- I would add a caveat to your caveat, Mark. In most parts of the country, the drywall is not considered fireproof for insurance/code purposes unless it is at least 5/8"(?) and taped and spackled. And

- I'm sure code has something to say about a max number of outlets, but it comes down to the 20 amp total you're limiting things to via the breaker. One or two tools at a time sounds reasonable up fro
