So probably know the answer to this (hire an electrician) but figured I would try and see if it is something I can do.
In our house apparently the garage was an add-on as it seems the old owner ran a direct line from the house breaker box to the garage. This line powers 1/2 the garage (east and south walls) which has multiple 110v plugs as well as a few lights.
The main light that is wired into the system is the overhead garage light which I would like to replace with a couple 6' fluorescent bays as well as wire the front of the house for motion sensor lights at the driveway. From what I could tell the owner ran the line into the garage at the main overhead light and then split everything from there. Looking at it I need to rewire the main junction to handle the two 6ftrs and would also like to add a two receptacle plug if possible.
Can provide pics if necessary but hopefully the description helps. I have little to no electrical experience so if it seems like it is definitely not a newbie job (no I do not want to blow anything up resulting in calling out a professional to fix my mistake at 2x the cost of what they would have charged for the job originally).
