Now that things are starting to settle down here in our new home, we broke ground on the GarageMahal.
Any suggestions/tips from those that know much more than I ever will about electricity and other shop essentials? Keep it simple, essential and wonderland arent the same (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) Specifically I'm looking for advice on # of circuits and size, as well as floor and wall paint/coating/covering options.

Howdy,
How big will the shop be? How many folks working there? What type of major equipment like compressors, lathes, mills, welders, plasma cutters, etc.? I can tell you what I'd do on the electric side at least. Mark |
