ya get with 5toned, he'll know
A bored electrician to answer your questions
but it sounds like you need a 3-way circuit, which uses 3 wires plus a ground, that way the hot carries through(black), and the RED wire carries the switch leg, to the light
if you can't get with stoned google 3 way circuits and see if any of the circuits match your needs, i do know there are 3 or 4 ways to wire a 3 way for different performance aspects

Good job on getting the power right. I didn't know you were running one of the recep. live all the time. if that is the case just splice in the red wire to the black before going in to the switch and attach it to which every recep. you want. Made a new drawing for you too.

Wow thats cool Qaz,
Thanks for taking the time to draw those out. Something I can understand.
We will go over it tomorrow and let you know if I get it right.
I think what we got looks similar to that but we attached the red and black together to the back of the breaker... gotta double check.

Round 2: We got power!
My bud didn't show this morning so I thought I would give it a shot.
I was wrong, the wiring wasnt the same so I unhooked all the wires besides the light and re-connected them using Qazwers1 diagram. Bingo!
The one outlet works with the switch, the other is constant hot and I didn't blow a breaker. Awesome!
I'm jazzed, I got juice.
Thanks everyone.

keep it up lolHa! Yea right.
Well honestly when it comes to hard wire I really dont know what the hell I'm doing.
But I can follow directions, when I can understand them.
Cool, got that done this morning and built the box to hide that huge ducting.
The left side will be a bench so I can hang out back here and the right side a table.
I am going to try and make the back of the bench lift up and lock to make a table when I need one.
I got insect screen wrapped around the end. Then in the middle that stronger stuff and another insect screen before the vent so I got three screens.
The watershed is almost done. Water comes in the pvc on the right and tee's off up to the filter then down to the float valve in the res. The other end is to attach a hose or wash out the res.
Then a pump will pump it back up through the blue riser extenion and out the back of the cabinet and back in the rear wall of the greenhouse.
Each plant gets two outlets.
And look who decided to join the party.
I flushed her real good a week ago and the last couple days its been like she just woke up.
