I know a similar question has been asked but mine is a bit different and confusing. I have a basic 14/2 wire coming from a switch going into an outlet box. The white from the switch is pigtailed with two other black wires, one from the power source, the other I believe is feeding other recepticles. The black from the switch goes into the outlet box as well to the top brass screw on the outlet itself ( the bridge tabs on the outlet are not broken ). There is a white wire going to the bottom silver screw, it's black wire is pigtailed with the other black wire and white switch wire. There is no black wire on the other side of this white wire on the outlet. The top silver screw also has a white wire and it's black wire is pigtailed with the other black and white switch wire. I wanted to add a ceiling fan so I was able to run a 14/2 wire from the ceiling fan box I installed to the outlet box (wasn't able to run to the switch because of joist direction, etc). Is there a way to wire this up so the ceiling fan can be switched and the outlet is always hot?
Rewire switched outlet for ceiling fan
