't know, am I strange for expecting a light switch to be in the room where the light is? After just about a year in my place, I'm still not used to it... I still swat at the empty wall and have to backtrack out of my kitchen to get the light on. There are no windows in/near the kitchen either (I live in a coop/apartment building... the kitchen is at the front of my unit, far away from the windows) and it's completely enclosed, so it gets pretty dark.
The wall on the inside of the kitchen, right opposite from the switch, isn't perfectly smooth, which leads me to believe that a previous owner had the switch in the kitchen and moved it himself/herself. Why, I have no idea. My question is - how difficult would it be for me to fix it myself? I'm thinking it would honestly be more difficult to fix the wall where the switch is currently.
Can somebody point me in the right direction? Technically, I'm not allowed to do "major work" in my apartment without informing my management company and hiring a certified professional, but I can't imagine this counts as "major work."
