Brief Description:  Add electrical outlets and lighting

I had an electrician install a new 20A circuit in the garage with a 2 gang box on the wall next to my workbench and a couple more 2 gang boxes on the ceiling for my LED lighting. For the light near the workbench hanging from the ceiling I got a WiFi built-in speaker. It's not the best but it's better than playing from my phone. Both lights are 4000K color (bright white) and put out 3600 lumens each.

Over the bench I put in a 4 ft Lithonia LED strip light and mounted it to the pegboard support beam. The only reason I mention it is this light was perfect for my needs, but I had a hell of a time getting one that worked. If this is typical of Lithonia lights, I'd pass on their products next time.

I also embedded the back bucking plate in one of my EAA workbenches. There was no need to fasten it in place. I just cut around the plate, removed the carpet and dropped the plate into place. It fits perfectly!

I also got a couple of small parts drawers that I'll probably hang on the wall and part of the pegboard. Maybe. I haven't really figured out the best way to do it yet.

I got a good start on organizing the aircraft tools.
