How to Install an Electrical Outlet
by
John
We only have one electrical outlet in our garage and it was located far from where we needed it, so we opted to add another ourselves. This new outlet will be located right below our workbench so we can plug in all of our power tool chargers. See our blog post for a complete tutorial.
I started by locating a source for the new outlet's power.
Next, I cut a hole in the wall for the new outlet.
I ran the cable from the power source to the new outlet location.
The new outlet has the cable ready to be roughed-in.

John, what an excellent step by step instruction that you posted in your article. The pictures that are included in the instructions are ones that I could keep in mind. My reason for saying that is mostly because I have plans of creating a room for my daughter who just finished college. The only trouble that's giving me is the wiring which, my idea is to probably get in contact with my brother who know very well about electrical issues. <a href='http://www.protec.ws/en/electrical_services.html' ></a>
