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:

)
Specifically I'm looking for advice on # of circuits and size, as well as floor and wall paint/coating/covering options.
