Electrical and Lighting Rough-in

Just about everything but the countertop 
What happens here
Essential electrical components are installed to power the outdoor kitchen's functions. The video points out electrical outlets embedded in the block structure and small, integrated lighting fixtures along the base of the kitchen. Additionally, an outdoor-rated television, covered for protection, is shown mounted on the adjacent wall under a wooden pergola structure. This step involves running appropriate outdoor-rated electrical conduit and wiring, installing weatherproof junction boxes and outlets, connecting low-voltage wiring for lighting, and ensuring adequate power supply for all appliances and entertainment systems, including the TV. All wiring must be safely concealed within the structure.
Goal: Install all necessary electrical wiring, outlets, and lighting fixtures.
