In 2019 we added another circuit to this box to power lights & outlets in the secure storage closet above it. In the confusion, something may have been switched around. Liblens briefly lost power. Needs to be re-assessed and re-labeled.

There is a wire in this box that comes from the other side of the wall, in a junction box 5' off the ground covered with a 2 gang Plastic Blank Wall Plate which is joined to wires assumed to go to outlets lower on that wall. But since we didn't see the expected result when we hooked it up, it's not connected right now. Also there are no available circuits left in this box. That wire is labeled inside this panel.
