He'll warn you when danger's coming, fast or slow.
I have a quick question. My living room has a 2 way switch circuit (2 switches SPDT that control 1 circuit). The switches are about 8-10 feet apart on the same wall. Unfortunately, they control every outlet in the room, which means that if we turn off the lights with the switch we also turn off the TiVo. I'd like to take all of the outlets except the one the lamp is on OFF of the switch circuit. Is this possible without ripping the wall open?

I will probably hire an electrician to do this, since I'm not really comfortable with mains power, but I don't think we're willing to lay waste to our living room to do it.
