Another stint
The workbench is off the wall and so is the rest of the plywood on that side. Pulled a couple of staples befrore the back started hurting and had to bail.
Date night tonight. Barb will be there too. Watching DVRd "Biggest Loser".
Oh yea. 4 speakers. The previous owner left some nicely sized Yamaha speakers. I've found 3 of them and hope the 4th one is in one of the stacks of crap he left for me. I have some others as a backup but they are way bigger.
The outlets are currently about 4' apart and at workbench height. It was already being used as a shop so there are plenty of boxes in the wall. I am going to use the electrician that looked at the shop during the inspection and will see what his opinion is. He had a vision for the space based on his experience that I really liked (and I could afford it). I expect the only thing we will need to add is the 220V sockets. There will only be one person in the shop most of the time so I don't see a need to have several tools running at once. It will be feasible to have an extension cord probably 99% of the time without it being a hazard.
I am planning to talk to the electrician about getting power into the middle of the floor. It would sure be convenient for things like my table saw and some power tools that won't be next to the wall.
While you have access to the walls, are you going to wire for sound?? ... extra outlets (1 every foot or so??)
