[ad#block]Electrical Question: I am going to power 3 outlets from the panel in a garage ceiling with 14/2. They are going to be controlled by 2 three way switches at 2 different parts of the garage to turn plug in light fixtures on.
Additional Comments: I hope you can help, no one else has the specific drawing.
