Thank you in...

Hey!
I've got one room in the house with a wall socket. I'll be installing a new wall socket on the other side of that wall, passing an electrical cable from one socket to the other for wiring it up. I'm pretty sure the wall has some kind of insulation, should I be adding a tube or cable sleeve...

Thank you in advance for your help. I recently purchased a home and while removing some built-ins I found that they had a 14/2 wire running inside the built in between an outlet behind the built in and an outlet next to it. I assumed they ran a new switch off the hidden one when they installed...
