All-

1) I am putting pegboard on the wall, and will be putting 1/4" strips on
the wall as spacers. The area includes one outlet, and I would like to keep
this flush with the new pegboard. Are there extenders I can buy at the big
box stores that would keep the wiring inside the box up to the surface of
the pegboard?

2) Are there ballasts for flourescent lighting that do not hum? I know I
read there are but can't remember the specs? I am using 8' bulbs in a
workshop.

thanks all

Yes, there are extension sleeves for the outlets and you can get an
electronic ballast for a 2- F296 T 12 fixture, which won't hum
