A typical setup would be for the box closest to the switch to have a set of wires coming in and a set of wires going out. The farther ceiling box would have only a set of wires going in. The set of wires coming "out" of the first box go "in" to the second.

In the first box, the black wire in should be connected to the black going out and the black for the fixture. Same for the white and green/copper. If you don't connect the wires coming in and out of the first box, you don't get power to the second.

Thanks Bill that make sense -- (you have my layout down perfectly) but since ceiling is IN THE WAY..how can I connect those 'OUT' wires to the second box. ???
Looks like the electrician messed up huh?

It sounds like the electrician did everything correct. The "out" wire is going to the second box. If you could see through the ceiling, you would see the "out" wire from the first box run straight over to the second box as the "in".

What you need to do is to attach the light properly. In the box with just 1 set of wires, all you need to do is connect the light fixture - black to black, white to white, ground to ground. Each nut will have 2 wires under it. In the box with 2 sets of wires, you need to connect 2 existing blacks to the black from the fixture all together, connect all the whites together, and connect all the grounds together. In the box with 2 sets of wires, each wire nut will have 3 wires in it.

If you are going to be doing this work yourself, I would highly recommend you hit the library or bookstore and pick up a basic wiring book. That will give you examples of the common wiring techniques you will likely find in your home. Also, it would be a good idea if you could find someone who has a little electrical experience help you with the first couple of connections. It isn't rocket science, but an hour working with someone who knows what they are doing is worth 10 hours spent on a website.

Thanks AGAIN Bill - It worked just as you said... I actually fixed 2 problems after finding out how to do it from you.
