I made a mistake running wire for ceiling fan, I have a hot line in at ceiling box and also a switch leg down to wall switch for the light, I thought about last night I also want a switch for the fan so not have to use the pull chain. Its a 30 ft run to run another switch leg but I have a hot line just 4 ft from the switch box. If i run a hot into the switch box I can use the black in the switch leg to run the light and the white in the switch leg to run the fan. I wont need the hot in the ceiling box but can get the neutral from it . Is this a code violation ? i know its allowed to mark a white switch traveler with black tape
but is it allowed when wired this way
