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.

Enlarge bathroom, put beer fridge in bathroom. Make sure fridge is accessible while seated.

Also keeps the beer stock (or lack of) out of sight of the wife since she would never dream of going into the garage bathroom (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I think this may be a hijack...
