Lighting and outlet plan critique

[klkruser]

Nailing in boxes and so on and this is the startup plan. Any comments or suggestions welcome.

Have three gooseneck lamps for outside so will have boxes for those and a few other undereave lamps (not shown)

How many outlets per circuit are good for a garage. Keeping in mind there is only one of me operating equipment.

Using a 100 a subpanel. 150 feet of 1.5" conduit buried from the house (nothing pulled yet) Do I need ground rods or run it back to house (read lots of threads but nothing seemed conclusive. I plan to do most of the rough in myself and have an electrician to the final tie ins.

Included my build link so you can see the actual structure as it sits now.

Oh and the blue boxes are for the surround sound

the plan looks good...as far as the ground goes it depends. if you fall under 2008nec you need both if not just rods at the building

In the US you would run four wires, two hots, a neutral, and a ground (if supplied from your house panel) and you also would need two ground rods at the garage. Ground and neutral circuit are separated from each other. Not sure if Canada is the same or not.

Likely it is, I'm going to give them a call now and see. I'll report my findings for anyone else up here in BC.
